Phoenix

[00:18.98] I need to find a little solitude, my love
[00:25.67] In which to catch alight my breath
[00:34.47] I need to build a little fire in my heart
[00:40.85] Which will spit and spark 'til my death
[00:49.44] So I can unfurl the pretty flames
[00:54.35] That have my arms
[00:57.63] Which I will raise up to the sky
[01:01.56] With a twisted smile
[01:06.34] And I will sing "Glory Be"
[01:09.89] And inside, whisper, "help me, please"
[01:14.06] And shout out "Love, love, love"
[01:17.12] For eternity
[01:21.85] Oh, what have I become?
[01:29.83] And where is my mother?
[01:37.95] Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
[01:45.76] That I may build this birthing pyre
[02:10.24] He says I have the soul of the sun
[02:16.46] But I'm yet to ignite it
[02:21.85] (I'm yet to invite it)
[02:24.33] And she says I'm not around any more
[02:31.57] But she still tastes the smoke on my tongue
[02:38.64] But I will unfurl the pretty flames
[02:43.46] That have my legs
[02:45.96] And waltz away my flesh and feathers
[02:53.63] And I will cry tears of glee
[02:57.46] And I will beg you to save me
[03:01.34] But I'll be flying, flying, flying
[03:07.39] It's mythical policy
[03:10.27] Oh, what have I become?
[03:16.35] And where is my mother?
[03:23.84] Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
[03:31.28] That I may build this birthing pyre
[03:54.33] Just give me a thousand years, my love
[04:01.35] I'll meet you by the ashes
[04:09.04] Oh, what have I become?
[04:15.45] And where is my mother?
[04:23.84] Bring me my sticks and spices
[04:30.54] That I may build this birthing pyre
[04:38.94] What have I become?
[04:46.45] And where is my mother?
[04:56.33]
