I, Carrion (Icarian)

If the wind turns

If I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

I feel lighter than I have in so much time

I've crossed the borderline of weightless

One deep breath out from the sky

I've reached a rarer height now, that I can confirm

All our weight is just a burden

Offered to us by the world

And though I burn

How could I fall

When I am lifted by every word you say to me?

If anything could fall at all

It's the world that falls away from me

You have me floating like a feather on the sea

While you're as heavy as the world

That you hold your hands beneath

Once, I wondered what was holding up the ground

But I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down

Leave it now

I am sky-bound

If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me

We'll float away

But if we fall

I only pray

Don't fall away from me

I do not have wings, love, I never will

Soaring over a world you are carrying

If these heights should bring my fall

Let me be your own

Icarian carrion

If the wind turns

If I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

If I should fall on that day

I only pray

Don't fall away from me
