The Phoenix Lyrics

Here I am, 38 years a man, 38 years to become this man

And one day I'll be nothin' but footprints in the sand

And I don't know if I can

Carry on standin' in a land, I'm damned

I keep offerin' you my hand

It took an entire lifespan to understand that

A million mistakes faced with a million billion trillion apologies, no difference makes

You 'n' I are not the same, none of our synapse fire the same

Segregate 'n' ignore the strange, there's too much change

I'm on the last draft of the last page

And it's almost over, time is tickin' out

Now I see the smiles for what they are, they're just crooked mouths

Speakin' empty words from empty heads

They're good at conjurin' nothin' 'n' castin' doubt

Looks like, I'm a have to live this one out

But now my body is failin' 'n' now my mind has begun ailing

And I'm sick of this sickness 'n' all the nightmares I've created

Dreams have faded, replaced with an emptiness that I hate

But in that emptiness there is hate

I remember its taste

I got one goal, that's to crush all those who oppose

Destroy them all with the flow of a dark soul evolved

If I got one flaw, it's that I can't quit on this road

I made my choice, silence my voice, this is all I live for

I'll never stop, until I drop

Until my eyes roll back 'n' my body has begun to rot

I'll stop, when I drop

When my mind gives up 'n' the people have begun to watch

Since 11 never wanted to be normal

Now I'm 19 'n' rap has got a grip on me

Now every bully who pulled me apart

The pieces are collidin' 'n' ignitin' a spark, a fire in this dark heart

My dreams are not comprehended by dreamers

My dream is to have Reuben with a beamin' grin when I rap

Steppin' in force with a wit that can rip so

Takin' it back, breakin' the backs

I'm realignin' the planets so I can hop, skip 'n' jump to Uranus

And kick it, face it, the wordplay's just too far ahead

Seems to be more up 'n' down than a see-saw

This thesis leaves you in pieces, is he 19

Birds 'n' the bees man, I'm breezin' past it

I'm grafted from granite

Honestly the feud between me 'n' my mum, man dammit

A calamity happened to Callum 'n' Fi

400 passed, now I gotta kick my own ass again

Amassed with Matt again

Guess I'm a bastard, time to find the right path again

I got one goal, that's to crush all those who oppose

Destroy them all with the flow of a dark soul evolved

If I got one flaw, it's that I can't quit on this road

I made my choice, silence my voice, this is all I live for

I'll never stop, until I drop

Until my eyes roll back 'n' my body has begun to rot

I'll stop, when I drop

When my mind gives up 'n' the people have begun to watch
