Ani Difranco - Icarus Lyrics
Seems like you justStarted noticingHow noticably bad things really areAnd when you walked past this couple arguingIn a rolled up windowOf a parked carAnd all of thatGesticulated bitternessAnd all of thatMuffled yelling hellIts dark just starts wafting at youLike a big fury rat diedInside of that wall kinda smellBreathe like its rolling like a cold frontThunder is thundering and lightening in towAnd your tiny little life getsEven smallerAs you heed the heavens mighty showAnd I dont mean heavenLike god-likeThe animal in me knows very wellNature is our teacher, our leader, and our loverAnd God is just another story that we tellAnd youre trying not to grasp-not to start graspingAt straws -or sticks- or stonesJust learn how to sit inside your sadnessEven if youre sitting there aloneIts just like icarus ascendingNever intending to look backNatures law and your tragic flawI find descendingFlying into the arms of a venus flytrapGuzzle till the buzzer stopsGuzzle till the buzzer stopsGuzzle till the buzzer stopsGuzzle till the buzzer stopsGuzzle till the buzzer stops
