You said I was finished
Buried under what I’d done
Ash in my pockets
Breathing dust instead of lungs
Name on your tongue like a warning
Face in the mirror
Almost gone
Hands full of all my failures
Heart still holding on
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Climbing out the cold I was crashed in
Every scar
Every cut
Every fracture
Burns into a brand-new chapter
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Turn the wreck into light as it flashes
You’ll remember when the sky turns red
I was born again where the fire spread
Walked through the quiet ruins
Blistered feet on broken stone
Fear tried to chain me
I broke links
Came back for my throne (oh yeah)
Smoke in my hair like a crown now
Glow in my eyes from the flame
I’m not the one that you buried
I don’t even answer to that name
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Climbing out the cold I was crashed in
Every scar
Every cut
Every fracture
Burns into a brand-new chapter
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Turn the wreck into light as it flashes
You’ll remember when the sky turns red
I was born again where the fire spread
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn out
All the doubt
All the chains
All the fallout
From the ground
From the ground
I am reaching
Hear my name in the blaze as I’m screaming
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Climbing out the cold I was crashed in
Every scar
Every cut
Every fracture
Burns into a brand-new chapter
I’m the phoenix
Watch me rise from the ashes
Turn the wreck into light as it flashes
You’ll remember when the sky turns red
I was born again where the fire spread
