I regret that I remembered
Please, let me keep this one
I regret that I erased you
The slow decline into madness
And in allegorizing the self-preserving amnesia
Of a broken but hopeful heart
Take my hand and run away with me
We need to run from what we used to be
And in allegorizing the self-preserving amnesia
Of a broken but hopeful heart

A broken kid with a brand new vision
Always asking, always crashing
Tumbling onwards with his mission
Hearts and love are made for crashing
Losing faith in man and nature
Crumbling under the weight of cancer
Fading fucking memories of nurture
Burning the past with her
Elbow people moving forward
Always walking upon weaker
These tired eyes are always judging
I am useless, need to use less
Nothing ever changes, it’s all the same
Damage done, it’s all a game
I step forward, you stab me
Circle downwards, it’s all black you see
A broken kid with a brand new vision
Always asking, always crashing
Tumbling onwards with his mission
Hearts and love are made for crashing
Losing faith in man and nature
Crumbling under the weight of cancer
Fading fucking memories of nurture
Burning the past with her
Elbow people moving forward
Always walking upon weaker

Give In To The Cave In

I wanna break the great machine!
Within the blackout
I heard the light
A way to rise from this year long haze
Time has come for oceans to traversed
Oil shall light the distance
Should we run from what we fear?
Or should we give in for the cave in of hearts?
I wanna break the great machine
I wanna break the great machine
Like dead spider legs towards the sky
You are monolithic
I'll die in ironic flames
I wanna it
The Great Machine
Should we run from what we fear?
Or should we give in for the cave in of hearts?
I wanna break the great machine
I wanna break the great machine

Jesus Dream

Crush my skull, fill it with rain
Forget your cause, I’ll burn anyway
I scream my curse and your name
I’ll follow you into your grave
Soon I will be gone
And you will never remember
Soon I will be gone
And we will linger on
And dogs draw pictures of haunted leaves
Throw your judgement into the debris
You live inside your Jesus dream
You see me walking this bone machine
No more need to explain
You see my back, just take aim
Your shot was free and splattered my brain
You were the judge in this game
Soon I will be gone
And you will never remember
Soon I will be gone
And we will linger on
And dogs draw pictures of haunted leaves
Throw your judgement into the debris
You live inside your Jesus dream
You see me walking this bone machine

Sherlock Icarus Gothenburg, Sweden
Sherlock Icarus was created as an outlet for naked and heavy thoughts by Alex Stjernfeldt (The Moth Gatherer, Let Them
Hang).
With shoegazing guitars, introvert soundscapes and droning vocals, the music of Sherlock Icarus builds a moody sphere to lose yourself into and provoke thoughts regarding depression, life, death and love.
