Phoenix

Out of the embers rose a beautiful phoenix

Spent so many Decembers in the cold I was freezing

Had to learn how to let go to hold on to the real me

Put it all in the blender and mixed all the ingredients

Now what I've got is a confection of everything that's within me

Mixed the pain with the passion now I'm fuelled and I'm driven

As a car on a track that's traveling at great speeds

That's what it took to suspend my disbelief and believe in

The dream that I have that I'm trying to attain

I didn't like who I was so I killed that part of me

On the brink on the cusp of making a stain

Lately it feels like I'm just a single away
