pheonix rising - DREAMSCAPE (Remastered)

[intro – faint breathing, single piano note repeating] (whispered) i lost myself in the silence… but from the ashes, i’m breathing again… [verse 1] burning low, i forgot my name voices in my head said i’m the one to blame a mirror full of tears, a stage full of masks smiling in the spotlight, breaking in the back every word they threw cut me to the bone i was falling fast but i felt so alone the pain got louder than my own heartbeat until the flames whispered, “stand on your feet” [pre-chorus] i almost gave it all away, i almost said goodbye but somewhere in the smoke, i saw a light inside we fall, we break, we lose who we are but from the fire, we remember our stars [chorus] we’re phoenixes rising, from the edge, from the pain born again from the storm and the rain every scar we hide, every tear we bled made wings of gold from the words they said we burn to live, not just to survive we’re phoenixes rising, we’re alive [verse 2] days turned to nights i couldn’t breathe dreams turned to chains i couldn’t leave i whispered, “maybe this is where i end” but the fire whispered, “no, begin again” in the dark, i met myself for the first time saw the cracks in my soul, but they started to shine the pain became art, the scars turned to flame the girl who wanted to die learned her name [pre-chorus] i almost gave it all away, i almost said goodbye but somewhere in the smoke, i saw a light inside we fall, we break, we lose who we are but from the fire, we remember our stars [chorus] we’re phoenixes rising, from the edge, from the pain born again from the storm and the rain every scar we hide, every tear we bled made wings of gold from the words they said we burn to live, not just to survive we’re phoenixes rising, we’re alive [bridge – soft harmonies swell, violin + electric guitar building] i lost myself, but i found my voice through every broken piece, i made my choice to live, to fight, to breathe again to love myself when no one did then [final chorus – full vocal layering, emotional high] phoenixes rising, from the ashes we bloom turning every shadow into light and truth every scream we hid, every night we cried became the reason we’re still alive we burn to shine, we fall to fly we’re phoenixes rising, we’ll never die [outro – whispered, fading heartbeat sound] i lost myself once… but i found the fire inside… and now i rise [spoken outro – faint reverb, cinematic silence behind it] a phoenix born again, rosen from the ashes i was buried in. now, i’m brighter.
