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.....
