Lean back, I bend my legs and swing up to the stars,
Dream of flying up to the moon, waving hello to Mars,
Higher and higher, I’m a human and I’m a liar,
My thoughts tapped through a wire, look at me go higher.
I’m six again, without the pain, of people treading on me,
I wear my shame, but not today, I’m weightless now I’m nothing.
Eyes shut, I’m floating, and I’m drifting through this haze,
It’s like my life is on a timer and I’m just counting down the days.

I am Icarus falling; with the sun melting my wings,
I was your favourite puppet ‘til I snapped off all my strings.
It’s late now at the play park as I blank my mind from you,
Can you see me fly? My darling I, am empty through and through.
