Phoenix - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Nightmare on Elm Street, feared I'd stay trapped inside

I feared wasting my youth and my potential in writing

But I've been washed clean in the river I cried

And in the midst of the madness is where I honed my style

Now I'll sift through the pain to find worth in the while

Heart like the sun and tongue like a whip

A spell that can't be undone and a force to be reckoned with

The dawn is right where I left it

Found peace in whеre I've been

Guess it's truе, where were broken is where the light gets in

Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in

So as the bird is freed from her cage

The dreams I thought had died sat up in their graves

The hurricane brings one thousand words for the taking

So it goes, darling, the writer thanks the rain

And the day I break the moon will stop making waves

So as I breathe in the first light of day, I ask

What is grace?

Where do I find it?

And how do I make it stay?

The dawn is right where I left it

Found peace in where I've been

Guess its true, where were broken is where the light gets in

Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in

And I'm not much for religion, but I think my prayer is this page

I've carved confessions by hand, have given notebooks his name

I've learned vulnerability is strength and forgiveness is power

I built a house on a hill to feel the sun at all hours

I once burned down in flames then rose up from the ground

I guess the legends are true, I'm a Phoenix now

The dawn is right where I left it

Found peace in where I've been

Guess its true, where were broken is where the light gets in

Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in
