lyrics

MYTHMAKER

We’ve got our darkened glasses, cheap and plastic
For to stare straight at the sun
Icarus has us convinced
That he might be the chosen one

Taste for danger, fear of failure
Yeah, we dull our knives on this
Rolling rocks and talking talk
About a smiling Sisyphus

Wrap your wings around me
Pull me down against your kiss
Hear the poets cry out:
“It wasn’t supposed to end like this”

Weights and measures, wax and feathers
Yeah, it all comes down to this
Toeing edges, wondering whether
We have got ourselves convinced

Though the poets insist on making myth
Of those that dare to take a stand
Fortune favours the bold and brazen
Those that reach out for her hand

Wrap your wings around me
Pull me down against your kiss
Hear the poets cry out:
“It wasn’t supposed to end like this”

A love unanointed
A love sharp and swift
A love unbeholden to the makers of myth
A love deep and dangerous we cannot resist
No fear that our hearts will be punished for this
