I look in the mirror
just to see myself a little clearer
Past reflections from smiles to distractions
I am suffering.
This fire is burning
my heart feels the yearning
they say life is full of lessons
I haven't done much learning.
I felt the rain of a thousand different pains
happiness left as quick as it came
I ask myself how much more can I take?
cause lately i've been drowning
I'm tired of smiling, you all know it's fake
but I won't let this decide my fate
growth is a choice, it is a choice that we all make
arrows filled with sorrow
rain down on me
the pressure of it all is too much to handle.
Searching the ends of the earth, till you are a found.
this is all too much
my cup runs full and i'm willing to start over.
travel back to the beginning
soul search my heart
recover the broken piece before this tears me apart
this is all too much.
You used to always be on my mind
but then i realize that you were just a waste of time
the shine that i once saw in your eyes
was just the light that you stole from my life
arrows filled with sorrow
rain down on me
the pressure of it all is too much to handle
searching the end of the earth
until you are found
this is all too much
my cup runs full and i'm willing to start over
who I am is far from the person i've been
I lost it all once, I won't lose it again
I must remember that the pain won't take me
I'll keep on rising from it, I'll keep rising from it
where I am is far from the places i've been
the days aren't that bright but they're less dim
I must remember in the end, who I am
I am the phoenix.
feel the fire in your heart.
I look in the mirror
just to see myself a little clearer
Past reflections from smiles to distractions
I am suffering.
This fire is burning
my heart feels the yearning
they say life is full of lessons
I haven't done much learning.
I felt the rain of a thousand different pains
happiness left as quick as it came
I ask myself how much more can I take?
