Phoenix
I got nothing but the clock to prove you wrong
Let the hand hit the top, I'm moving on
But Time comes along with a robe and scythe
To cut down the ladders I devise
He said I'm mostly the lead never turned to gold
And the thoughts I mistake for the sacred stone
Were stolen without settling the price
They're falling to pieces before my eyes
Hey, won't you stay
But this call to adventure is calling my name
As I wake up again
With my hands to my face
And the colors all screaming
I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wits even if the ax is falling
I got nothing but a mask I thought I owned
Now I can't seem to figure out who's the mold
The Maker's the top of my altar space
He's closing the lock of this coffin cage
He's singing
Hey, won't you stay
But this call to adventure is calling my name
As I wake up again
With my hands to my face
And the colors all screaming
I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wits even if the ax is falling
The ax is falling
I'm not afraid to be the monster I know I could be
You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees
Tell you my little secret
You won't be my weakness
And regret only brews resentment
So drink the last full glassful
You ate the apple, that's cool
But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here
I got nothing but the clock to prove you wrong
Let the hand hit the top, I'll be moving on
When the time strikes again will I burst in flames
Dust off all the ashes and fly away
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
The sky is falling
I'm not afraid to be the bastard I know I can be
You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees
Tell you my little secret
You won't be my weakness
And regret only brews resentment
So drink the last full glassful
You ate the apple, that's cool
But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
Let the hand hit the top, I'm moving on
But Time comes along with a robe and scythe
To cut down the ladders I devise
He said I'm mostly the lead never turned to gold
And the thoughts I mistake for the sacred stone
Were stolen without settling the price
They're falling to pieces before my eyes
Hey, won't you stay
But this call to adventure is calling my name
As I wake up again
With my hands to my face
And the colors all screaming
I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wits even if the ax is falling
I got nothing but a mask I thought I owned
Now I can't seem to figure out who's the mold
The Maker's the top of my altar space
He's closing the lock of this coffin cage
He's singing
Hey, won't you stay
But this call to adventure is calling my name
As I wake up again
With my hands to my face
And the colors all screaming
I'll keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wits even if the ax is falling
The ax is falling
I'm not afraid to be the monster I know I could be
You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees
Tell you my little secret
You won't be my weakness
And regret only brews resentment
So drink the last full glassful

But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here
I got nothing but the clock to prove you wrong
Let the hand hit the top, I'll be moving on
When the time strikes again will I burst in flames
Dust off all the ashes and fly away
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
The sky is falling
I'm not afraid to be the bastard I know I can be
You can call it destiny, but I cut my own trail between the trees
Tell you my little secret
You won't be my weakness
And regret only brews resentment
So drink the last full glassful
You ate the apple, that's cool
But now it's time to take out the trash you collected here
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
Keep my hands up, keep my shadow sharpened
Keep my wings out when the sky is falling
