The Phoenix
I was a fire
An ambitious barbarian
A lady Macbeth
A despicable heroin
I destroyed
and consumed
and played the game
everything I touched died
but I won, all the same
It was glorious
and lonely
but to me that didn't matter
I was my only champion
And they were just obstacles
ones I could shatter
It was enough
to fight, and win
and take
it was a sweet dream
but inevitably
the time came to wake
I grew older
and just a bit wiser
I looked in the mirror
and saw
I wasn't a flame
but a girl set on fire
And it burned
I was in hell
the devil tore out my soul
and left me a shell
Their was blood in my lungs
and smoke in my veins
