Wings of Wax

You flew me to the sun with wings of wax
And my flight back was not as pleasant as I thought it would be
The earth was keen to hold me in her arms again
As I lay silent in my broken dream
I know I never did confess to you my longing for redemption
No, I never did let you see in past my skin
I know I never did let you into that place that I keep hidden
But that’s alright, you weren’t worthy in the end
I welcomed in the wolf with sheep skin on his back
You had blood on your hands, but I only ever noticed the lamb
Then you flew away free as a bird
While I lay drowning in your poison words
I know I never did confess to you my longing for redemption
No, I never did let you see in past my skin
I know I never did let you into that place that I keep hidden
But that’s alright, you weren’t worthy in the end
Oh my Romeo, you’d have never laid your life down
You’d’ve seen lying there, and then slowly backed away
And in irony I’d wake up to my happy ending
With the man who wasn’t bold enough to stay
