How To Make A Mask

"Like Icarus with his fragile wings,
I flew into the sky,
Higher and higher with your every word,
A puppet on your strings,
I spread my wings,
Anything to claim your love.

I flew, I flew, I flew and I flew,
Just for you.

I flew, I flew, I flew and I flew,
Only to wake up in the ocean's embrace,
Without you."
