Recorded at Emeline Recordings, Whitstable by Ian Sadler in May 2012

lyrics

We all paint using the same brush
But what we create is what defines us
If you burn out then you'll become dust
Don't fly to high towards the sun you'll be Icarus

Verse 1

I don't know what I'm supposed to be what I'm supposed to feel
Am I a big fat nothing am I nil
If I make it to the top can excess kill
Will I overdose on the success pill
If you move so fast what happens when you stand still
Where do you go once you've reached the top of the hill
You come tumbling back down to earth again
You don't have to dry up if you've made it through the rain
And again I'm right back to square one
Turns out square two weren't all that fun
I rejected the call when success rung
I covered my ears when success sung

Hook

We all paint using the same brush
But what we create is what defines us
If you burn out then you'll become dust
Don't fly to high towards the sun you'll be Icarus

Verse 2

Let them think that you're just another geeza
The critics didn't believe in Michaelangelo either
The ghosts of the past will teach you Ebonezar
But you can teach these dogs still you're Ceasar
You can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Watch me pick up the mic and teach an old man to sit
Nobody's supposed to like their boss
The bible says they nailed the son of god to a cross
You need your sun close to keep you warm through the day
The coldest planet is the furthest away
But not too close the heat stings
You'll start to melt away like Icarus' wings
No longer will you be capable of flight
But for one moment you set the sky alight

Hook

We all paint using the same brush
But what we create is what defines us
If you burn out then you'll become dust
Don't fly to high towards the sun you'll be Icarus
You'll be Icarus
You'll be Icarus
You'll be Icarus
You'll be Icarus

Break down

You've got that look of god in your eye
And when you smile it personifies
You've got that look of god in your eye
And when you smile it personifies
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on
(PAINT)

Hook
We all paint using the same brush
But what we create is what defines us
If you burn out then you'll become dust
Don't fly to high towards the sun you'll be Icarus
