Lyrics Feathers & Wax - Datarock

Am I allowed here? Am I allowed to go anywhere?
Feel like a shadow in the cave, am I a doll or a puppeteer?
And where is my mind? Where am I on the divided line?
Or in the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind

Don't want any ol' blindfold
Don't wanna be controlled
Don't want any old fool's gold
Who would ever wanna be
Pigeonholed?

You're allowed here, you're allowed to go anywhere
Feel like you're a shape on the wall, you're not a doll or a puppeteer
And why is your mind on the ancient divided line?
Or on the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind

'Cause I don't want any ol' blindfold
Don't wanna be controlled
Don't want any old fool's gold
And I don't ever wanna be
Stuck in the dark, blind to my reality
Who would ever wanna be
Out of luck in the trench of a post-truth society?
A stone throw, let's go

I don't wanna stay here
Anybody else care
To come with me on a flight close to the sun?
Like Icarus' Daedalus
Father your own failures
Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run
I don't wanna stay here
Wouldn't anybody else here care
To come with me on a flight close to the sun?
Just like Icarus' Daedalus
You gotta father your own failures
Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

Go find yourself now
Find your own shelf now
Go find yourself now
Find your own shelf now

Don't want any ol' blindfold
Don't wanna be controlled
Don't want any old fool's gold
Who would ever wanna be
Pigeonholed?

I don't wanna stay here
Wouldn't anybody else here care
To come with me on a flight close to the sun?
Just like Icarus' Daedalus
You gotta father your own failures
Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run
To be the pride of a nation
Gotta further your education
'Cause you don't wanna be told how to be bold
Just like Icarus' Daedalus
You gotta father your own failures
Wax them feathers, tonight, we're on the run

Or in the analogy of the sun, illumination of any kind
