Silence shields us from the pain
When nothing is said at all
Fire burns with such a flame
And ice can burn so cold
Darkness fills up every space behind us all
Like phoenix rising from the flames
Like pain that spins in fire
Like ice that burns and cools the heat
Can you feel it rising higher
So cover me in darkness cool
And let this anger burn
It protects me from the pain I feel
Like phoenix rising we will never learn
I wish sometimes you'd take me back
It's hell without your grace
I have to much baggage I must pack
And not enough space
To continue with this facade
Like phoenix rising from the flames
Like pain that spins in fire
Like ice that burns and cools the heat
Can you feel it rising higher
So cover me in darkness cool
And let this anger burn
Everybody wants to have their say
But no one wants to listen
They're too busy with their lies
To hear what they are missing
So let it go, just let it go
It doesn't matter anyhow
We're all sinking as fast anyway
Like phoenix rising from the flames
Like pain that spins in fire
Like ice that burns and cools the heat
Can you feel it rising higher
So cover me in darkness cool
And let this anger burn
It protects me from the pain I feel
Like phoenix rising we will never learn
So don't deny it anymore
You know the reasons and the score
These feelings just won't go away
Like phoenix rising from the flames...

"So cover me in darkness cool
And let this anger burn"
Ultimately, my fave lines...I thought it was a little bit akward in some parts, but overall I really liked it. Great write and good luck!
God bless,
~Praise~
