The Phoenix Lie

(Verse 1)
You saw me turnin’ cold, I felt it coming on,
The world was crashin’ down, felt your past pilin’ on.
I was playin your sinister Games just to keep us alive
I looked you in the eye, through the chaos and the dust
Said "I don't need you,"
 you took it as a bust, 
you didn't hear the heartbeat underneath the fear
I was tryin’ to save the family while you were grinding the gears of your past.
(Chorus)
I didn't need you to survive, hell, I’ve walked through fire before,
I didn’t need a crutch, girl,  
I wanted you forever,

I was choosing you forever, 'til I lost my voice.
(Verse 2)
I burn it all, put it all through the ashes,
Burned down my own way just to break the lock,

Just to keep us unbroken, to buy us time.
But you have a way movin, yeah, 

I know your style
When it gets too heavy,

Grinding back to the bed of your past 
before the dust could even settle,

While I’m sittin’ in the wreckage under the stars of our past
(Verse 3)
Now you ran back to your past.
yeah, you circled the drain
Dragging unhealed baggage through the mud and the rain,
Your unhealed past always crosses your path.

You’re Just out there recycling the hurt just to cover the crimes of your past,
That ain't being a Phoenix, rising up from the ashes.

Your haunted of  an eternal graveyard where the dead lay.
(Bridge)
Now you’re playin’ "Phoenix," risin’ for the crowd,

Postin’ pictures in the sun, laughin’ bright and loud,

True Phoenix doesn’t just play house in the heat,
They stay there when it burns, they don’t accept defeat

You’re lookin’ for an audience to clap for your show,

I was lookin’ for a partner with something real forever.

(Outro - Spoken over fading guitar)
Yeah, I haven’t touched another, 'cause  I loved to hard to be replaced.

You’re out there filling the void, just running from the style of your ways,
Keep running from your losses of the past
Get under your past. 
you're just burying yourself under your fears of your tears,

 You can't outrun the truth of your past.
