Sometimes Phoenix
Ashes of potential
I'm afraid to let them down
Inconsistent wonder
I will die to keep this crown
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here alone here
Destined to be distant
I'll come home when I'm complete
I'm finishing my statues
I'm sculpting all my selfish dreams
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here
I'm soaring now, adrift in sound
The silence grows, it fills my soul
I miss my home, I miss myself
I want to land, I want to be
But I can't escape aching with pride
Castles of clouds i need to climb
Out of control spiraling dive
Flames in a flash burning the sky
Cold from the crash grounded but free
Embers of birth rising in me
Cold from the crash humbled and free
A witness to your pure poetry
