I look up at the dark sky

Like a phoenix about to fall

Ash on my sleeves

Hands shaking

From trying to have it all

Tires hum on an empty highway

If I burn

If I fade

Did I matter at all?

If I burn out now

Will I rise at all?

I’m a phoenix about to fall

Caught between the ground

And a higher call

I’m a phoenix about to fall

About to fall

I’m scared of all the right words

And what they’d make you say

Billboard flickers in the distance

Promises I don’t believe

I’m driving past my exits

Just to feel you chasing me

If I burn out now

Will I rise at all?

I’m a phoenix about to fall

Caught between the ground

And a higher call

I’m a phoenix about to fall

About to fall

What if this time

There’s no flame waiting?

What if I’m done

With recreating?

Still I close my eyes

Lean into the drop

Hoping that the breaking

Is where I finally stop

If I burn out now

Will I rise at all?

I’m a phoenix about to fall

Caught between the ground

And a higher call

I’m a phoenix about to fall

(about to fall, about to fall)

If I burn

If I fade

Did I matter at all?
