From The Ashes

I keep fooling myself With each mask that I wear This burden I must bear I'm stuck in disguise With all these white lies All these white lies I am ready... for whatever may come around Everything I do is for The dearest to my heart But I often have these thoughts That I'm just playing my roles Like an actor in the theater of life With no way for a freedom's cry Every now and then I try to put them away I scratch them hard till I bleed But I feel that's what I need From inside I have to fight my way out Through the pain till I see the glimmer of light I keep fooling myself With all these white lies all these white lies Mesmerized... by the way of life That everyone of us Have to play our parts How many more fights await me? On this path I walk persistently How many more cuts will I take? Just to keep my loved ones safe Every now and then I try to put them away I scratch them hard till I bleed But I feel that's what I need From inside I have to fight my way out Through the pain till I see the glimmer of light That's just the way humans are Like actors we play In the theater of life That's just the way humans are The masks we wear Are the burden we bear Sacrificing ourselves For the ones we try So hard to protect Don't forget who you really are (really are) Take them out, embrace your scars Face the picture your life has made And don't let your identity fade Don't let your identity fade

Like a tool in the hands of fate Made of love and hate What holds all facts and stays intact? What would you hide or boast about? I know for sure My past will chase me down I'll face the naked truth With all it's glory and flaws Like a part of the game I'm suspended in a frame Through the raging storms I'll find my way that I had lost But I remember now All my scars all that cost I carried it all it's time to rise above Rise above What would you mean If time didn't exist? A mere distant dream Which blurred in the mist These questions speculations Eternal calculation distracts you from your goal So rise above it all! Through the raging storms I'll find my way that I had lost But I remember now All my scars all that cost I carried it all it's time to rise above Rise unbound Like a part of the game I'm suspended in a frame A tool in the hands of fate Made of love and hate Through the raging storms Found my way that I had lost But I remember now All my scars all that cost I carried it all it's time to rise above Rise above Above it all!

Fell into deep hole of sadness Nothing dear to hold on to Just a fleeting glimpse of hope That behind this wall Behind this wall of numbness Primal flame awaits Can it melt the chain of heartache Ignite the embers of desire Relit the fire Like a phoenix From the ashes You will live to see a new dawn And when the night meets new day Through the flames you'll find your way From Ash to ash But Avoid the dust In ash you might find the ember That can ignite the fire Just feed it right A small crack appeared in the wall Could it be a breakthrough I have to tear it brick by brick Or i will never Turn a page for new chapter Make a vow with myself To learn from all my mistakes And have the courage to be born again Like a phoenix From the ashes You will live to see a new dawn And when the night meets new day Through the flames you'll find your way From Ash to ash But Avoid the dust In ash you might find the ember That can ignite the fire Just feed it right Ash to ash dust to dust The cycle never ends The gift of life is precious Don't let it go to waste You Soon will be reborn As someone else you never knew Relit the fire Or fade away Relit the fire Reincarnate
