Daedalus, My Father - William Fitzsimmons

Where am I to run

When it’s colder than its

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

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

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

So I fill up my life

With every broken thing

But I come back to you

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing

The one who makes me sing…
