Daedalus, My Father Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where am I to run
When it's colder than it's 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Still, I fill up my life with every broken thing
But I come back to you, the one who makes me sing
[Outro]
One who makes me sing (The one)
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
One who makes me sing
One who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing (You are)
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
Where am I to run
When it's colder than it's 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Still, I fill up my life with every broken thing
But I come back to you, the one who makes me sing
[Outro]
One who makes me sing (The one)
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
One who makes me sing
One who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing (You are)
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
The one who makes me sing
