June Phoenix

In the dark, I look like I just might disappear

With my hands waving out, wondering if this was real

When the years could mean everything, light moving time

I don't know how to grow up and start wasting mine

I know that I have been a challenge in this life

I have too many teeth, I have found ways to bite

I could bite with my arms, take the tires out and run

Slash them up with my mind, don't even need to touch

I just think about you

And the ways that you've grown up

I think about you

And the ways that you've lost

Soften the waves

You've painted for me

Yourself in the lines

But you make believe

I don't know how to give

When I give all I give

I get trampled

I am trying to write something funny

To get a good rating this time

But I'm not funny

Did you laugh about the dreams that keep me up at night?

I think you're staring across the room, but you've been dead in my life

For five years, I just stare at this shirt with your face

On it, thinking of you and somehow that makes me feel okay

So I will just be inside wasting all of these years

Hoping that maybe this June you will reappear

Like a free bird breathing, a call through the fire

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix
