lyrics

like a phoenix i rise out of the ashes
to set the whole world on fire
but its nothing i care about
no wrong to right tonight no burning desire

we tend to forget who sets the trends
who makes the lists and who’s left off them
but its all a lot of bloody nonsense, in my own defence, there’ll be no recompense this time

you choose to believe
you shook the trees and i fell out
but not on my head
left here for dead and I pine
left here for dead and I whine
and complain it will never be the same
never be the way that I want it again
so I whine

left to my own device I’m alone
left to my own device

pump on the brakes its every mistake you’ve made
coming right back at you
no bone to pick, no labels that stick
we are lying to ourselves and its making us sick
of this world and we ask ourselves why we exist

the clock strikes my face
as time fades away
no place to run there’s no quick escape
from this world and we ask ourselves why we resist

you choose to believe
you shook the trees and i fell out
but not on my head
left here for dead and I pine
left here for dead and I whine
and complain it will never be the same
never be the way that I want it again
so I whine

left to my own device I’m alone
left to my own device
