Lyrics

[Intro] Lost where we can't escape Blind to our own decay Lamenting when we can't let go Until we heal, we die alone We hope that it's not too late I used to lie awake And sing this song Fear is a hollow place A dark beyond The coldest season that I've ever known But it's over now I've learned from my mistakes Times have changed And I have changed It's hard to recognize thе person that I was But a wasted life is still worth saving I was too scarеd to fight Forgiveness wouldn't come But it's over now I've learned from my mistakes But it's over now I've learned from my mistakes Times have changed [Verse 1] Those were the darkest days I never will return This I confess so you may learn Convey the truth, the pain So you won't have to hurt Please never second guess these words [Chorus] Like a phoenix rising from the dust I've come to lift you up Like a new day dawning from above in turn So you may learn A lesson from the things I've done A fable of the silent son [Verse 2] And buried way below We have our deep regrets With waves of anger to respect We face our demons with intentions to protect Our future angels for what's next [Chorus] Like a phoenix rising from the dust I've come to lift you up Like a new day dawning from above in turn So you may learn A lesson from the things I've done [Bridge] A fable of the silent son A warning of the things to come Foreshadowing the end for some Who dare and lose it all A fable of the silent son A warning of the things to come Forgive me for the things I've done I could have lost it all [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] I used to lie awake And sing this song Fear is the hollow place A dark beyond The coldest season that I've ever known But it's over now I've learned from my mistakes But it's over now I've learned from my mistakes [Chorus] Like a phoenix rising from the dust I've come to lift you up Like a new day dawning from above in turn So you may learn A lesson from the things I've done [Outro] A fable of the silent son A fable of the silent son A fable of the silent son
