lyrics

flying too close to the sun
taking the subway with all of my gear
it hurts my shoulders and arms
and i’m getting so tired of gritting my teeth
just woke up from a bad dream
where i couldn’t even spell my own name
i felt so fucking ashamed
i think i’m flying too close to the sun

flying too close to the sun
i get so anxious that i can’t even sleep
take a pill to knock me out
and i wake up with my head spinning
drink coffee to set me straight
how many times will i do this through the years?
already feels insincere
i guess i’m flying too close to the sun

and the people tell me “people suck,
that’s just who they are”
none of them important,
all of them at once
the people
are not people
they’re just measuring up
to the demons in my head that keep
telling me to run

flying to close to the sun
asking myself if this is what i really want?
what i want is so fucked
it’s no wonder i don’t get a response
never get out of the city
oh i barely ever go on a break
there’s just too much on my plate
and i’m flying to close to the sun
