Ashes of potential
I'm afraid to let them down
Inconsistent wonder
I'd have died to keep this crown
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning in castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above and below, I am alone here
Alone here
Destined to be distant
I'll come home when I'm complete
Finishing the statues
I'm sculpting all my selfish dreams
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning in castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above and below, I am alone here
I'm soaring now
Adrift in sound
The silence grows
It fills my soul
I miss my hope
I miss myself
I want to land
I want to be
But I can't escape
Baking with pride
Castles of clouds
I need to climb
Out of control
Spiraling dive
Flames in a flash
Burning the sky!
Come from the crash
Grounded but free
Embers of birth
Rising in me
Come from the crash
Humbled and free
Witness to your
Your poetry
