Icarus The Owl Skysweeper Lyrics
Skysweeper by Icarus The Owl
[Intro]
Hypocrisy: it's all that I do
I cannot seem to part with it
You've sworn them in
They know every clue
Where there's a will
A mountain stands in its way
[Verse 1]
I'm not allowed to fly, she stopped the engine
She's not allowed to die until we're finished
You said yourself you won't give up
If you won't mind I'd like to try
You were not buried from this
You were not
[Verse 2]
I cannot seem to leave you in pieces
We cease to be the morning after
Listen in, they're pleading
To change your mind one more time
You were not buried from this
You were not
[Verse 3]
Open up your eyes
See me fall in love
And watch me feed her to the wolves
She's taken up my time
It's more precious than her warmth
It moves quicker than you want
[Pre-Chorus]
There she goes (x2)
She's strung up by her toes
You walked out on me
Listen close (The look on their faces)
(The worst of all places) Listen Close
(My heart won't stop racing)
(I can do better now)
Hear them break (No more temptation)
(However, we phrase this) All of her bones
(We can't be sated) How could this be?
(Bitter and falling out)
[Chorus]
This is falling apart
You're my unlucky star
I thought I was (x2) a millionaire
But we did not strike gold
We ended up alone
Like we were when we were young
And everything we touched turned golden
[Verse 4]
I turn the key but nothing happens
If we pretend, what's the difference?
You're leaving now but won't leave me
I caught myself just in time
You were not buried from this
You were not
[Verse 5]
Move the chair from under me
When you hear my snapping neck
We'll be free from us both
Make sure that the door is sealed
There's children underneath;
Their lungs are full of smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
There she goes (x2)
She's strung up by her toes
You walked out on me
Listen close (The look on their faces)
(The worst of all places) Listen Close
(My heart won't stop racing)
(I can do better now)
Hear them break (No more temptation)
(However, we phrase this) All of her bones
(We can't be sated) How could this be?
(Bitter and falling out)
[Chorus]
This is falling apart
You're my unlucky star
I thought I was (x2) a millionaire
But we did not strike gold
We ended up alone
Like we were when we were young
And everything we touched turned golden
[Instrumental]
[Chorus](x2)
This is falling apart
You're my unlucky star
I thought I was (x2) a millionaire
But we did not strike gold
We ended up alone
Like we were when we were young
And everything we touched turned golden
Hypocrisy: it's all that I do
I cannot seem to part with it
You've sworn them in
They know every clue
Where there's a will
A mountain stands in its way

She's not allowed to die until we're finished
You said yourself you won't give up
If you won't mind I'd like to try

[Verse 2]
I cannot seem to leave you in pieces
We cease to be the morning after

To change your mind one more time
You were not buried from this
