My Phoenix lyrics
by David Bazan
[Verse 1]
I memorized the verses
And the names of every road
Then studying the history saw how badly things can go
And I thought you saw it too
I swear I learned it all from you
But now our home is burning and you don't have a clue
From a disappointed son
To the city that he loves
The flags you wave around have got me wondering
[Chorus]
My Phoenix
My Phoenix
If my Phoenix still shines
If my Phoenix will rise
[Verse 2]
If the vision of the Christ
My family sees
Is my blurry vision's greatest enemy
Then I still try to tune it in
When I get lonely
You know I chase around this desert because I think that's where you'll be
Whether high and lifted up
Or the dust becoming dust
Somehow I'm still in love
[Chorus]
With my Phoenix
My Phoenix
My Phoenix still shines
My Phoenix will rise
