lyrics

I look into a mirror and I see my spirit break
Voices reach my ears, their breath upon me 'til I wake
And they say "Why do you hide in the night?"

Clouds forming above me as I'm lying on the sand
You may never love me, but I've begun to understand
I've been a star, I've been a dove, I've spent my life swimming to land
But this is not what I had planned...

Digging deeper into mantel as a burning coal
Stir you from the inside somehow to ignite your soul
I wonder why did I hide from the light all this time?

Words becoming clearer and my head's starting to ache
Thunder drawing nearer warning of an earthquake
And I say:

What would become of me if I broke my own spell?
Would I wake from this dream I have come to love so well?
Will I be in paradise or descend into hell?
Will I be standing where I fell?

I have been shaken, I have been torn
I have been burned and I have been worn
I sunk into darkness and I have mourned my friend
Now in this storm, I am born again

Out of the ashes, out of the dust
No longer a siren driven by lust
Now I am a firebird calling your name
Lighting the sky up in flames!

I am an ocean, yet I'm burning up inside
Always in motion, yet you are always still
I cannot stir you and believe me I have tried
I want you to love me, yet I know you never will

You cannot see and you cannot smell
You'll never be free and I'm bound by a spell
But now I'm an ocean that's risen too high
A bird who has finally learned how to fly
I am the lightning piercing the sky!
I am the source of the glass in your eye!
And I say:

In my mind, you are so intoxicating
In my dreams, YOU FASCINATE
But in my world, you're just a dream
I am real and I am free
