gone and gone again, lies writhing on the ground
cracked little skull, smashed brains and bones
yearned to be back home
wanted to be free
day in and day out
eyes would be searching, mind would be wand’ring
looked to the stars, looked at the sky
wanted to be high
wanted to be free
sunrise and sunshine
the light on the window pane
burning the shadows, obscuring the light
adored the stark night
wanted to be free
men and children,
their faces cracked, shalacked and shattered
with their broken eyes and swollen hearts
playing in the dark arts
wanted to be free
flying and falling through space
Daedalus has gone to the sun
his wings have melted, burned away
he wanted to be free, just for a day
he’s free now, free from his body
he’s free now, free as the air
he’s free now, free from his cares
he’s free now, free from everything
