(2006 - 2008)
Icarus formed in the latter part of spring of 2006. With their new, unique sounds, they delivered an incredible punch to the wave of new music. Based in Lebanon, Tennessee, Icarus had a few recordings, countless shows, and several pictures. Band members included:
-Kevin Hurt: Bass
-Andrew Kelley: Guitar/Vocals
-Marshall Taylor: Drums
"We have recorded these two songs in Marshall's bonus room. Sorry for the quality. Vocals will be added shortly. There has been a few complication to slow us down, but nothing to stop us."
"We take our time with our music because we see no point in rushing our thoughts and feelings. I hope you all will give us a chance and see what we have to offer to the music scene. We'll keep you posted..."
"Alright, gang. We are ready to hit the streets and show everyone what we've been working on. Please help us book shows. If you are unable to help us booking, please attend shows as often as possible and help with some support. Please contact us with any kind of booking information."

It's a lifestyle. It's your way of living.
Is it worthwhile freely giving?
There's tarnish on my thoughts;
You're no longer scared of getting caught.
Through gossip and stares of strangers' eyes;
Is that how I learn of the truth in your lies?
"It's alright. I'll be home a little late."
No, you find delight in company between thighs.
Under what skies could you find a more pleasureable soulmate?
Will a drink or two impair your judgement or
Will this situation turn my stomache?
(A satirical remark or a few poetic jeers)
Cheers to a night free from fears.
A toast to the host who can swallow the most.
They all have 'love.' They all seem sincere.
"I can't seem to see why it's so wrong to please."
It's clear to see through open knees...
This bond has collapsed
No use to keep intact
There's proof and too much fact
Attractions contracted on bias beliefs,
I need closure or atleast some relief.
What more could implore you to stop this antic?
Why condone what you've shown to be far less romantic?
Introduce your excuse; I'm all ears.
Stand accused. I'm less than amused
Abused and misused. "How could I refuse?"

With truth, brings ruthless conditions.
The upperhand demands a petition.
Caught off gaurd and scarred in repetition
For the things they've done to you,
They've begun to use power in the negative position.
"I'm the best for the job." Never too static.
Stop and compare:
Declare your fellings in dispair.
Spare the rod and spoil our cares;
Beware! They're here to foil our affairs.
Plot to rebel if you dare...
One sided, narrow minded, neutral 'till the end,
You've provided and decided all of our ideas to condescend.
Pawns are dependable you fail to apprehend;
They aren't expendable as you intend to pretend.
Eavesdropped and listened, Scouts have gathered
From midnight meetings with officials you've flattered.
Give us back our freedoms and solutions;
We'll hand over our reasons for revolution.
A resolution for tangible retribution:
There's no need for self execution.
[Still being written...]

This is kind of a project for me. This is nowhere near finished. I've got plenty more to add and change as I please. But here's enough for now. Go on; indulge...
The Clock Maker's made more Time for us
But it's too late now; Prompt or Punctual
The Harlets have made new Love for us
But it's no good now; now it's sexual
The Banker's made Change for us
But it's no use now; we'll never change
The Influence has made us
It's our fault now; isn't that strange some how?
This separation between "House" and "Hold",
Ciphering your letters, and slurring your speech;
It's getting old.
Your persuation couldn't reach
So I've been told.
Speaking with both hands;
Is this more than you can understand?
I can no longer read your Lips;
I cannot legibly see.
Please hold your Tougue and your Tips;
They mean nothing to me.
You found you've lost your way,
And saw there's not much to find
On the path that does not stray,
Of which all things have centered
In Heart, Soul, Body, and Mind.
Your Judgement's done more than splintered.
Be Guilt; Be Innoscent
Be Truth; Be Lies
Be Anything the Soul can comprise...
