Rise Lyrics

Sleeping, resting, dormant, covered in ashes

The heat turns to cold and colds fell on the lashes

No air or space to move, I forgot how to breathe

But I'm sitting here in silence covered in these black leaves

My skin feels different, my body feels light

But my heart is still pumping and something grips my soul tight

My mind is still and my head is calm

My eyes feel refreshed, the dust is in my palms

It's been months since they left, have they truly gone

Have I truly been alone for that fucking long

It's slowly, it comes back, aspects of my character and soul

Kindness I've learned and new passions foretold

Mentally no longer weak cause death was the answer

Physically the same, time to get rid of this cancer

Emotionally I look deeper, an endless well

Spiritually a different man, though you wouldn't be able to tell

I was an outcast, always picked last

Until the talent came now look at the contrast

Like day and night, the world is in my hands

So don't waste my time like hourglass sand

And don't be surprised when these dreamers start to rise

We chasing these goals and we chasing the prize

So keep a lookout on your phone and watch with your eyes

Cause this shit right here just might be televised

This is the dark I've accepted, the light that lied to me

I'm both working as one so that I can see

The veil is lifted and I regain feeling

The cold feels nice too, getting heat from the ceiling

I walk outside to feel the sun on me

The cool breeze of the wind, sound of rustling leaves

Solitude and it's silence, it reminded me of hell

But the suffering stopped the pain is on the table to sell

The dust starts to fall, I can move my hands

Arms, legs, and body I feel like they released from bands

I rub my eyes, wipe my face, look onto my body

It's dark and ash covered, is this really me

I'm seeing life again, I feel as if I'm one

I don't feel disconnected, I feel like I can have fun

I journey back to life to tell you what I've been through

Tell you the story of the phoenix and how it could happen to you

I was an outcast, always picked last

Until the talent came now look at the contrast

Like day and night, the world is in my hands

So don't waste my time like hourglass sand

And don't be surprised when these dreamers start to rise

We chasing these goals and we chasing the prize

So keep a lookout on your phone and watch with your eyes

Cause this shit right here just might be televised
