about

The fifth track explores themes of arrogance, greed, vanity, and ambition.

Released on the day of ☿, hour of ☉.

lyrics

"Staring off into the heavens,
Grinding my teeth til bone is sand.
Feathers fall like iron nails,
Striking fire where they land.

Another Patron Saint falling from grace,
I watch while he meets his end,
Devoured by human wolves,
No blade to defend.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground.

A fist raised in defiance,
Shaking enough to crack the earth.
You're too prideful to realize,
Your misbegotten worth.

You said you wanted freedom,
So it was built for you with no way to return.
The feathers became like wicks when you crashed and burned.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground.

Your wax wings can't hold the weight of your fathers failure,
You're falling down.
And I'm not here to be your saviour,
I'm here to see you out.

You flew too close to the sun,
I saw you plummeting down,
So I dug a pit beneath you,
And put you in the ground."
