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)

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

about

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.
