Phoenix Rizing

I Upbeat symphonic pop-rock, Rockabilly influence, Don't bring me down

Male singers

,

The higher up, the harder fall.

I built my world on borrowed pride,

While truth was burning deep inside.

I looked back at the wake I left,

The broken hearts, the dreams bereft.

The mirror showed a stranger's face,

I'd hurt the ones I can't replace.

(Chorus)

I'm phoenix rizing from the fire I set,

The ashes falling are my own regret.

I chose this burning, chose to let it hurt,

To find what's real beneath the dirt.

I'm rising up but I don't know what's next,

Just different now, still incomplete and wrecked!

So now I'm walking toward the flame,

I'll burn away this hollow name.

I'm tearing down what I became,

'Cause staying high just brings more shame!

Here in the rubble, stripped of all,

No walls to hide behind, no call.

The silence holds me in its grip,

As pieces of my old self slip.

(Chorus)

I'm phoenix rizing from the fire I set,

The ashes falling are my own regret.

I chose this burning, chose to let it hurt,

To find what's real beneath the dirt.

I'm rising up but I don't know what's next,

Just different now, still incomplete and wrecked!

My wings are heavy, scarred but spread,

I'm climbing up with trembling dread!

This might not be the final time,

I fall again, attempt the climb!

(Bridge)

Why rize again if I might fall?

Why face the fire, risk it all?

Because the truth won't let me stay,

In ashes or in false display!

I'd rather burn and try to grow,

Than live a lie I've come to know!

(Chorus)

I'm phoenix rizing from the fire I set,

The ashes falling are my own regret.

I chose this burning, chose to let it hurt,

To find what's real beneath the dirt.

I'm rizing up but I don't know what's next,

Just different now, still incomplete and wrecked!

I'm phoenix rizing from the fire I set,

The ashes falling are my own regret.

I chose this burning, chose to let it hurt,

To find what's real beneath the dirt.

I'm rizing up but I don't know what's next,

Just different now, still incomplete and wrecked!
