James Jefferys - Dædalus

If you want to know hubris,
Talk to father because these walls around you
Are his own doing –
The reason why you’re in here with him

Tread on toes of the Gods
Try too hard to learn too much
Here’s a maze
Even you couldn’t escape
Secrets that you just couldn’t keep
Learning what you’ll have to give

You gave your son
When he wasn’t yours to give
Fluttered downward like a leaf
In the daytime heat

Feathers drifting on the sea
This could only mean one thing
Float along
… the line is gone
… the line is gone

Falling isn’t hard to do
But landing straight and landing true

… our line is gone
… our line is gone
What I’d give to kiss your head just once…

You gave your son
When he wasn’t yours to give
Fluttered downward like a leaf
In the daytime sun

If you want to know hubris,
Talk to father because these walls around you
Are his own doing –
The reason why you’re in here with him
