lyrics

The Phoenix
I am the Phoenix
I am the Phoenix
I am the Phoenix
I am…
Verse 1
I’ve arisen from the ashes
Fire is in my eyes, unhidden, thunder crashes
I’m dependant on no one, but free
As a bird, I’m no one, but me!
Have you heard Greek Mythology’s creature, flies with ease
Irresponisbily testing the “supposed-to-be’s” economically, ethically, emotionally,
Even logically?
The Truth’s so over your head, you don’t know what I said
Mortals are a bunch of idiots, thought you knew what true love really is,
Unworthy of the Phoenix!

Chorus
Who can accomplish feats this genius once again other than the cosmic Phoenix?
All it breathes is fire while the world falls to pieces
All it needs is freedoms
Sought uniqueness from you common heathens
Hot as hell, he gets a trillion degrees celcius – too hot to handle
The Truth is the Truce with humans has gotten cancelled

Verse 2
Virgins sacrifice themselves to me, unselfishly, but helplessly
So kiss her a little harder, hug her a littler stronger, fuck her a little longer
Hold her a little tighter in the night because I won’t yield – tie her to the bed with steel wires
She’ll try to head to me, beg and plead that I still like her sexually
It’s not the same a-hole when retentive
Anal is inexpensive – pocket change
I’d rather mug a purse than fuck the Earth for what it’s worth – nothing
The only thing worse than that would be
Getting squashed by my personality

Verse 3
Divine intervention if I enter in when I’m in flight
Defying winds I get undivided attention –
OMA so it’s a sin to use my name in vain
Why no, I don’t quite know when to quit
So tell me; I don’t get the hint
Saying “YOLO”, yet then again, you’re only human
So maybe you do
I’m so infinite, there’s no limit and I cannot tell a lie to you
When even my lies are true…
I am the Phoenix
I am the Phoenix
I am the Phoenix
I am the Phoenix…
