Burn Icarus Songtext
von Dysmn

I learned early that empathy bleeds out fast
That morals rot when you starve them long enough
That if you lower yourself to the animal
The screaming upstairs finally shuts up
I replaced doubt with instinct
Shame with appetite
Grief with violence
And suddenly the screaming stopped
No more questions
No more ethics
No more pretending

I am wrong
But then I lose nothing
It doesn′t hurt if you never cared at all
No more light
We are in love with vengeance
When I die you won't lose a thing


I hurt people
I hurt myself
I built a throne out of bad decisions
I descend deliberately
Step by step
Stripping responsibility as I go

I am wrong
But then I lose nothing
It doesn′t hurt if you never cared at all
No more lies
We are in love with dying
When I'm gone you won't lose a thing
I am wrong
But then I lose everything
I just want the world to fall
No more light
We are in love with violence
When I die you won′t miss a thing

He who makes a beast of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man
And pays for it later
In blood
In emptiness
In the permanent absence of mercy


I am wrong
But then I lose nothing
It doesn′t hurt if you never cared at all
No more lies
We are in love with dying
When I'm gone you won′t lose a thing
I am wrong
But then I lose everything
I just want the world to fall (no no)
No more light
We are in love with violence
When I die you won't miss a thing

Empathy
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
Please forgive me

I am wrong
But then I lose nothing
It doesn′t hurt if you never cared at all
No more lies
We are in love with dying
When I'm gone you won′t lose a thing
I am wrong
But then I lose everything
I just want the world to fall
No more light
We are in love with violence
When I die you won't miss a thing
