When I rise from the ashes

just a box of matches

With flames on my lashes

Thingsll be better

no more scars no more gashes

Flying along while somebody bashes

Everything I’ve said

Everything I’ve done

But I’ve won

Haven’t I?

That’s just it

They’re full of shit

And isn’t it

Funny how even now

Clear skies can quickly turn gray

Filling me, meeting my dismay

memories of the past in my way

Of the days when I had no say

Pulled apart day by day

but that’s gotta be over

You have to die to be reborn

Live with things you’ve always sworn

Not to forget about

I still feel tired, look so worn

Heavy, tearstained, forlorn

Forgetting the past, it ain’t me

Don’t care about the wings, I ain’t free.

And I’ll be pulled down when the sun sets

Just the shadow to a Phoenix

Ashes in the wind.
