Phoenix Songtext / Lyric

I have seen my own phoenix die and from the ashes nothing did rise. And how many times must I go round this circle before I reach the end. And how many lifetimes must I endure before I am content.

Burning eyes stair out over the earthly expanse.
Dirty sneakers fill up with sand.
And this heart beats against his skinny ribcage.
With each rasping breath these lungs feel like they’re giving in.

And how many times must I go round this circle before I reach the end.
And how many lifetimes must I endure before I am content.

And all the pain that opens up inside my heart every time that I’m dreaming.
And all I can hope for is that this endless violent cycle will reach an end.
And all I can hope for is that they will see the insanity of this plan.
