Icarus

Trapped here
Within a virtual
Holding cell
Kept from
Anything
That might allow
Me to grow
Held back
Indefinitely
Seemingly
Never to be
I dared to dream
And now I must
Suffer for my fantasies
Like Icarus before me
I tried to reach too high
And the fall
Crushed the body
And the spirit

I looked ahead
And beyond
I dreamt of things
Above my standing
Like Icarus before me
I tried to reach too high
And the fall
Crushed the body
And the spirit too

(Crushed
From the fall
Crushed
From the fall
The fall...)
