Icarus

[intro] I'm not as happy As it seems Something is nagging Silently [Verse] It tends to vary From day to day And sends me staring To hide the way I'm often preparing To endure more pain I'm left with a clarity I just can't explain It seems we're collectively Dancing on a stage Figurines decoratively And carefully arranged It's strange To think that life's a play But the evidence remains People live stories every day [Build] [Verse 2] So of course I pocket the flames And then I force Myself to act okay I bare remorse And it shows today In the words I choose not to say I move towards Living life a better way But there's this chorus That's set on replay It silently lurks While I work all day And I hide how I hurt We all have our part to play [Bridge] I often have to wonder Will I ever see the plot arc Or am I waiting for a Happy ending [Chorus] If life's a play What am I getting wrong Why am I stuck in place When so many others Are so far along Is it my fate To live inside my own sad song Why can't I sing with grace When so many others Can sing proud and strong Do I have a happy page Or have I missed it all along Why can't I find a trace When so many others Seem to know where they belong [Instrumental][Emotional Finish] [End]
