The Phoenix Rises

I was born of the water
Rebirthed in the flames
I die and I rise daily
It is a beautiful, perpetual transformation
I am the one they call Phoenix
I rise to show you the way
To show you that you are powerful beyond measure
There is no inadequacy in your hopes, nor your dreams, nor your existence
We were all created for a divine purpose
We are the future
We will not suffer the same fate as those that have lied to us about our powers and our giftings
There is no more hiding
There is no more running from your light
There is no more fear
Only fighting
Join me in the fight
In the fight for our dreams

Your deep dark secrets
Are now big bright shining stars
I can see you clearly
Just look at all the skeletons fall
You've been diggin’ your hell for a while
You've been dancin’ in the flames of your guile
Tried to fool me once add me to the pile
But I saw all of the lies behind your joker smile
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar Liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Don't you ever get tired of bein’ the burn, baby?
That thing called love
That thing called love left you long ago
Packed its bags
And set out on the yellow brick road
Oh there’s nothin’ you can do to harm me
I built this wall with a seven-nation army
Oh and honey I’m not lookin’ for your sorrys
Cause your sorry ass ain't really sorry
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar Liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Don't you ever get tired of bein’ the burn, baby?
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar Liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Don't you ever get tired of bein’ the burn, baby?
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (Liar)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Liar)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Don't you ever get tired of bein' the burn, baby?)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (Liar)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Liar)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Don't you ever get tired of bein' the burn, baby?)
Don't you ever get tired of bein' the burn, baby?
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar Liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Don't you ever get tired of bein’ the burn, baby?
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar Liar
Your heart is on fire
Liar liar
Your heart is on fire
Don't you ever get tired of bein’ the burn, baby?

You're a fire
A bit of lightnin'
I wanna love ya
But I'm frightened
You pull me under
You take me over
You pull me closer
I’ll never know ya
You're a stranger
Lookin’ for love
And I'm No Angel (oooh ooh)
I’m No Angel (oooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh)
When the night falls
A little danger
I blow the candles
Forbidden saviors
You pull me under
You take me over
You pull me closer
I’ll never know ya
We are strangers
Searchin’ for love
We’re no angels (oooh ooh)
We’re no angels (oooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh)
If I trust you tonight
No we're not innocent
But we're still alive
For the rest of tonight
Our love is infinite
In paradise
What do you want from me?
I'll give you anything
Give me your company
These are my broken wings
What do you want from me?
I'll give you anything
Give me your company
These are my broken wings

Sometimes we war with ourselves
Screaming from the pits of our own hells
Feeling like no one out there cares
Suffocating gasping for your air
You’re at the edge of the line
Will you wave your flag or fight
Don’t hide now don’t run for cover
What about all of the others
You’re fighting for you, and fighting for them
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
You betta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
We’re all infected with disease
Fading from our own disbelief
Fearing all that we are
Tortured and broken from all your battle scars
You’re at the edge of your mind
Will you wave your flag or fight
Don’t hide now don’t run for cover
What about your sisters and brothers
You’re fighting for you and fighting for them
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
You betta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
We’ve been cursed since birth and sent straight to work
Groomed to come in last and never in first
Time goes on it seemed to get worse
Mask all the hurt with a smile and a smirk
Damage that caused only God really knows
Seek the Most High to deal with these lows
Can’t get a hold of my mind take control
I climbed from the bottom of the totem pole
Despite all the spite that was aimed at my life
Cards was dealt I got a hand that I like
I was handed a light at the end of the tunnel
Use to cry me a river now I only see a puddle
With life I rock and roll no more singing the blues
Turned up the claps and drowned out the boos
As long as I move there's no way to lose
Haven't paid off my debt but I paid all my dues
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta fight for your life
Because you’re someone else’s light
You gotta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
You betta FIGHT (Fight Fight Fight) (Fight for your life)
Fight for your dreams
Fight for your life
Fight for your dreams
Fight for your life
You betta FIGHT
You betta FIGHT
FIGHT!
FIGHT for your life

Father can you save my soul
Tell me where did I go wrong
I don't wanna lose control
I don’t think I can hold on
I said these dreams in the night
They scream they fight
They call my name out loud
Fire in my eyes
And I can't hide
It's time to let me out
To the other side
To my destiny
I left yesterday
To the other side
To my destiny
I said yes to me
Father I apologize
Something has come over me
I disappeared into the light
Searching for eternity
I said these dreams in the night
They scream they fight
They call my name out loud
Fire in my eyes
And I can't hide
It's time to let me out
To the other side
To my destiny
I left yesterday
To the other side
To my destiny
I said yes to me
To the other side
To my destiny
I left yesterday
To the other side
To what's left of me
Nothin' left to say
Tiptoe through the wilderness
I cannot hide
Some days I wonder
How I'm still alive
Even in the darkness
I still feel the light
Someday we'll make it
To the other side
To the other side
To my destiny
I left yesterday
To the other side
To my destiny
I said yes to me
To the other side
To my destiny
I left yesterday
To the other side
To what's left of me
Nothin' left to say
(Take me, take me, take me) To the other side
To the other side
(Take me, take me, take me) To the other side

