I Will Rise Again

#VocalNPM

I’m burning from the inside out

All of my emotions filling up the bottle

It just takes a little heat before I go up in flames

Everyone thinks the fire kills but watch me prove them wrong

First come the pain of death

Then the flames encase me, burn me up

Next comes my new skin of ash

And like a Phoenix I will rise again

They always told me to find a light in the dark

But I got tired of waiting for it to show up

No one seemed to be coming here

So I became the light I needed

First comes the pain of death

Then the flames encase me, burn me up

Next comes my new skin of ash

And like a phoenix I will rise again

Some days it seem too dark for me

That shadow hovering over my head

I get lost

I get scared

I’m not sure of who I’m meant to be

I feel the pain as if I were dying

I feel how my insides burn brighter and hotter than the sun

Soon I’m covered in the warm ash of the past

And then I rise again

I am the light I always needed and like a phoenix, I will rise again
