Phoenix Teeth

“PHOENIX TEETH”

(Verse 1)
He built a cage out of whispers and blame,
called it love, carved his name in my veins.
Every “stay” felt like swallowing glass,
every night I disappeared a little fast.

He wore control like a king wears a crown,
pushed me so low I forgot looking up was allowed.
I shrank my voice just to keep him calm,
turned my fire into a flicker in his palm.

(Pre-Chorus)
But silence screams when it’s buried alive,
and broken things… still remember how to fight.

(Chorus)
I rose from the smoke with blood on my wings,
every scar’s a spark, every tear made me sing.
You tried to bury me deep in your lies—
now I’m fire, I’m fury, I’m cutting the ties.

I’m not your shadow, I’m not your ghost,
I’m everything you swore I’d never be most.
From the ashes you left me to die—
I came back breathing… a phoenix in the sky.

(Verse 2)
Lost my babies in the war of your rage,
courtroom echoes still rattle my cage.
Empty rooms where their laughter should be,
that silence? Yeah… it still claws at me.

You took my name, tried to break my spine,
twisted my truth till I questioned my mind.
But pain’s a teacher with a violent hand—
and I learned real quick how to make a stand.

(Pre-Chorus)
I stitched my soul from the wreck you made,
now I don’t flinch… I ignite the blade.

(Chorus)
I rose from the smoke with blood on my wings,
every scar’s a spark, every tear made me sing.
You tried to bury me deep in your lies—
now I’m fire, I’m fury, I’m cutting the ties.

I’m not your shadow, I’m not your ghost,
I’m everything you swore I’d never be most.
From the ashes you left me to die—
I came back breathing… a phoenix in the sky.

(Bridge – stripped, raw)
I was quiet… I was small… I was yours to control—
now I’m thunder in bones and a storm in my soul.
You don’t get to rewrite what I survived,
I’m the proof that the dead can come back alive.

(Beat drops hard)

(Final Chorus – explosive)
I rise—don’t you see me ignite?
Every broken piece learned how to fight.
I climb out the flames you lit in my chest,
turning pain into power, I’m done being less.

I’m not your ending—I’m my rebirth,
I dragged myself back out the dirt.
You made a monster? No—look closer this time…
You made a woman who refuses to die.
