Your words --
Haunt me like the ghost of a child
Whose simple pleasures piled up inside
The secret place that I could never find.
Walls were the canvas for her mind.
In chalk she drew the passion of the fire
Where shadows danced each night until she died.
Her hunger sucked the marrow from inside.
Her hunger sucked the marrow from inside.
Have faith.
All these paths will someday intertwine.
As the world turns, what you lose will be found.
Roads will meet.
It's just a matter of time.
A phoenix rises from deep inside.
Your mind is bigger than your eyes.
All things pass and the child will rise.
My tongue --
Damned the day she stepped into my life
And begged as she was torn from deep inside
Was I consumed by empty promises and lies?
Was there truth in the words she left behind?
Ink stains cursed by fragments of her mind.
I cursed the ground with tears in my eyes
And my heart bled until it was dry...
My heart bled until it was dry...
C
Beneath the ashes the phoenix waits to rise...
She's so fragile now, you might want to give her time so she can try.
Give her love & give her time so she can try...
Give her love & give her time so she can try...
Have faith.
All these paths will someday intertwine.
As the world turns, what you lose will be found.
Roads will meet.
It's just a matter of time.
A phoenix rises from deep inside.
Your heart is bigger than your eyes.
All things pass and the child will rise.
Give her love & give her time so she can try...
Give her love & give her time so she can try...
Give her love & give her time so she won't slip away.
