Honor By August

Phoenix

My body's weak and I'm struggling
This self-destruction's torturing my mind
There's beauty in this agony
I'm building up a remedy
And soon I will emerge from my cocoon

All this loss and all this pain will turn around
(If you) Shake it up, make it beautiful
In life, we must die before we can be reborn

Break my heart and make it stronger
Everyday feels so much longer
When you're down
Give me all your suffering, diseased, and ragged beggars
Please cut me open deep until I bleed

Chorus

Get up and rise
Spread your wings and fly
The ashes will burn from your flame
Send a gift up to the sun
And signal all the damage is done
