Lyrics

Little figurine You carry the weight of my dreams Put my faith in you, high hopes Light a match, become the poet Phoenix, set me on fire Burn all the schemes All but one desire Take whatโ€™s left Itโ€™ll rise again Iโ€™ll let it in, Iโ€™ll let it all burn Like a lion roaring from the flame Candle in the wind that canโ€™t be tamed Iโ€™ll let the flare carry my pen and rule As I trade the piece of me that used to love you Iโ€™ll trade your broken promises for prose and verses Melodies from ashes, rhymes outburst How it burns to part with a piece of the soul Thatโ€™s the fate of the poet Take these lips of mine that used to want you And Iโ€™ll trade these broken arms that used to hold you, darling Iโ€™ll let the flare carry my pen and rule A heart that bled for you sings so sweet and true A forever-framed piece of our love to be told Thatโ€™s the fate, deep in the soul The fate of the poet
