Too Close To The Sun

I'm singed, I'm torn, I'm scorned
I'm floundering in mid-flight
Just like icarus I'm falling in the night
Like the gypsy moth attracted to the flame
Seeking the pleasure that becomes a blinding pain
It's fame or love or drugs, the stakes are all the same

I feel myself falling down
The arms of the sea are calling me now
These gypsy wings are melting one by one
Sometimes we fly too close to the Sun

You look to me like you have seen better days
I've seen those eyes before reflecting out of phase
Did your illusions shatter over time?
Did you ascend too fast, get caught in your climb?
Did you realize too late we're mortals by design?

I feel myself falling down
Angel save me I'm calling you now
These gypsy wings are melting one by one
Sometimes we fly too close to the Sun

Too close to the Sun

When you fly too high in your dreams
And put yourself to those extremes
But in real life you melt those wings

Sometimes we fly

I feel myself falling down
The arms of the sea are calling me now
These gypsy wings are melting one by one
Sometimes we fly too close to the Sun

I feel myself falling down
Angel save me I'm calling you now
These gypsy wings are melting one by one
Sometimes we fly too close to the Sun
