Daedalus, My Father

(album: Ready The Astronaut - 2021)

Where am I to run
When it's colder than its
Ever been before
And I feel I don't know you
Really anymore
So I cry and I call
But no one ever hears
And I can't hear your voice
Ringing in my ears

And I thought that I could fly
With the wings of my father
Stretched up to the sky
And the words that you said
Forever you and I
Now they feel like some island
I will never see
And I'll stop looking up
For rescue planes for me

Could I fix these wings
All the wax and the plume
Have nearly fallen out
And my father's nowhere
To help me figure out
If a word I could say
Would ever change your mind
So I walk on the water
And sink down every time
And the words that I sing
Feel so fucking dumb
Cause I know that your heart
Has already come and gone
So I fill up my life
With every broken thing
But I come back to you
The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing...
