Originally written in 2013 for IceChrystalls, but was more suited to iScat.

lyrics

Verse 1
The desolation of our heartland
Can leave our spirits shattered like broken glass
A blend of lies and empty promises
A recipe that’s charred and burned
Everybody change (Everybody change)
Even subtle change (to turn our failing lives around)
And we rearrange (or disengage our hearts and minds)
Before we find it’s all too late

Chorus
I don’t know if you care any more
But I’d like to think you’d spare a thought for me
And I don’t care if you know any more
But there’s none so blind as those who will not see

Verse 2
And in shadows of this wasteland
We try to plant our hopes on solid ground
But all too often we look up to you
Our aspirations sinking into quicksand
Everybody change (Everybody change)
Even subtle change (to turn our failing lives around)
And we rearrange (or disengage our hearts and minds)
Our dreams subside and bring us crashing back down

Chorus

... what it is that you’re doing to me

Bridge
I'm coming out of the fire
Into the blue
Up from the ashes
I am a phoenix

....and I have flown so high that i can see

Chorus

Bridge
