lyrics

Oh there once was a time when I needed you
There once was a time when I thought you were more than life itself
Anything just to have you near
I was only a child then, the world was not so clear

I was lonely wanted to be someone worthy of love
And if innocence was weakness you would cure it soon enough

I see the phoenix arise from a bed of fire
It will purify her
Ashes to ashes, around and around again
Until we burn this mountain down
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

Tried so hard to be what you liked
Filled the emptiness with all the damage we could fit inside

I was lonely wanted to be someone worthy of love
And if innocence was weakness you would cure it soon enough

I see the phoenix arise from a bed of fire
It will purify her
Ashes to ashes, around and around again
Until we burn this mountain down
Down to the ground

Steady my hand as I stand in the here and now
Where the sun is shining
There is a heartbeat and I know that I'm alive
Like a challenge to the sky, I will fly fly fly

Ashes to ashes around and around again
Until we burn our burdens down, down down
Down to the ground

I see the phoenix arise from a bed of fire
It will purify her
Ashes to ashes, around and around again
Until we burn this mountain down
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

Mostly I write songs about our shared emotions, fears, and hiding places. Sometimes, just about rabbits. I hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as I enjoy creating it. If you find a piece of your story in here, sing it with me.
