I am more than a god
I’m an asshole and lover too
I’m bored of your fucking prayers
Are you so scared of taking control?
Come on! Let go!
I’m not your savior
Come on! Let’s go
I’m just a ghost in your mind
Fuck God!
See this book? A book of lies
Please take it and throw it in the fire
A lie to control
Escape the fucking herd
Come on! Let go!
I’m not your savior
Come on! Let’s go
I’m just a ghost in your mind
Fuck God!
You look towards the sky
Like I am some sort of answer
Well, I gave you sin, I gave you locust, gave you plague
Maybe I'm not the good guy, the one you need
Come on! Let go!
I’m not your savior
Come on! Let’s go
I’m just a ghost in your mind
Fuck God!

The sky is a massive canvas
On which you paint with rain
Your beauty transcends dimensions
Through the grey you shine like a beacon
Guiding the pieces of my heart
To the serenity of your healing hands
With just a spark you created wildfire
A place for us to feel safe
The sky is cracked open with a roar
And with the rain you descend
A godess of light illuminates my darkness
And calms the waves of chaos I have within
An act of balance on a narrow ledge
Blinding lights illuminates the world
Where we we’re at there are no ropes
Arms entwined to keep each other safe
Like a rolling storm she swept into my life
In the eye I came home
If I blink for just a second, she could be gone like rain
Leaving me with ears still ringing
In your hands you hold the path to the celestial plane
Each time we embrace each other we traverse
Knowing the fire we tread gently on these hearts
The sky is cracked open with a roar
And with the rain you descend
A godess of light illuminates my darkness
And calms the waves of chaos I have within

Who are you?
And how can we be the same?
So strange
From concrete to the sea
Hear my heart beat
Like soulmates in the sky
So fast
These brakes are broken
It’s a fear
To release the butterflies
So scared
We know that this might hurt
Destroy the cage
Let the swarm into the hearts
Feel the blood
Like embers burning with love
Synergies with words
On glowing screens
Our souls, our souls resonates
We need to take this leap
We’re in this fall together
I'm falling

Angry At The Sun

I keep staring at the sun
I wonder what’s wrong with it
It has a cancerous caress
And it makes us blind
A flickering light in the sky
I want to climb up there and bring it down
Shut it out
I’m angry at the sun
A fucking wreck undone
The sphere of fire above me stares
Psychic warfare with my mind
It sheds light on places in my soul
I don’t want to be seen
I want to crawl back down
Into the shadows I know
They haunt me, they hurt me
But it is a pain that I’m used to
I’m angry at the sun
A fucking wreck undone
It brings light to things I want to forget
It shows the reasons I run

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.
