lyrics
Phoenix
You build up a giant made of straw and wood,
once you lit the fire all you did was run
So your world burned down to ashes,
but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite
you bought your alibi.
You made yourself a new suit and crafted a new face,
you started to sell candy to well distracted kids.
So your world burned down to ashes,
but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite
you bought your alibi.
You lie; you lie.
Every movement is a lie.
Every sound you make: a lie.
Every gesture is a lie,
every word is just a lie, lie, lie.
Now you got a bunch of followers and you preach a new gospel
won’t anybody ever tell you stop lying to yourself.
So your world burned down to ashes, but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite you bought your alibi.
You build up a giant made of straw and wood,
once you lit the fire all you did was run
So your world burned down to ashes,
but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite
you bought your alibi.
You made yourself a new suit and crafted a new face,
you started to sell candy to well distracted kids.
So your world burned down to ashes,
but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite
you bought your alibi.
You lie; you lie.
Every movement is a lie.
Every sound you make: a lie.
Every gesture is a lie,
every word is just a lie, lie, lie.
Now you got a bunch of followers and you preach a new gospel
won’t anybody ever tell you stop lying to yourself.
So your world burned down to ashes, but the phoenix is alive.
Everyone is a hypocrite you bought your alibi.
