Phoenix Lyrics by Corinne

2019

If I spoke in just cliches
I’d say life’s short, live today
There’s not more for me to say
I can’t do this one more day

I can’t fall in love
I can’t push and shove
No more becoming a toy
For another white boy

And have you seen my eyes?
In them, I carry worlds ‘bout twice the size
Of the one beneath your feet
So darling take a seat

And I don’t care about your family name
I don’t care about your local fame
I had my heart locked in a cage
And then you took it out to play

It's frightening to say
That you’re the one that’s in my way
I can’t sit around and wait
For you to pack and go away

I can’t fall in love
I can’t push and shove
No more wasting all my joy
On another white boy

And have you seen my eyes?
In them, I carry worlds ‘bout twice the size
Of the one beneath your feet
So darling take a seat

And I don’t care about your family name
I don’t care about your local fame
I had my heart locked in a cage
And then you took it out to play

And I don’t think that you’ll ever see
My true colors, my complexity
But I have nothing to prove to you
And I want nothing to do with you

And I don’t care ‘bout your family
Your last name means not one thing to me
I might as well call you something as bad
As the way you treated me

And like a phoenix, I’ll rise from thee
