You are the Sun, I am Icarus,
I'd burn to ashes trying to get close to you,
I'd lose myself before I'd lose you.
You are the fruit, I am the snake,
I'd tell others to sin for you because I'd do the same,
I'd turn my back to the gods and challenge them in your name.
You are the monarch, I am the knight,
I'd heed your orders to kill,
I'd honour you with a kneel.
You are yellow, I am Van Gogh,
I'd make you my muse and owe it all to you,
I'd make paintings of you to hide the blue.
You are life giving false hope to the dead,
I am the fool that believes you.
