Phoenix

from Detained by Jake Lennon

/

lyrics

Maybe if I refuse to eat
then you will hear my voice
I'll take the pain that they began
and prove my final choice
maybe if I refuse to drink
and make the dear earth moist
I'll sink towards asylum and rejoice

Maybe if I refuse to speak
I'll have a chance to sew
express the secret suffering
that they will never know
maybe if I can pierce and pull
my lips forever closed
the feeling of dissent will somehow grow

Maybe if I can light a fire
something here will change
I'll find a use for my lost heart
that's twisted and deranged
maybe if I can light the way
with passion dear and strange
the phoenix will arise out of the cage
