Icarus - August Burns Red

Have courage to reach for the stars

Or to grin and bear it, accept who you are

Find your place, stand your ground and dig in for the brawl

Go to war for what you have instead of searching for more

You’ll amount to nothing searching for more

Unless you’re constantly in default

We see that those who build are under assault, they’re under assault

Get lost in the grind or beaten in the race

Either way, you won’t escape without a bruise or two on your face

Can you take a deep breath without it trembling?

Can you close your eyes and feel at peace?

You will find comfort in contentment

Fulfilled in the settling

The process has defined you

The healing has made you stronger

Like an ancient home that’s cracked and been repaired

There’s no shame in knowing when your journey ends

Let stress turn into rest, your tension will relent

Calm down, let yourself begin to mend

Let yourself, let yourself begin to mend

Trying to find your place in history

Is like walking an endless road

The countless miles beneath your feet

They have only shaped who you’ll be

Without you, our creations would be lost

Without you, our visions would crumble

We must pay, pay our respects

To those who choose, choose to stay humble

Set your sights to the sun, you will get burned

This is a lesson you will learn
