Icarus The Owl – Failed Transmissions lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me (x2) do you want me?
Cause I don't think you do
Do you want what they have
As debris fills up their lungs

[Chorus 1]
We're on a mission of failed transmissions
We cannot wake them up
The earth is crumbling
But their world is perfect
In ways we'll never know
Let them sleep, let them be
Fill their mouths with kerosene
Made of wax, near a flame
Damn it son, we should have stayed

[Post-Chorus](x4)
We should have stayed

[Verse 2]
Echo can you hear my signal
Cause I don't think you do
They're living in a coma
As debris fills up their lungs

[Chorus 1]
We're on a mission of failed transmissions
We cannot wake them up
The earth is crumbling
But their world is perfect
In ways we'll never know
Let them sleep, let them be
Fill their mouths with kerosene
Made of wax, near a flame
Damn it son, we should have stayed

[Bridge]
We won't be breaking up
We'll just be burning up
We'll slowly deconstruct
But never turn on love
And when the world has turned
Just hold in your last breath
And save it until I have come to rescue you

[Chorus 2]
We're on a mission
We cannot wake them up (x2)
Let them sleep, let them be
Fill their mouths with kerosene
Made of wax, near a flame
Damn it son, we should have stayed

[Outro](x8)
We should have stayed
