"Once, I saw a bee drown in honey, and I understood." -Nikos Kazantzakis
Hello, I haven't posted in a while but I gathered up the courage to finally post a song I wrote that's incredibly personal and close to my heart.

This is for those (me included) who thought they could play god and got burned in the flame.

lyrics

Icarus was goin' up.
Soaring had its own sweet sound.
Forget the ground.

Wind is rushing on his face.
The world looks tiny from that place.
Forget the ground.

Oh, how high do you need to go?
Where are you running from?
What are you searching for?

Oh, What do you need to know?
Is the glory what you're chasing for?
We'll never know.

Soaring the heavens,
with plucked feathers
And hot tar.
Forgot where your place is.
Dreamed to go where God is when
Mortals aren't meant to get that far.

Icarus was now high up,
Blinded by the sun's bright rays.
Promised better days.

Ignored all the warning signs,
Despite the burning from his eyes.
Like moth to a flame.

Crashing from the heavens,
With burnt feathers And hot tar.
You thought you can outrun it.
Tried to be like God when
Mortals aren't meant to play that part.

Falling down,
At the speed of sound.
The deep welcomes you now.

Soared for a moment,
Thought you were God, and
Now you're back to the ground.
(Now you're back to the ground,
Now you're back to the..)

Falling down,
At the speed of sound.
The deep welcomes you now.
(The deep welcomes you,
The deep welcomes you with..)

Soared for a moment,
(..Open arms.)
Thought you were God, and
(Thought you were God, and..)
Now you're back to the ground.
