LYRICS:

Am I seeing double?
Am I withdrawn?
Depositing lyrics into a love song
A Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come?

Am I pruning roses from a dead bush?
A soldier running late for the ambush?
Readying the deck for a storm thats long gone?

(Is it too late?)
It's never-ending, but never-the-less
I'm the first one to second my guess
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember

And every step I take, got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive but I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
Like a Phoenix rising up from ash and ember

Am I reaching out for something that i can't grab?
Something infinitely splitting into two halves?
Is there something I forgot that I can't remember?

Am I swimming in a river that was man-made?
Demolishing a road that was just paved?
It's like trying to catch a june-bug in late December

Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung?
Am I simply gonna finish where I started from?
Is the future just a past that i'll never outrun?

And every step I take, got the devil to repay
I'll never make it out alive but I won't surrender
Had to take it day by day, had to feel a heartbreak
Like a Phoenix I was born from ash and ember
