Phoenix
Anna Diorio Lyrics

While the world was burning
During a time of chaos and destruction in the world

I was in the woods just watching, learning
I was observing and gaining knowledge from nature

Waiting my turn when
Waiting for an opportunity or moment to take action

Everything I knew disappeared
All my previous knowledge or understanding became irrelevant

I was urgently searching
I was motivated to find answers

For the answers, only found questions
Discovered new inquiries instead of obtaining solutions

Caught in a dance with the darkness and the heavens
Engaged in a struggle between negative and positive forces

Tryna get the spark lit, matchstick's wet and
Attempting to ignite inspiration but facing obstacles

I just ate a bunch of mushrooms with my best friend
I consumed drugs with someone close to me

Let's bend time and space
Changing our perception of time and reality

All the elements my mind erased
My consciousness became devoid of preconceived notions

My rhyme is grace amazing race
My poetry expresses my skill in a competitive manner

To the moment of epiphany I'm taking space
Preparing myself for a sudden realization

I know I do it real good, tryna make it great
I acknowledge my capability and strive for excellence

But oh the time it takes
Despite my efforts, it takes a while to achieve greatness

I was satiated by mistakes
My failures satisfied me temporarily

And I debate, the vibe is straight fly
I'm conflicted about the atmosphere or feeling

Let's wait, and just roll with it
Let's be patient and adapt to the situation

Roll another up, put your whole soul in it
Smoke more marijuana and express yourself fully

Life on this globe we all got a role in it
We all have a purpose as humans

So I get up on the mic and unroll the script
I perform my poetry and express my ideas

I flipped, I flapped, I fumbled
I stumbled and made mistakes

Found out that's just the way that the motherfuckin' cookie gotta crumble
I learned that failure is part of the process

Humble, sometimes
I try to remain modest

Still bring sunshine
I maintain a positive attitude

Kill with one line
I can excel in my craft with a single sentence

We are one life
We are all connected as human beings

I don't want to reveal anything else
I do not wish to disclose further information

You've just got to get out there and find out for yourself
You must experience something to truly understand it

What you seek is seeking you
Your desires are looking for you as well

The beauty peaking through
The attractiveness or wonder is subtly apparent

This whisper thin veil, reality
Reality is delicate or easily disrupted

What you see is all illusion
Reality is not always what it seems

A fleeting glimpse, a movement
A brief moment, a shift

In a grander symphony called the universe
Part of a larger, complex existence

This human curse is still a blessing
Despite struggles, being alive is still fortunate

Fill it with your self-expression
Express yourself using your unique voice

Watch the whole world change right before your eyes
Observe the transformation caused by your expression

It's no surprise
The outcome is not unexpected

When you rise
When you achieve success or improvement

Sit back watch it fly
Observe the success with ease

Watch me rise
I will achieve success
