Up Out of the Ashes
Ever felt so low inside you lose your way back
Deafened by the shouting and felt under attack
Arms over head to protect yourself from hurt
Need to walk away from it feel like pure dirt
Life pulls you down so you can't get yourself back up
Need to hold on tight protect yourself buttercup
Take a deep breath close your eyes stand tall again
Somewhere deep inside burns fire to quench the rain
Up out of the ashes your phoenix awakes
Grabbing hold of your fears burning them like snakes
Rising so fierce she burns them in her wake
Tossing them aside with the feathers she shakes
Ever fought the battle with demons in your mind
Lost your mind completely from their cruel and unkind
Eyes squeezed tightly closed to shut out all the sights
Bad in the daytimes even worse through the nights
Sucks all the life from you and fills your mind with fear
Spears of pure pain in your head bringing on your tears
Fight for your life and give it all that you got
Feel your heart ripped apart and burned like it's shot
Up out of the ashes your phoenix awakes
Grabbing hold of your fears burning them like snakes
Rising so fierce she burns them in her wake
Tossing them aside with the feathers she shakes
Up out of the ashes your phoenix awakes
Grabbing hold of your fears burning them like snakes
Rising so fierce she burns them in her wake
Tossing them aside with the feathers she shakes
Ever felt so low inside you lose your way back
Deafened by the shouting and felt under attack.....
