Phoenix

Time's not the villain

Coming up behind you

Is a marigold sun, love if you're willing, take a little more time

I smell fire

It's coming from the flames that are dancing on my wings

I'm a bird on a wire, killing time

Fever's got me shaking

Rises up like a road to meet

Me, fever's got me quaking like

San Andreas fault

Just put a cloth to my brow

I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down

I'm ready now

Looking for forgiveness

Looking in every cupboard in every room

I'm bearing witness to the passing time

But the clock is ticking

Like an old man singing at the top of his lungs

And the light is flickering, running out

Fever's got me shaking

Rises up like a road to meet

Me, fever's got me quaking like

San Andreas fault

Just put a cloth to my brow

I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down

I'm ready now

Everybody's looking for somebody to blame

The stages of sadness, how many can you name?

I stopped at anger

Never felt the same

They say it'll fade, my scars, my tears will dry

And I'll lie under the stars again

Not wondering where you are

Where you are

Fever's got me shaking

Rises up like a road to meet

Me, fever's got me quaking like

San Andreas fault

Just put a cloth to my brow

I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down

I'm ready now

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
