lyrics

I have fallen for Icarus’ touch
On that cold broken night
He used me up

The empress's temperance tends to interrupt
The empress's temperance tends to interrupt

I am lucky
For I know how to picture the dead
In the cracks of the ceiling
And the rips in the bed
The wound becomes swollen
And starts to spread

You are slander
You are the pain in my side
That even with a lover’s kiss
Just won’t subside

When you left me the masks fell
And all the fools cried
When you left me the masks fell
And all the fools cried

Bring up the bodies, bring them to me
Break me in broad daylight
Where I can see
All the lines in your face
All the errors you’ve made
Bleed from your finger tips
As you open, open, open the cage

You are freedom
Trapped in a brown paper bag
You hold her for your sake
But your shoulders sag

You told me you were baptized
Blindfolded and gagged
You told me you were baptized
Blindfolded and gagged

I have fallen for a man who cannot see
Past the marrow of pride
Past the seething heat
His wings were what left him
Feeling incomplete
In his state he tasted godly
But sickly sweet

I am broken
Left to stagger downtown
Hushing my claims
In the drinks that will drown
All those images of Icarus
Falling down
All those images of Icarus
Falling down

Bring up his body
Bring it to me
Break me in broad daylight
Where I can see
All the lines in his face
All the errors he’s made

I bleed from my fingertips
As I open, open, open the cage
