I am not Phoenix I will not rise from my ashes When I burst into flame Only my ashes will remain I am not everlasting love Just a memories horde Of days and years of passion laying in the ruins as ashes I am not an eternity Just a wiff of smoke and wind Place my remains on a tier of wood Set the fire as understood I am not Phoenix

I am not Phoenix
I am not Phoenix I will not rise from my ashes When I burst into flame Only my ashes will remain I am not everlasting love Just a memories horde Of days and years of passion laying in the ruins as ashes I am not an eternity Just a wiff of smoke and wind Place my remains on a tier of wood Set the fire as understood I am not Phoenix
