Phoenix

Knowing me now, I take the central target No matter what it seems that I am lost I throw away what could maybe save me I break apart when I need to stand If I am so much to me, why must I fall down? To over-think what comes, I’m full of lies But this self aggression is what I was raised on Without depression I feel that I’d be gone With hopes of grandeur and a hope obsession With lies built up as though there’s no such thing With hate affliction and a love addiction I’d be dead before I’d even smiled Knowing you now and my eyes wide open I am the phoenix and I’ll take you down For within this anger lies a desperate child No matter what he knows he can’t be saved Despair is over and his dreams forsaken The ashes rise now and the blame’s on you When I wake without the mask of laughter I will scream and I will burn you down My judge will die now and all words forgotten I am fire in its purity Even if you see me I’ll tear your eyes up Burn you out with no sincerity I’ll reach your mind and I’ll make it blind now I’ll find a way to make you hate yourself I am all of you and more I’ve seen through everything before What you feel will gather in me And with this I will bring you down I am fear and I am the helpless If I live, my goals are far too dark With self destruction and a fading mask now Give me ears and I will avenge The self conflictions that avert my eyes here They’re too far gone now to ever stop So give me anger and I know I’ll smile Feed the phoenix and you will get burnt
