I Rather Hurt

I am Icarus and you are the sun I keep flying closer and closer not thinking of what will come A moth to a flame I burst into ash I savor the bitter-sweet taste because I know it won't last You're like cutting 'cause I rather hurt than feel nothing You're my poison, it tastes so sweet, but its all consuming You're my Meth a 10 second high, with a life time of hurting Like a wave you pull me under I don't fight it I just hold my breath hoping it'll last 'Till my lungs burst and I welcome death
