Phoenix Lyrics by Hope Dodge

2023

The older I am
The angrier I get
And the harder they grieve
For a girl who's been long dead
Who looked just like me

She was trusting
She was naive
Is it any wonder
Why they tore her heart asunder
When it dangled from her sleeve

She's gone now I hear them cry
Won't find her looking in my eyes
She was far too soft to survive
I took her place like a phoenix from the fire

I've replaced her
I'm a changeling
I reside in her bones
I walk in her skin
But I cannot be controlled

She's gone now I hear them cry
Won't find her looking in my eyes
She was far too soft to survive
I took her place like a phoenix from the fire

I had to step in and end her pain
What happened to her won't happen again
She couldn't bear to face another day
So she welcomed the flames

She's gone now I hear them cry
Won't find her looking in my eyes
She was far too soft to survive
I took her place like a phoenix from the fire
