Free Cee Are Those Scars From Mars
SOME SCARS ARE FROM FLEAS WHILE SOME ARE FROM YOUR LIES AND
DUPLICITOUS DISGUISE
So I ask you, is Phoenix far enough,
far enough away from moonbeams?
I don’t mean to sound angry or gruff,
but is Phoenix far enough away from our dreams?
Surely you must recall the dreams and plans we once made
Or should I say your rules and remnants of a love gone awry
They were the hopes my heart echoed and I thought would never fade
When you promised me lands I’d never heard of and swore we could fly
Let’s see………. it must be like two thousand miles away from me
I’m speaking about Phoenix, of course
So I ask again in different words, has Phoenix set you free,
Because as for me my soul is rotting by life’s coercion and force
Phoenix may as well be another planet such as Mars
While yesterday’s rainbows have faded to shameful shades of gray
Loving you has left me with little but scurrilous scars
So I ask yet again, is Phoenix far enough away?
