Icarus
Lilac Boy Lyrics

Black tar pit of my insides
My emotions are dark and heavy, like a tar pit inside of me.

By the shore by your design
I am where I am by your doing.

Carmine-colored dusty hair
Your hair is a deep red color, like dried blood, and full of dust.

Spots of stress beyond repair
I have so much stress in my life that it's become too much for me to handle.

Driving in a clown car bus
I feel like I'm on a ridiculous journey, surrounded by chaos.

Hands they shake, I'm busted up
My hands are shaking and I'm falling apart.

Dopamine of my demise
The pleasure I feel is contributing to my own downfall.

Over the edge and to the skies
I am pushing the limits and reaching new heights.

I'm screaming to the sun
I am expressing my desperation and pain.

I'm burning up and up
I am consumed by my intense emotions and feelings.

Matching shoes with my thoughts and
My thoughts and my appearance are in sync with one another.

Clipped off pieces of my skin
I am shedding little pieces of myself because of the pain I'm feeling.

Burn mark twister-headed fool
I'm acting foolishly despite the pain that it's causing me.

Fell asleep at night and drooled
I am exhausted and my body is shutting down.

Zero-minded matchbox boy
I am feeling numb and empty inside.

Train track built inside with joy
I'm trying to hold onto the few things that make me happy.

Fills his legs with many holes
I am hurting myself physically, trying to get rid of the pain I am feeling mentally.

Shoves his feet onto the coals
I am willingly subjecting myself to more pain and suffering.

Roses pierces his heart, its stripes
My heart is full of pain and hurt, much like the thorns of a rose.

Brainless zombie archetype
I'm acting like a mindless zombie, without any direction or purpose.

Drain him out into a bowl
I am feeling drained and exhausted, like all the life has been sucked out of me.

Goldfish-eyeballed drowning soul
I have lost my sense of self and am drowning in my own despair.

Orange-pupiled burning man
Everything around me is burning, and I am being consumed by the flames.

Should have brought his burning hand
I should have been aware of the danger that I was getting myself into.

Tuned to fall, an afterthought
I was doomed to fall from the beginning, and nobody was thinking about the consequences.

Maybe shouldn't burn at all
Perhaps it would have been better not to take action and simply let things be.
