Phoenix Tears

Verse 1

Ash on the mountainside

Smoke curling to the gray

I came back wrong somehow

Down the same broken way

Every scar that I carried

Every name I let go

Burns a hole in my belly

'Til the embers all glow

Chorus

Phoenix tears in my eyes

Rising up from the fire

Phoenix tears let me rise

Through the ache and the dire

I was cinders and bone

Now I'm something anew

Phoenix tears in my eyes

I am coming for you

Verse 2

Wings of the morning cracked

Gold in the dying light

I press my palm to the wound

And I steady the night

I was taught not to weep

'Til the sorrow was done

So I swallow the heat

And I swallow the sun

Chorus

Phoenix tears in my eyes

Rising up from the fire

Phoenix tears let me rise

Through the ache and the dire

I was cinders and bone

Now I'm something anew

Phoenix tears in my eyes

I am coming for you

Bridge

Quiet the voice in me

Bury the doubt

Turn all the grief to gold

Then I burn it back out

Chorus

Phoenix tears in my eyes

Rising up from the fire

Phoenix tears let me rise

Through the ache and the dire

I was cinders and bone

Now I'm something anew

Phoenix tears in my eyes

I am coming for you
