Empty streets again

Ashes whisper in the wind tonight A silent scream a fading light Born to fall but rise again The fire knows no bitter end I am the Phoenix watch me fly Burn the darkness light the sky Falling breaking but never gone From the embers I am reborn Flames are my feathers smoke my crown Every time I’m lost I’m found The heat of hope burns in my chest This endless fight my only rest I dive I crash I shatter the night From the ground I claim my flight I am the Phoenix watch me fly Burn the darkness light the sky Falling breaking but never gone From the embers I am reborn A blaze a spark a roaring tide My heart’s a furnace I cannot hide In every tear a fire’s hue I’ll rise I’ll rise to start anew

Glass on the floor splinters of me Shadows stretch long across my chest I can't find the pieces to fit back A puzzle that fights back fights back Shatter me slowly break me apart Tear through the skin expose my heart I’m screaming I’m screaming I’m screaming for you But I’m just an echo lost in the blue Rain on the rooftop pounding like doubt Dripping through cracks I can’t seal out Hands on my face but they don’t feel mine Who am I this time this time Every breath cuts like glass Every step breaks the past Shatter me slowly break me apart Tear through the skin expose my heart I’m screaming I’m screaming I’m screaming for you But I’m just an echo lost in the blue I’m a house of cards in a hurricane Each word a match igniting my pain Say my name say it again And I’ll come undone undone undone Every breath cuts like glass Every step breaks the past Shatter me slowly break me apart Tear through the skin expose my heart I’m screaming I’m screaming I’m screaming for you But I’m just an echo lost in the blue
