Phoenix

Stars out in the open skies

Chasing criminals

Racing by, eyes blurry

Made subliminal

Singing like we're zombies

On some county roads

Coming down, towers crumbling

Watched it all explode

But what else can I say?

Now what else can I do?

I can only hear these memories leading back to you

Back to you

Spending time in hospitals

Put my life on hold

Dropping off, some cutouts

It still takes a toll

Parting like we're strangers

Never once to speak

Moving on, always changing

Ain't it make believe?

But what else can I say?

Now what else can I do?

I can only hear these memories leading back to you

Back to you

Playing through these conversations

Now they're scrambled in my head

I still see you in the doorway

With a look I can't forget

Though this flame was always burning

Dragged out in your Sunday best

No one knows how much I loved you

My name scratched out nonetheless

You would rise up like a phoenix, rise up like a phoenix

Always rise up like a phoenix, always rise up like a phoenix

You would rise up like a phoenix, rise up like a phoenix

Always rise up like a phoenix, always rise up like a phoenix
