II. Phoenix Lyrics

Don't waste your breath

Every waking minute it's the same

I can't escape this feeling

That I was never who I claimed to be

But I will die before I say

That I harbor a single regret

And if the story ends today

Let no one ever forget

I saw it all come tumbling down

And laughed in their faces

Every time one step closer

To paradise the empty spaces

In between awake and enchanted

By something real unlocking the meaning

To everything open the light and

Reveal the truth they thought I was dreaming

Let us be fools

To say that there's something more

But if it's all so simple

What are we really living for?

If all you see is delusion

If all you feel is contempt

Why should we want to continue?

What use is there to attempt?

I saw it all come tumbling down

And laughed in their faces

Every time one step closer

To paradise the empty spaces

In between awake and enchanted

By something real unlocking the meaning

To everything open the light and

Reveal the truth they thought I was dreaming

I saw it all come tumbling down

And laughed in their faces

Every time one step closer

To paradise the empty spaces

In between awake and enchanted

By something real unlocking the meaning

To everything open the light and

Reveal the truth they thought I was dreaming
