Verse 1:
Mirror, mirror, I don't recognize
This fighter staring through these bloodshot eyes
Got scars like tattoos, stories on my skin
But I'm done explaining where I've been
Pre-Chorus:
(Oh-oh-oh) They thought I'd fade away
(Oh-oh-oh) But I was born from the flames
Chorus:
This is phoenix season, rising from the ash
No more people pleasing, I'm done with looking back
Set fire to my demons, watch 'em turn to smoke
This is phoenix season, phoenix season
And I'm never going broke
(I'm never going broke on myself again)
Verse 2:
Delete the numbers that I used to call
When I was crawling just to feel the fall
New city, new me, that's so cliché
But clichés exist 'cause they're true anyway
Pre-Chorus:
(Oh-oh-oh) They said I'd never change
(Oh-oh-oh) Now they don't know my name
Chorus:
This is phoenix season, rising from the ash
No more people pleasing, I'm done with looking back
Set fire to my demons, watch 'em turn to smoke
This is phoenix season, phoenix season
And I'm never going broke
(I'm never going broke on myself again)
Bridge:
(Beat drops out - just vocals and bass)
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
But not everybody gets back up from the ground
I'm that rare breed, I'm that success story
Taking my power back, taking the glory
Final Chorus:
This is phoenix season, rising from the ash
No more people pleasing, I'm done with looking back
Set fire to my demons, watch 'em turn to smoke
This is phoenix season, phoenix season
And I'm never going broke
Outro:
(Oh-oh-oh) Phoenix season
(Oh-oh-oh) I got my reasons
(Oh-oh-oh) Phoenix season
I'm never going broke on myself again
