Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stare at the edge
Clock says jump, heart says stay
Hands on the glass of a sky I made
Fear writes rules in my own name
Dad’s voice warning in my head
“Boy, stay low, keep safe, keep small”
But there’s a sun with my face in it
Calling my flaws, my fall, my all
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I cursed if I climb?
Am I lost if I land?
Every “what if” on my spine
Feels like shackles and brands
[Chorus]
Am I Icarus or Odysseus?
Burning out or coming home?
If I never risk, I’m meaningless
If I always risk, I’m gone
So I gamble with these wax wings
Set my course through teeth and foam
Am I Icarus or Odysseus
Or just scared to die unknown? (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Been at war with my own waves
Sirens sound like steady pay
Comfort’s just a golden cage
Polished chains, a quiet grave
Map on the wall, pins in pain
Every route marked “might regret”
Cyclops in my bathroom mirror
One clear eye on every debt
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “play it safe” prayer
Feels like rust in my veins
But every leap into the lair
Could be glory, could be shame
[Chorus]
Am I Icarus or Odysseus?
Burning out or coming home?
If I never risk, I’m meaningless
If I always risk, I’m gone
So I gamble with these wax wings
Set my course through teeth and foam
Am I Icarus or Odysseus
Or just scared to die unknown? (uh)
[Bridge]
[Strings rise, drums drop to toms]
Icarus whispers, “Let ‘em talk
They only point when you’re in the sky”
Odysseus grins, “Tie yourself tight
Some storms you outlive by staying alive”
So I lace my fear to the mast
Let the panic scream, let it thrash
I’ll climb, but count every feather
If I crash, I crash for something that matters (hey!)
[Chorus]
Am I Icarus or Odysseus?
Burning out or coming home?
If I never risk, I’m meaningless
If I always risk, I’m gone
So I gamble with these wax wings
Set my course through teeth and foam
If I make it back, I’m legendary
If I don’t, at least I flew alone
[Outro]
Soft voice: “Step or stay?”
Hard voice: “Choose your myth”
Either way the tide won’t wait
So I walk into the wind (yeah)
