Untitled

Shattered wings on the concrete floor

Broken mirror of who I was before

Ash in my lungs, blood in my teeth

But I still breathe, yeah I still breathe

Echoes scream through cathedral bones

No one’s coming, I’m all alone

But fire lives where the silence grows

And I won’t die in yesterday’s clothes

⸻

I’m the glass phoenix, sharp and bright

Rising through smoke in the dead of night

Cracked but glowing, I still ignite

From the grave of me, I take flight

Feathers of flame, eyes full of storm

Born from ruin, beautifully deformed

They thought I’d burn, thought I’d break

But I rise—make no mistake

⸻

Used to beg the sky for grace

Now I wear my pain like warpaint

Fragile soul with a furnace heart

Don’t tell me who I am, I tear that apart

Every scar’s a map, every bruise a sign

Every fall just rewrote my spine

They built my cage from doubt and glass

But I just turned it into wings at last

⸻

I’m the glass phoenix, sharp and bright

Rising through smoke in the dead of night

Cracked but glowing, I still ignite

From the grave of me, I take flight

Feathers of flame, eyes full of storm

Born from ruin, beautifully deformed

They thought I’d burn, thought I’d break

But I rise—make no mistake

⸻

[Bridge] (slow & eerie, then builds)

Let ‘em watch as I combust

Diamond dust from broken trust

Singed and sacred, scorched and true

I’m not who I was—are you?

⸻

I’m the glass phoenix, reborn in screams

Soaring high through fractured dreams

I was shattered, I was slain

But I found heaven in the flame

Feathers of flame, eyes full of storm

Born from ruin, beautifully deformed

No cage, no chain, no grave can hold

A soul like mine, forged in gold
