Phoenix Reborn

(mhhhh) I found the letters that you wrote to me

Buried under clothes I used to wear

A photograph of who I had to be

With tired eyes and combed-back hair But that mirror is a stranger's

face (no more) I’m packing up and leaving this space

I had to lay that boy to rest

To pull the heartbeat

from his chest

No tears to weep,

no

ghost to chase

I put a seal upon

his grave

I buried who I was before

To find my way to something more

And now the morning light is clean and new (so clean) No

hiding in the shadows of the past

Every breath I take is finally true

I built a temple that will last

Let the rain fall on the stone (let it fall) I am

finally my own

Goodbye to the boy I knew (rest

in peace) Hello to the sky so blue (ahhhh)
