THE ICARUS LINE LYRICS

1. Love Is Happiness

Oh my god, you are so gone. Your breath smells like Nyquil.
Where the hell were you all fucking night.
When this jealousy gets the best of me, babe you know I live for you.
I'm so sick. I'm so sick of being here.
All the pain that wells and swells and stings me.
Pain's the only real thing you bring me.
If you keep this up, I'll keep it in.
I still feel like I'm paying for our sins and you don't care about shit...
SHE BLEEDS WHEN SHE GETS DRUNK!
SHE BLEEDS WHEN SHE GETS DRUNK!
Fierce Drinker:
I'd rather give your slutty sister three of my best
Than listen to you talk yourself in stupid circles.
I'm so sick. So let's draw the shades.
Could you dim the lights?
Spinning: music, party, drinking wine.
Just cry the biggest lies you can't tell. You can't tell.
(Have you found the thing you love? Because...)
All the fucking time you know it takes you
And all the fucking time it breaks you.
This is for every fucking thing that I don't know.
Pouring it on so thick makes you live so slow.
This love is the best.

2. You Make Me Nervous

Don't ever change. Why do we always have to meet here?
Best friends till the end. Through the thickest of the thin. I want answers.
Down here where the air seems so thin, almost like living undercover.
Wouldn't want to wake this creature. Don't wake the creature in its slumber.
I want some answers. We both know I can't save you from yourself.
So just tell me everything's all right.
Probably give you my left one, you've got my right one too.
Taking suggestions on how we'll make it out of this.
What the fuck are we gonna do? I need answers right now. (Just in case.)
Why don't you break from yourself?
From this hell you alone created, self devastated.
He said, "Ok come over, just come over."
If the best things are free, why do you take more than you need?
Success through sabotage. You taste sweet all the time. And so it goes...

3. L.O.S.T.

Depressed by the smiles, all the phonies, and the fakes.
Depressed because everything's so far away.
Depressed by every sound this fucking machine makes.
Depressed by the sky's color, gray today.
(Is it too late to tell you I meant every word of what I said? I'm always dead.)
Capsized by the hostile climate that I'm in.
Capsized by the swarms of nothingness.
Capsized by waves of loneliness and still regretting.
Capsized into the sea of endless selfish distress.
Bottoms up to bottom out in the middle of nowhere.
(I kind of knew it would come to this, when you've got a problem, you've got a fucking problem.)
We suck on every play. Just spoiled teens. Don't give a fuck ‘cos I'll pay my way.
I'm letting this slip out of control. I'm letting it slip.
Tonight I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. Paint a picture of it all perfect and blue.
Hey lady, I'm sorry for everything I've done for you and I'm sorry...
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
(Try to be mean. Try to be...)

4. Enemies In High Places

They want to turn on you and it's so fucking boring.
Didn't suck the right piss, couldn't stomach the smell.
Wouldn't bear the burden of being everyone's friend
Cos everyone is going to hell.
Oh well. Begging at your feet. Duplicate your best moves.
Globally Funded rich sex embassies. It's all just given to you.
Didn't shake the right hands of the mans. Wouldn't drape the right clothes.
You say you live in the fast lane of liars
But narcissism never looked so good on you.
Obsessions new treat. Impersonate your best moves.
Smells like carbon copy. Still do it better than you do.
And you know it's true. So I'm the fucking fake?
Hey firewater, drink me down so smooth, exploding in the veins.
So vulnerable but acting so cool, what really motivates you?
Kiss them slowly like pro, this kiss erases everything they know.
All the values held in your heart so dear are suddenly nowhere near.
All you can do is DANCE DANCE DANCE!
My enemies hate me so much it becomes a subliminal love affair.
Follow you? I'll never follow you.

5. In Lieu

This ain't Passover or nothing but I can feel that my time is here.
My failings are adding up again, my fever's burning up again.
It pulls you under ground. Remember what it used to be like?
When we all led lonely lives. It's terror that keeps us all in line.
Still we're running towards nothing; don't you know it never works out right?
The soul slowly fades away and nothing seems the same anymore since you left through that door.
Feel so unperfect even though you're perfect. Don't you know that I'd give it all up for you?
Still you're waiting for nothing.
She: Please do that thing you wanted me to do.
He: Where's that person I met when I met you?

