Icarus Lyrics - Evolve - Ani Difranco

It seems like you just started noticing 

How noticeably bad things really are 

And then you walk past this couple arguing 

In a rolled up window parked car 

And all that gesticulated bitterness 

And all of that muffled yelling hell 

It's like it just starts wafting at you 

Like a big furry rat died inside of that wall kinda smell 

Bad dreams like this roll in like a cold front 

Thunderous thunder and lightning in tow 

And your tiny little life gets even smaller 

As you heed the heavens' mighty show 

And I don't mean heaven like godlike 

'Cause the animal I am knows very well 

That nature is our teacher and our mother 

And god is just another 

Story that we tell 

You're trying not to grasp 

Not to start grasping 

At straws or sticks or stones 

You're trying to learn to just sit inside your sadness 

Even if you're sitting there alone 

'Cause just like icarus ascending 

Never intending to look back 

Nature's law and your tragic flaw 

Send you flying into the arms of another Venus fly trap 

Guzzle till the buzzing stops 

Guzzle till the buzzing stops 

Guzzle till the buzzing stops
