Icarus at Twenty-Six

I am tired and stressed Feeling desperate and sad When I just want to feel alive I want to be someone else Someone who doesn't have to hide The sharp sting of regret tracing every step Every mistake I ever made you pointed out You couldn't help yourself It's just like you to pull me down I am bored to death Feeling so reckless and lost When I just want to feel alright I want to be somewhere else Somewhere I don't ever have to hide The dull ache of distress haunting every step All the changes I tried to make were not enough You couldn't help yourself It's just like you to hold me back When I finally feel like I'm starting to take flight You say be careful not to keep flying so high I couldn't help myself I flew into the sun
