Before we were strangers
And led two different lives
Before the whole world crumbled
In front of our eyes

Lived lives like no tomorrow
Like our hearts gone wild
Like nothing gonna touch us
Immoralists as much

Before becoming strangers
Before the last goodbye
The sole thing I remember
The storm inside your eyes
I’ve been running for too long
I’ve been hiding in the woods
Always searching for the truth
Without knowing how it looks

Every battle should be won
Every pain will turn to dust
All the bridges are in flames
Me with them but that’s the nature of the Phoenix

Will you love me as I am?
When I emerge from the flames
Covered in ashes
Will you see me through the scars?
Without pity or remorse

Even with the bounty on my head
I’ll hold my head high
Not ashamed of all my wounds
Stronger after every fall
That’s the true nature of the Phoenix
When you feel like burning the bridges
Setting them in flames and forgetting
What’s keeping you from hurting people
The ones you once befriended

What keeps you from being resentful
What helps you just moving forward
Holding the gazes of people
The ones you are leaving behind you

Belonging is a powerful feeling
Standing alone can be scary
But what are the ways to make sure
That you are not dissolving in others
Be careful when wishing for blessings,
Creating the world of hidden expectations.
Before the dawn and the sunset,
There are too many breaths.

You walk the earth uncanny
Creating ripples around you.
Your steps are light as feathers
Your words are sharp as knives.

Be gentle when talking to people,
Forming the thought you are carrying.
Before the dawn and the sunset,
There are too many deaths.
We trying to reach the sky for laughs.
We think that maybe it for grabs.
Collecting things like stars and hearts
should never be allowed.

We searching the world for signs of fate,
Afraid of what they’ll say.
Correcting our stance,
Repeating mistakes
All that for just a glimpse.

A glimpse of what the life could be
When you do not feel fear.
For what could happen if we just
Believed in real deal.

— The End —
