Icarus Songtext
von Jared Benjamin

You sold your soul for some views on the internet
Gave your life for a half pack of cigarettes
Only going higher, climbing ever skyward
Icarus died drugged up in a diner

Darling, won′t you come into the light?
Oh, I've been calling out your name into the night
The ink-black darkness is trying to suffocate
The fire in your eyes, you can′t run for your whole life

At night you numb it, all the pain you love to hate
But it's just stalling all the debts you've yet to pay
The devil′s all in, and with a smile on his face
You′ll sign away all the red that's in your veins


You sold your soul for some views on the internet
Gave your life for a half pack of cigarettes
Only going higher, climbing ever skyward
Icarus died drugged up in a diner
Trade your friends for the fame and the followers
Spend your rent on a bender in Hollywood
Air is getting lighter, sun is getting brighter
Icarus died drugged up in a diner

Baby, you′ve been getting famous
Drugs will keep you sane 'til you wake up on the pavement
What ya gonna lose so you can entertain us?
27′s coming, and she's running out of patience

Oh no, my dear
Too worried ′bout your reputation
Crystal clear
You're drowning in your fear

You sold your soul for some views on the internet
Gave your life for a half pack of cigarettes
Only going higher, climbing ever skyward
Icarus died drugged up in a diner
Trade your friends for the fame and the followers
Spend your rent on a bender in Hollywood
Air is getting lighter, sun is getting brighter
Icarus died drugged up in a diner

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


You sold your soul for some views on the internet
Gave your life for a half pack of cigarettes
Only going higher, climbing ever skyward
Icarus died drugged up in a diner
