Adalinda - Icarus the Owl

You know it is true, you know it is true

I can’t take my god damned eyes off of you

But we’ve gone and ruined it

And all I can do is keep on loving you

I can’t keep my filthy paws off of you

Our act is scripted and never finished

I’ve gone asea without food I can eat

The boat is old and the panels are weak

The tidal wave is imminent and I am sure to sink

I miss you like this ocean that’s crushing me

Before they got through it was just me and you

Two stargazers with nothing to do

The fence would crumble;

you’d be gone by nightfall

I am not strong or brave enough

To withstand hell that comes with love

We should never have started this

So much for forgiveness

We’ve crossed the line with our heads hung high

We’ve taken ourselves to our dusty homes

Our keepsakes are freeways

Dance along to our battle song;

the only place that you belong

Share your bed with another man;

a better man who will miss you, too

I cannot be wrong if I choose.

The one I adore is fleeting

I may not be calm but I know the more I let go, it’s freeing
