ICETEP - Whiskey Icarus lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] There must be a big bang at the bottom of this bottle To be gunning for the finish line so hard Taking so many shots you'd think I was at a gun range .44 magnum opus written in trails of Balvenie But entropy isn't what it used to be Emily Dickinson self destruct like my life's a movie Specifically the scene when the drunk f**'s like "enough!" And thrusts his hand up towards the sky But I have no energy left inside this palm Vietnam vet, wet behind the breath but staying calm Another attempt to circumvent life's process by Strapping wings on but they won't stay on, it's like We all wanna be on it but I'm just trynna define it (and I'm) In a pool of liquor that's solitary confinement (cause I'm) Crawling on the surface of moons when I try to fly Inching higher and higher like man when he's asking (why?) [Hook] The heavens open up And we all fall down Whiskey Icarus The heavens open up And we all fall down (x2) [Turntable scratch: Nimo the Hooligan] The bottle's gonna be the closest thing that we get to a womb [Verse 2] Scarcely savage, scary madness, sleeping self like weaving magic Flying on my Delta waves, paying for all my baggage Found my life in a junk drawer that I can't organize Maybe if I leave it there I'll end up so immortalized Drinking liquor with a touch of cyanide Staring sobriety in his face with his cyan eyes Caught inside a battle of Babylonian "ride or die" I'd better finish off this bottle so I have room to climb inside [Hook] The heavens open up And we all fall down Whiskey Icarus The heavens open up And we all fall down (x2) [Verse 3] Sharp pains settle themselves inside the membrane Waking up to pitched down speech like Don Lafontaine Water bed titling like an oceanic panic Paying dues inside the centrifuge (x2) Disregard my body while I'm playing dice with kidney stones Breaking up the party cause I'm setting all my whisky bones Maybe should've stayed at home, patiently go play alone, pay atone- Mints are gone (breath's breaking health code) Situation's copacetic (it's so synthetic) I slipped and cut myself on your shoulder blades Cleaning off my face with a bit of human conditioner Pleading with myself (nah, it's not cause you're missin' her) [Outro] The heavens open up (x3) And we all fall down
