Daedalus - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Haven't slept right in several days, stomach in knots (Oh, catch me now)

Sore with back pain, my wings will grow or they'll fall off (I'm still here)

I'm steering my brain, but you can still tell when I fall off

A stray cat is riding my train, my tongue is going places I'm not

And did you break mirrors to see yourself just cascade down?

Kill reflections to know what it's like to touch the ground?

I'm sorry, Icarus, I know you told me not to now

But I can't go another beat in this direction, no

When the sun sets, which beam hurts the most?

You tryna call me ugly by tryna reach above me

And I know my head's always a stepping stone

Do you go left or go right? You promised you would never bite

But I can't wait another day and stay here begging just to go back home

And I've been waiting to be crowned the king so father, help me, made it all

Stars kill me in dreams and daymares leave me all alone

I'm just a guest in this manor, can you show me the way back home?

But I can't wait another day and stay here begging just to go back home

And I've been waiting to be crowned the king so father, help me watch the throne

Stars kill me in dreams and daymares leave me all alone

I'm just a guest in this manor, can you show me the way back home?

Why does it hurt-it hurt-it hurt-it hurt?

Why-hurt-hurt-hurt-hurt

Why does it hurt-hurt-hurt?

It hurt-hurt-hurt-hurt

Starlight, starlight, ghosting in the nighttime

Car lights apologize distance and sorry satellites

Satellites just saying hi, why does it hurt to say goodbye?

And I think everything will be just fine

(Say goodnight burdensome, you scare me when you just say "Hi")

Starlight, starlight, ghosting in the nighttime

Car lights apologize distance and sorry satellites

Satellites just saying hi, why does it hurt to say goodbye?

And I think everything will be just fine

(Say goodnight burdensome, you scare me when you just say "Hi")

And I could never trust you sincerely

Oh my God, I don't think you love me

Be sure you sign your letters with tears, please

I'm just a guest in this manor, can you show me the way back home?
