Time - Dead Phoenix Down lyrics

[Verse 1: Time] Pick yourself up off that Montauk beach I'm sure your origami frown earned every crease If you don't ever spread those wings you'll never reach Those great heights you seek, fly don't preach Surrounded by bulging eyes and bloated bodies The oil in your wings looks like expired coffee Your body wasn't meant for twice used syringes You are needed, you are not the future's appendix Remember the one's who wear masks possess smiles that are fake They'll hold your hand and will be the first to tie you to the stake Break those chains your mouth made, you're a flying funeral pyre There's truth in your eyes, i hope your tail burns the mouth of all the liars Your wings make the sun jealous, your breath melted all of Saturn's snow Rise up out of the Ganges, and k** all of the rapists before you go Are your ashes made of bodies or burned books? You said see for yourself but i'd be blinded if i looked [Hook: Time] Pick yourself up off that beach phoenix Pick yourself up off that beach i mean it Pick yourself up you will fly again Even if you pick yourself up just to die again No matter who wins or loses life clashes Eventually everything will return to ashes d**h, decay, maggots, whatever.., Who really cares, ideas live forever [Verse 2: Time] In the winter do phoenixes spread their wings and fly south? Is that a nest or a coffin? there's a corpse in your mouth My tongue's a shovel, i speak 6 feet deep Am i talking to the dead? or do you keep your eyes open when you sleep Beautiful statue, i'm sorry Medusa looked at you The truth doesn't matter cause on this planet it's taboo Is this the rough draft or is this fantasy final? I need the down of a phoenix to resurrect the black rhino They wanna spray paint you gold and turn into clay Then mold you into a calf and worship you all day I like your far away stare, it takes experience to earn it I gave you my list of regrets, you put it in your stomach called furnace Your nest is the earth, what's inside of those eggs? You say it's the void, a black hole with legs Is it true that a phoenix outlives 9 ravens? Your wings could take out atlas and make the constellations cave in The satellites all surround, an electric tear falls The static from your wings short circuits and dissolves them all What's the meaning of thought? why do we have discussions? She says unravel your DNA, burn your ego into nothing Are your ashes made out of burned books or people? She say everything's carbon, all illusions are equal [Hook: Time] Pick yourself up off that beach phoenix Pick yourself up off that beach i mean it Pick yourself up you will fly again Even if you pick yourself up just to die again No matter who wins or loses life clashes Eventually everything will return to ashes d**h, decay, maggots, whatever.., Who really cares, ideas live forever
