Before I came here nearly a year ago, I began writing this, didnt go back to it until months after that
I enjoy everyone’s lyrics in our family and thought while reading a few on here that maybe it was time i showed my one first real attempt at something lyrical. I was thinking of fort minor’s believe me as I wrote so some idea came from there.and also these:
anyway feel free to comment/give feedback on it,
Firebird-
Think about who we were
on the same road like a firebird
Felt like we had it made, finish line flyin our way
We were gonna get there, get to paradise
Whoda thought none of that would suffice
whyd you do me wrong
Part the fault’s my own cause hell I saw it all along
That warning flashed in my face
Shoulda known we couldn’t finish this race
Cause you couldn’t see couldn’t realize
whyd you take it for granted, that was our demise
had what all them fuckers want but never see
Whyd they steer you down this road without me?
Look at what there was
Look at what there aint no more
That firebird popped a wheel blew a gasket no more pedal to the floor
All that’s left are fumes, memories of roads long gone
All that’s left is us rusting from the toxic lyrics in this song
they can flash quarter miles n burn rubber
But show me one whos a true lover
I hear you say theyre free they don’t go through strife
But we we coulda finished that race the grand tour we call life
Don’t forget though you knew me well
Im a down and dirty mother fucker cant you tell
pops taught me not to throw the towel
said don’t go down that alley, boy you gotta rally
You don’t just crush the scrap, avoid the trap
Add new sparks straighten that chassis polish that body
Get your hands dirty bring that shit back to glory
But Look at us now
Look at what there aint no more
That firebird popped a wheel blew a gasket no more pedal to the floor
All that’s left are fumes, memories of roads long gone
All that’s left is us rusting from the toxic lyrics in this song
fuck that’s the problem that’s my pain
Its in my nature to fix, to wipe away the rain
Yet you left that firebird stranded and abandoned, left to rust on an old backroad
You left it choking, dying on its own fumes
now whos to say what you do or don’t deserve
Do I get down to it, rise it from the ashes
or do I let it go let it rot in its own ruins
All that’s left are fumes, memories of roads long gone
All that’s left is us rusting from the toxic lyrics in this song
I like that comparison between life and the “phoenix”… and yeah we could rise from the ashes! 
nowhere near 
thank you!
