lyrics

I threw the things I love in a shallow grave
Locked in with pestilence and buried with my shame
Sever the feeling, sever the ties
Complacence became my final demise
Born as a God and blessed with a curse
When gold weighs you down you’ll see what it’s worth

I counted countenance and numbered all my days
I burned the bridges to the house that I had made
I built foundations; built the walls of my own fate
I forged my honour in the tempers that I frayed

I’ve got my reasons, it’s not the season to change
I’ve got my reasons, so you can leave me to my ways

Isolate

Took to the skies but I'm drowning alone in the waves

Icarus, oh Icarus,
I'd give all of this to break the threads of fate
Will I be free?
Well at least if I hang, I won’t die on my broken knees

I let my exile set me free
But I'm not a martyr
I just got lost in different seas

And while I tortured myself with isolation
I became over-encumbered with my grief
I watched the flowers fade in winter greys
til I bore these waxen wings and thorny reef
‘Cause I've been broken and beat down
For the best part of my life
So for just one second
I wanted to know what it felt like to fly

I felt divinity on hired paradise
I cut my wings and took the scalpel to my eye
I saw Elysium and golden afterlife
I bore the flood from narcissistic bleeding eyes

I’ve got my reasons, it’s not the season to change
I’ve got my reasons, so you can lead me to dismay
