about

first single off upcoming 13-track LP "EGGBEATER JESUS".
this song is about a friend taken by heroin, my struggle with it, and the fleeting nature of life as related to the greek myth of icarus.
thank you, we love you all.

lyrics

icarus,
falls from bliss.
wings of wax were melting,
now your day is done.
icarus,
falls from bliss.
wings of wax were melting,
now your song's been sung.
"you flew too high!" she screams, she shouts.
"you let your insides all fall out!"
"you taunted a merciless sun!"
"and now your final song's been sung."
as you fell towards the sea,
it could be you, it could be me.
as we're closing on the end,
you were a brother, son, somebody's friend.
