That Kid, Icarus

[Intro] Hey yo, feels so good to be up here in the sky It's like i gotta put my shades on; it's so bright Sun shining, you know what i'm saying? But like, you've done so many shows Been to so many places People know your name online And what's it feel like to be on top? Well it kinda feels like this [Hook] Yo, they said i flew a little close to the sun But that's the way we try to live until the living is done Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky You know i shine so bright (i shine so bright) Yo, they said i flew a little close to the sun But that's the way you try to live until the living is done Make me wings that'll fly straight up to the sky You know we shine so bright (i shine so bright) [Verse 1] I used to stare at the sun til my eyes they hurt Used to dig my feet in with the sweat on my shirt Cause i knew my place in this life on earth was Worth so much more than the worms and the dirt So the arts and crafts and with my hands they pass That elmer's glue in a flask and the feathers attached And the cliff maybe you can sort of call it a plateau I looked over the edge and said "I might as well go" Now the people are like ants marching in the street I can see where the lands parts and rivers they meet And the air that i breathe standing cold And the birds are my friends though i shiver alone When the clouds they pass and all the winds they gas[?] And so i make my way past All the shadows and bastards You know they say, when it rains it pours Well, sometimes you just gotta fly When the sun shine [Hook] [Verse 2] And for that one solid second i knew Blue skies had proved A better place than my desk at school And my desk at my job Where i fought with the boss who just Didn't appreciate the things that i do Cause i swing and i sway and i barrel roll And i make my way up without caring though And i break the clouds so the sun made me sweat And my wings they flex until the second they get Situated cause the horizon looks different from The other side; feeling like i'm floating And flying it kinda took a while To feel the wax as it melted on the skin And i felt that feeling within With the fear and the hope That the air that i breathe Could keep me off my feet As i fell to the street I'm the kid that dreamed And one day took flight And i shine so bright (i shine so bright) [Hook] [Verse 3] Yeah, how long's it gonna last right? They said i flew a little close to the sun And so i'm falling faster than i ever wanted to run Take these wings, give me a second chance Cause i shine so bright but i knew it wouldn't last And with time passed Straight down i go Can't fly fast enough and i know and i know yo [Hook]