6. Feed A Cat To Your Cobra

Taking her back to your room, you start to wrestle, never pushing it over the line.
Snake in the grass feels every tender muscle. Assures you she's doing fine.
Safe in body, safe in mind. Struggle. Bite. Kiss.
Bite the tip of her tiny tongue. Now her little heart's about to explode.
You never know what hit you, smelling now on your lymph node.
Safe in body, safe in mind.
Let me know if you can breathe, I'll push the pillow down.
Like so many before you, you can't see why we keep you around.
Dwell in the heart of negativity but not so deep you drown.
Join a lonely line of angels that wear that famous frown.
Faceless fool.
You never want to be much closer to me.
Baby believe me, this is as close as you want to be.

7. Oh Faithless

Clutch to anything that might hold me down, when there's no final push and shove we'll all see you underground.
This is all we work for? Because this is all I see. No magic. No happy ending.
Only false dreams. You keep saying I'll find some faith. Who's been looking.
Try and tell me it's not all for sale. Where did all your money go?
I have to ask myself. To you the end seems so far away but there's knocking on the door.
So fall in love with your fairytales if it helps you fall asleep.
I'd never wish onto you, my haunted dreams. I might be late for my own funeral,
But I want to know who is filling your head with this shit that binds you.
It be bleeds through. Until you do, whatever it is they want you to.
Oh faithless. Where have I failed you. Oh faithless.

8. Please Fire Me

Please fire me. Burn up all my stubs. So what? That tattoo ruined you.
In liars club. Never love. Kill the light. This is my last fucking day.
Dead inside. Never lie. Medicate. Sleep.

9. Keep Your Eyes Peeled

When you are waking up late and you don't feel right in your own skin.
Reflections that hurt you. It lets the darkness come crashing in.
Keep your eyes peeled for any sign of life. Still waking up late.
Even full moons seem so dim. Sleep alone again tonight.
Reflection wouldn't show this mess you're in. (Can't fucking sleep.)
Computer's going to shed some light tonight. Snow bright eye burn and headache high.
Up all night looking and still no first kiss. It grabs the synapse: Smokers' delight.
It's not right. No, this can't be right and I don't think I like the signs.
Breath for you. After all I've heard about you, what do you expect me to do?
This paradise always seems to be old boards and fucking nails. Just passing the time.
It's sad but sometimes I picture you passing away. Bringing you down. Dragging us down.
What's left for us to hold on to?

10. Best Two Out Of Three

Liars and little boys playing big games.
All this shit is pointless in the scheme of things.
To remain unscathed I will play the game.
So circle like little serpents. Eyes so red their envy churns.
My world will end just like yours so don't get off that pedestal just yet.
Up there you're an easier target with that ego glowing bright.
Nobody wants to see through your neatly cut hair.
Keep on saying, "When I was your age", despair wasn't there.
You keep taking it back from all us underneath.

11. Rape Of The Holy Mother

To expose your ass on paper:
terrifies some
and
it should:
The more you put down
the more you leave yourself
open
to those who label themselves
"critics."
They are offended by the outright
antics of the
maddened.
They prefer their poesy to be
secretive
soft and
nearly
indecipherable.
Their game has remained
unmolested for
centuries.
It has been the temple of
the snobs and the
fakers.
To disrupt this sanctuary
is to them
like the Rape of the Holy Mother.

12. SPMC

Tonight is for you, every night belongs to you tonight. Confidants worldwide.
You were so alive. Collapsed under vice. Collapsed under everything.
Never see you around. Never see you around here. See you around.
You were so fucking alive. Early morning advice calls and those late night hotel walls.
We'll all miss you. We know all of our friends steal secrets in their sleep.
Sometimes we've almost lost our minds. Lost again. Please show me the way out of here.
