take the sky (for example)
Daedalus, Demeter, Minos
Icarus, Persephone, Ariadne
You can't take the sky away from me
I'll forever fly regardless
I'll learn more than you can teach
I'll overcome the darker days
And try to live the rest
Please don't pretend I can't
Don't ever forget I'm young
I live to be confused
Confounded, dumbfounded
Daedalus, Hades, Prometheus, Theseus
Icarus, Persephone, Pandora, Ariadne
They all cry
Don't you dare
Try to take my sky away from me
Poor Icarus perhaps
Should have heeded
His father's words of waves
And harmful heat
For he skimmed the salt spray
And rose through the air
As he flew toward his beacon
Daedalus was forced to watch
As the sun snatched those crafted wings
Forged from feather, wax and fear
And freedom hopes
And plunged his son with fateful hand
Down into the boiling sea
Icarus, Amelia, Amy
You lost your sky
You lost your lives
You know the water cannot keep you
Neither can the ground lay claim
To Ariadne
Nor could the dead river and snow
Trap Persephone
Never could a simple lock upon a box
Lay waste to Pandora's
Fruitful curiosity
