The Mad Machine - Icarus the Owl

Melancholy, melancholy life

Mouse will turn into man

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Running out of time

He’ll run as fast as he can

Please spare the children

Please don’t take their lives

One man on the fringe of greatness

Impeded by his own design

He’s disarmed from a broken promise

He’s disarmed (x2)

A little black cat ran in front of your car

A little superstition always goes too far

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Running out of time

Like a coward with no vertebrae

I find this nearest exit and attempt to flee

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Is it really victimless

If I’m the one with blood on my hands?

(Kill the mad machine, mad machine)

One too many murder dwellings

Banished to the back of my head

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Face me, I beg you, please (x2)

You’re almost seventeen (x2)

It’s not too late for me (x2)

To give up on my dreams

My dreams (x2) will be waiting

One man on the fringe of greatness

Impeded by his own design

He’s disarmed from a broken promise

He’s disarmed (x2)

Your insomnia is as fake as they come

You’re not a dark poet;

You don’t deserve to be loved

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Running out of time

Put your clothes back on

And get your legs off mine

I don’t want to grow old

And you’re a waste of my time

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Is it really victimless

If I’m the one with blood on my hands?

(Kill the mad machine, mad machine)

One too many murder dwellings

Banished to the back of my head

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Face me, I beg you, please (x2)

You’re almost seventeen (x2)

It’s not too late for me (x2)

To give up on my dreams

My dreams (x2) will be waiting

Love, it unfurls and creeps up on us (Kill the mad machine we fed.

Kill it dead)

Kill the mad machine (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead)

Kill the mad machine we fed

Kill it dead

Face me, I beg you, please (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead)

You’re almost seventeen (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead)

It’s not too late for me (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead)

To give up on my dreams (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead)

My dreams (x2) will be waiting

Kill the mad machine we fed
