I have that yearning in me.
Pushing me,
Driving me forward.

I have that longing in me,
Sponsor of my sleepless nights.

If only I could get to the place
Where my thoughts
Are no longer racing

If only I could catch a flight…
But for now
I am just sick of waiting.

I’m looking for your face in the crowd
It always seems like I saw you
I cherish the memories and my dreams
The only things left me by you.

I follow your voice inside my head
It judges, it laughs, it whispers
The things I forgave
But need to forget
In order to take my life back
From you.

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

When I said my vows,
I spoke them from my heart.
I took your hand in mine
And kissed the world goodbye.

I bade goodbye to all
That I no longer needed
To lies, betrays, and hurt
That heart my knew indeed.

I listened to your vows
They were so honey-sweet.
But little did I know
That they were not to keep.

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

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 need a mountain of a man,
To handle my stubborn, strong-headed nature.
I need a mountain of a man,
To help me balance the world on my shoulders.
I need the man who sees, understands.
The one who hugs my trembling body
When I cry,
When I fall…
Until I rise above it all,
Until I’m strong again
To stand
And balance the world
On my delicate shoulders.

I want you to take my hand
And never let me go.
I want you to close your eyes
Because we gonna fall.

Fall through the darkest night,
And to the ocean’s floor.
The water in our lungs
Our bodies made of snow.

We sparkle in the light,
We dance on broken dreams.
We fallen, as they say  
But nothing what it seems.

I remember the way our souls touched
That evening after the downpour in Kiev.
I remember your warmth, your gaze, your touch…
As the rainbow protruded the sky.

We didn’t even stand a chance
Too far, too young, too insecure…
We didn’t fight hard enough
Didn’t realize what we lost.

After all that time
I still can recall every small detail
Of that day, of your face, of your smile…
Like it’s been tattooed in my mind
Like I am still reliving that moment
Over and over again…
Until I can’t differentiate what’s real and what’s not.

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.

Tell me what you think,
Share your heart with me.
In the world with too much pain,
We need our souls be free.

Take me by the hand
And make me carefree.
In the world with too much pain,
We need our souls to BE.
