Lyrics

I'm going grey at 23
All of the creases on my face
I lost something at 17
That I now somehow can't replace
I haven't quite felt alive
In 2200 days
I wish I could find myself
But I think he's been replaced
Icarus, I fly too close to the sun
Part of me thinks I'm better than everyone
Dionysus, drink me down like a son
Celebrate the theatre that's come undone
I swear that just a few years ago
I had life down to a tee
But now the boulder of Sisyphus
Is towering over me
It's like the moment I heal
All of my old wounds start to bleed
Oh dear brother Sisyphus
Are we destined for greed?
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
Icarus, I fly too close to the sun
Part of me thinks I'm better than everyone
Dionysus, drink me down like a son
Celebrate the theatre that's come undone