It’s been hard finding my peace
All these whispers will not cease
I’m out of my mind locked up inside
And my demons no longer hide, hide, hide
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
They say I could die if I inhale
They don’t even know if it’s truth or tale
Better keep your distance in your town
Or you might be six feet under the ground
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
Every day is a little bit harder
Every night gets a little bit darker
Who knows the end except the Author
So tonight I cast my fears right here on this altar, altar, altar
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

I don’t wear this cape for you
Won’t destroy a whole city to get to you
I don’t wanna be your very first call
From this pedestal I’m bound to fall
Oh I can feel it the pressure’s on
Baby I can’t be your all in all
I’m Wonder and a Woman in uniform
But if you don’t run now, I’ll bring the Storm
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own
You’re gonna wish you never met me (uh huh)
Wish you would have let me be (I'm a nightmare)
Not sorry to have disappointed you
But I do think the truth is overdue
I come with way too many issues
Both current and back, a saga or two
This a limited series you’re thumbin' through
And at the end of it all, the villain is you
I can’t be your hero baby (I can't be your hero)
I can’t be your hero (I don't wanna be your hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (there's a darkness takin' over)
I can’t be your hero baby (I can't be your hero)
I can’t be your hero (I don't wanna be your hero)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I need some savin', come save me)
Here we are this is the end
You‘re left with a broken heart to mend
I really tried to tell you just who I am (who I am)
But you didn’t really seem to give a damn (didn't give a damn)
You better run run run as fast as you can (you better run)
This didn’t go the way that you planned
You better run run run as fast as you can
Cuz my Venom will devour your Spider-Man
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (I can't be your hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (there's a darkness, it's takin' over)
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (I can't, I just can't)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I need some savin' of my own)
I can’t be your hero baby (is anybody listenin'?)
I can’t be your hero (I'm not a hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (is anybody listenin'?)
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (don't wanna be your hero baby)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I'm an Anti-hero)

Who knows the end except the Author
So tonight I cast my fears right here on this altar, altar, altar
Jay (yeah)
Vincent (yeah)
B (yeah yeah)
New strange
New games
New names
You’ve changed
No I’ve been the same
They blame
Point fingers and try shame
I came to take aim and drive tanks
No more
New wars
We kick doors
No pause
Not ours
They want yours
Record
Reward
The victors
Hardcore
Now I’m back to settle the score
Every mind is a casualty
Tell me what’s really happening
Losing touch with reality
Teacher questioned my sanity
Politicians is rambling
My conditions are damaging
Scrambling but I’m managing
Turning men into mannequins
New dimension I’m standing in
Filled with glitches and cameramen
All my pictures is vanishing
More prescriptions and bandaging
Outer limits I’m traveling
Very vivid imagining
Imma need some examining
Universe is unraveling
(Brielle!)
I don't even know how to rap on this
Goin' calm (go HAM on this)
Been livin' life so passively
Just SMH what happened B?
Nothin' seems to matter see
Lost my mom lost half of me
Now my ever after
I'm livin' that unhappily
Invisibly essentially
Went off the grid intentionally
Eventually inside of me
Poor habits formed habitually
Admittedly I probably could've handle things so differently
Specifically me deal with me more gently and tenderly
Put all that in my rearview
Take all that and the fear too
Yeah mama I hear you
Thankful I persevered through
Whatever I may be facin'
Promise I'm never cavin'
These dreams don't have expiration
Deserve all my dedication
So I'mma get to it
Though I've been through it
Nothin's gonna stop me from makin' this music
I'mma get to it
Though I've been through it
Nothin's gonna stop me I'm just gettin' to it
Don’t you see the signs?
Don’t you hear the lies?
Watched so many cry
Watched so many die from the sidelines
Don’t you see the crime?
Don’t see the pain?
Don’t you see the gain?
All they want is fame not a soul remains!
We’ve been livin' in fear
Demons chasin' the rear
Suicidal thoughts, negativity
Are all up in my ear
Now let’s just reframe
There’s a purpose you came
Every day you gotta reignite the flame
Readjust your aim
I’m a Phoenix risen
A product of their derision
I’ve made my own decision
To live this life with precision
In March I lost my vision
Here’s my story in concision
All that’s left in my left
Is what God deems His provision
And with these new eyes
A new outlook on life
I’m only focused on flight
It’s too late I’ve set my sights
Can’t be afraid of this power
This ain’t no time to cower
You better fight for your life
You better go hard until the final hour
And when it’s said and done
And the victory is won
This year wasn’t to fold me
But to teach me to overcome
And when it’s said and done
And the victory is won
This year wasn’t to fold me
But to teach me to overcome (yuh yuh)
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
This is the dawning of a new age
This is the dawning of a new strange
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
This is the dawning of a new day
This is the dawning of a new way
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

Élishia Sharie Los Angeles, California
Electrifying, daring, and hypnotizing are just a few words used to describe Neo Alternative Rock artist Élishia
Sharie.
Élishia Sharie effortlessly synthesizes elements of 80’s classic rock with 90’s alt rock to create an aggressive, cross-generational sound that she contrasts with a soulful vocal reminiscent of Tina Turner and Betty Davis.
