[Intro] [Verse 1] Your keys are still resting by the door A heavy shadow on the hardwood floor I watched the embers turn to ghost-light grey And felt the floorboards start to drift away Each memory is a jagged stone In this house where I am left alone [Verse 2] The clock is ticking like a closing fist A life reduced to all the years I missed The hollow ache is like a sudden frost Counting the years that silence cost But in the dark a stubborn spark remains A white-hot current moving through my veins [Pre-chorus] It starts with a flicker A heat in the soul The shadow is melting The fever takes hold I’m shedding the weight Of the stories I told [Chorus] I am rising like the Phoenix from the flame Glass-bright lungs as I scream your name The bitter cold was the fuel for the glow Now I’m letting all the wreckage go Out of the salt and the iron of me I’m taking flight and I’m finally free [Bridge] The furnace is a forge The iron starts to bend No longer just a breaking The only way to mend The fire had to take me To let the life begin [Chorus] I am rising like the Phoenix from the flame Glass-bright lungs as I scream your name The bitter cold was the fuel for the glow Now I’m letting all the wreckage go Out of the salt and the iron of me I’m taking flight and I’m finally free [Outro] Leaving the smoke behind Leaving the ghost behind From the ashes I rise From the dust I fly I fly [End]
