Anna Miriam Brown - Dear Icarus Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sneer at the sparrow singing at my window
Such a pretty, little, lucky thing
I sneer at the arrow of comparison
That's buried in my chest
Why did God forget to give me wings?
Why, why, why, why was this restless little soul within me made to fly?
Fly, fly, fly, fly?

[Pre-Chorus]
I long to glide across the rising sun
My eyes on fire
I have tendencies to only want
What I shouldn’t desire

[Chorus]
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
Oh, to feel the sun's reflection in my eyes
As I rise
Oh, they tell me to get rid of it
'Cause risk is inconsiderate
"Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot"
But oh, what I wouldn’t give to try
To fly

[Verse 2]
Father says men like me and him
Shouldn’t be caged in
So we will take the east wind and a map
To a place without a prison
A place where freedom's given
Where we won't be in the kitchen dipping feathers into wax
And he straps angel wings to my back
[Pre-Chorus]
Saying
So long as you stay far from the sun
My child, you’ll fly
You have tendencies to want your fun
Your wild will be your demise

[Chorus]
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
Oh, to feel the sun's reflection in my eyes
As I rise
Oh, they tell me to get rid of it
'Cause risk is inconsiderate
"Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot"
But oh, what I wouldn’t give to try
To fly

[Refrain]
Oh, I never could get rid of this
When heaven looked so limitless
I’m Icarus, your beautiful idiot
Oh, my father you are missing this
Let it melt your bitterness
I’m Icarus, your beautiful idiot
Oh, I cannot blame my ignorance
I'll blame the sun's deliverance
I’m Icarus, your beautiful idiot
Oh, I’m sorry I’m indifferent
To death and its relentlessness
If Icarus must die
He’ll die a beautiful idiot
