Pilot Waves - Icarus the Owl

You left via train tracks

On a Monday soaked with rain

You didn’t stop until the mountains

We’re small rocks out of frame

What am I (x3)

Supposed to do?

You got your noose around my neck

You never want me coming back

I should have ran (x4)

After you that rainy night

Before your car went off the side

Meaningless motion

On a shallow empty frame

They pass the time

But I still picture your name

What am I (x3)

Supposed to do?

You got your noose around my neck

You never want me coming back

I should have ran (x4)

After you that rainy night

Before your car went off the side

Tell me how to

Bring you back (x2)

I’ll tell you that

I was wrong (x2)

Your face is still beautiful

With all your skin gone

Tell me this is all but delusion

The witching hour begins now

The dimples in your cheeks

Are drenched in gasoline

It’s but a small victory

For the ballad of you and me

As you’re taken away (as you’re taken away)

As your soul leaves this place

Even with your body maimed

I’ll love you the same

I’ll try to be or feign a better man

And put the sky up in your cloudy head

Take a step where the light has to go, go

How could we fail to find a steady hand?

My sun won’t rise or fall without you here

Our beach is rubble;

our lighthouse is gone

It’s gone!

(It's gone!)(x3)
