Phoenix Lyrics

I got nothing but the clock to prove you wrong

Let the hand hit the top, I'm moving on

But Time comes along with a robe and scythe

To cut down the ladders I devise

He said I'm mostly the lead never turned to gold

And the thoughts I mistake for the sacred stone

Were stolen without settling the price

They're falling to pieces before my eyes, singing

Hey, won't you stay

But this call to adventure is calling my name

As I wake up again

With my hands to my face

And the colors all screaming

I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened

Keep my wits even if the ax is falling

I got nothing but a mask I thought I owned

Now I can't seem to figure out who's the mold

The Maker's the top of my altar space

He's closing the lock of this coffin-cage, singing

Hey, won't you stay

But this call to adventure is calling my name

As I wake up again

With my hands to my face

And the colors all screaming

I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened

Keep my wits even if the ax is falling

The ax is falling

I'm not afraid to be the monster that I know I could be

You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees

Tell you my little secret

You won't be my weakness

And regret only brews resentment

So drink the last full glassful

You ate the apple, that's cool

But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here

I got nothing but the clock to prove you wrong

Let the hand hit the top, I'll be moving on

When the time strikes again will I burst in flames

Dust off all the ashes and fly away

To keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened

Keep my wings out when the sky is falling

The sky is falling

I'm not afraid to be the bastard that I know I can be

You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees

Tell you my little secret

You won't be my weakness

And regret only brews resentment

So drink the last full glassful

You ate the apple, that's cool

But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here

Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened

Keep my wings out when the sky is falling

Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened

Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
