Icarus The Owl - Chemicals and Flesh lyrics

I understand that a baby left alone might not survive But you know better You're just cowardice, dishonest, abominable We let our baby die [Refrain:] You pleaded and begged Me to let the Earth be flat to disregard Galileo Just look up at the sky and pretend the stars are cold and that no one would ever know if you took one down tonight Did you think we'd make it this far? Did you think you wouldn't get caught? I'm in an event horizon - not even light can escape it's grip Now astronauts can't orbit endlessly At least I've got our memories I've got our memories to laugh at [Pre-Chorus:] Now that you've tied me in knots Thinking I'm someone I'm not The truth is a much scarier thought When I'm with you all of my hope lost [Chorus:] It's exactly what I thought it would be until you changed me I thought for a moment we were more than chemicals and flesh You told me to believe in fairy tales - that objects fall to the earth At different speeds, because our hearts beat faster than them all You told me that the wind in our faces was God just cooling us down - giving us some air I can't picture your face or I'd turn to stone Medusa, you mythical, mind tricking gorgon [Refrain] Did you think we'd make it this far? Did you think you wouldn't get caught? I'm in an event horizon - not even light can escape it's grip Now astronauts can't orbit endlessly At least I've got our memories I've got our memories to laugh at [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] You got away with murder by moving me What you get isn't always what you seek [Chorus] Agreeing to be naive is the same as falling in love We all cheat and we all take things that are not ours Taken from me was my dignity and a chance at breaking your heart Lastly, you are lucky enough to have entered my world Woah! Oh Oh Oh Woah! Oh Oh Oh
