Sometimes Phoenix (Live From Kamp Kaleidoscope, 2021)

[Verse 1]
Ashes of potential
I’m afraid to let them down
Inconsistent wonder
I will die to keep this crown

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?

[Chorus]
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here
Alone here

[Verse 2]
Destined to be distant
I'll come home when I'm complete
I'm finishing my statues
I'm sculpting all my selfish dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?

[Chorus]
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here

[Bridge]
I'm soaring now, adrift in sound
The silence grows, it fills my soul
I miss my home, I miss myself
I want to land, I want to be
But I can't escape
Aching with pride
Castles of clouds
I need to climb
Out of control
Spiraling dive
Flames in a flash
Burning the sky

[Outro]
Cold from the crash
Grounded and free
Embers of birth
Rising in me
Cold from the crash
Humbled and free
A witness to your
Pure poetry
