Icarus Lyrics by Texican

2003

2022

[Verse 1]
Fly too close to the sun
Texas boy don't know what he done
Especially when family thought he's the chosen one
Now he gotta tell his folks that he be down on his luck
Fuck it
Thoughts race through his mind as he lay in his bed
Paranoia's gone to his head
While dreaming things of life he wishes to live now
Hopefully the boy can get out of his misery, yeah

[Chorus]
I've been slipping in the water
(I've been slipping to the water)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too closе)
And now I'm drowning

I've been slipping in the water
(I'vе been slipping to the water)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
And now I'm drowning

[Verse 2]
It took me long enough to find out
After fucking around for 20 years I finally found a way out
My whole family upset with the route I'm taking, dangerous, swerving, I ain't even scared cause I know it's gonna help out
What do they know about music and lyrics anyways
Professionally speaking I put it out without the editing
The looks can be deceiving, the hope of money makes me greedy, but the
Cliff is appearing closer to the road that I'm taking
Are you willing to risk everything for a dream?
Are you willing to risk everything for a dream?
Lemme say it again because I don't think you got it down
Are you willing to risk everything for a dream?
Fly too far and you'll fall fore you know it
Fly too high and you'll die fore you know it
I didn't think I was flying too high or too far until I made Sandia and it was time to get goin
I thought I'd have an album or two out by now
I'd thought I'd still be studying in school right now
The only thing I can see now in my vision
The line between worlds is fading out

[Chorus]
I've been slipping in the water
(I've been slipping to the water)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
And now I'm drowning

I've been slipping in the water
(I've been slipping to the water)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
Been flying too close to the sun
(Been flying too close)
And now I'm drowning
