Braid Wax Wings Lyrics

Wax Wings Lyrics

wax wings



on mine fearful flier



unalarmed in gravity's charm



and starter motors hum



ballads of ballasts



am i reaching?



wax wins i surrender







and this makeshift design



will ground me



and without the air's arms



around me



i'll surrender the sky



to your dumb machine











wax wings 



prepare for takeoff



with the engine beneath the ribs



and the wind sings



ballads of balance



can you hear me?



wax wins i surrender











and i know that icarus



loves me



and there are no stars



above me



i melt into the sun
