leave me alone

The Tower

This is an anthem for anyone who’s reached their absolute limit. We all know what it's like to be trapped in the ashes of a life that burned down, feeling like the 'final, quiet curtain' is closing. Phoenix is the moment you reject that ending. It’s a powerful, raw commitment to rebirth; a furious declaration that the life-altering struggle is not a defeat, but the very fuel for your next, stronger incarnation. The Phoenix doesn't just rise—it explodes.

[VERSE 1: The Wreckage]
I'm standing on the wreckage of a life that burned down,
The foundation is fractured beneath this ghost town.
I ran every mile until the air left my chest,
Now there's nothing to win and no place left to rest.
They built the walls high, they stole the light and the name,
And I'm digging through ash, but the fuel's not the same.
It's just dust on my tongue, just the taste of defeat,
A whispered command to finally retreat.
I can feel the cold closing, I can hear the dull sound,
Of the final, quiet curtain coming down.

[VERSE 2: The Decision]
I felt the last flicker, the breath trying to leave,
The simplest comfort was to simply not grieve.
They say surrender is quiet, and the darkness is deep,
A permanent promise you don't have to keep.
But I saw the cold barrel aimed right at my name,
And the thought of their triumph just started the flame.
You don't get my soul, not without a damn fight,
I am the one who decides how to leave the light.
I'll be the explosion, the noise you can't kill,
A choice made in fire, a furious, final will.

[CHORUS]
I had a choice to surrender, or rage against the wire,
I used the last breath in my lungs to fan the fire.
If I must burn down this battlefield, then watch me fly,
I am the Phoenix of my ashes, and I will not die!

[BRIDGE]
This isn't mercy, this heat is my core,
A promise to be what I wasn't before.
I won't rise clean, but I'll rise from the smoke,
The chains that once bound me are finally broke.
I will never lie down to a promise of peace,
The effort is freedom, the will is release.
I will decide my life and doom.

[CHORUS]
I had a choice to surrender, or rage against the wire,
I used the last breath in my lungs to fan the fire.
If I must burn down this battlefield, then watch me fly,
I am the Phoenix of my ashes, and I will not die!

[OUTRO]
My life, my doom.
My life is my own.
I am the Phoenix.
