(Verse 1)

When I rise from the ashes it ain’t cause I died

It’s cause you died and it makes me feel alive (I'm alive)

Now I find myself on the other side getting high

Not high off drugs but high off words and love

She my white dove, music my golden glove

I use it to fuse my thoughts with my rhythm

Can’t express em well enough so I spit em

This how I turn self inflicted pain into health and gain, let it fall like rain

Had a lot of beasts to tame and now I’m born again

I’ve been far away before but now I want be a friend

Someone you can call when you spent

Need someone to talk to, i’m on deck

But I’ll warn you myself, often I’m a wreck

And that ain’t counting the debt, I like to count my breaths

See how far I can get before thinking of death

That’s a vice I been tryna leave for dead

In a bed of leaves now I better leave

Before I turn back that leaf

(Chorus)

I know you know that I fell down to die

I was burnt from the insides but now I feel so alive

And I know you know I implode from time to time

I'm gonna get up, win that fight, feel like I’m burning so damn bright

I know you know that I fell down to die

I was burnt from the insides but now I feel so alive

And I know you know I implode from time to time

I'm gonna get up, win that fight, feel like I’m burning so damn bright

(Verse 2)

Brighter than a noon sun burning through a rainbow

Like a flood of colors, close your eyes when I spangle

I used to hide with a ball and chain on my ankle

Now I feel like there’s no place I can’t go

Spiritual geometric path, shapes appear less sharp

I’m a father but light can’t cast shadow in the dark

I’m approaching everyone from a new angle, still check my obliques but I trust more people than I used to

I’m starting conversations like they do in literature

Not just existing in the room like a piece of furniture

I was feeling plastic, artificial to organic vessel

Let that be a lesson for anyone stuck in their nestle, yea

Build a castle, use love as stones, kindness as mortar

If someone trespasses, don’t banish them from your borders

That might be your first glance, most people deserve a second chance

So give it to em even if life is giving you the hands

(Chorus)

I know you know that I fell down to die

I was burnt from the insides but now I feel so alive

And I know you know I implode from time to time

I'm gonna get up, win that fight, feel like I’m burning so damn bright

I know you know that I fell down to die

I was burnt from the insides but now I feel so alive

And I know you know I implode from time to time

I'm gonna get up, win that fight, feel like I’m burning so damn bright
