Falling in love is Icarian

Too close too fast

You get burned

You fall down, down, down

Shaking off the dirt

Wondering what you were thinking

Never associating it with the truth

Absorbing all the blame

Consuming all the pain

Trying to focus on the good

Sucking on the dregs of a suicidal love life

Lies bleed from your ears

Emptying out everything that once was good and true

Dusting off the defensiveness

Cracking open your heart’s firewall once again

Trying to trust that one will be right

Because closing off

Ejecting the disk

Throwing away the file

Isn’t living

Always on the run from love

Becausing caring for someone is like holding onto a ledge

Either you pull each other up

Or you let it die
