about

Turn it up!

lyrics

I got lost
On the way down to Phoenixville
I followed the signs
Took me back to the top of the hill

Song sounds the same
As it did a hundred years ago
The ending is quiet
The beginning is slow

I came here thinkin’ I could never fall
As long as I had somethin’ to say
The street was busy when I heard the call
Let the Firebird light up the way

Who carries the weight
Of a fallen star?
Who can open the door
To where the chosen are?

Who can drown out
The one who wants to sing?
How can you burn
Such a beautiful thing?

Who am I to taste it?
Who would try to waste it?
The sky is hot and higher
Let me consume your fire

The day has come
The sky is clear
The curious waited
For another year
Thoughts are changing
Night is falling
Save your memory
Firebird is calling

I feel like the Firebird
I wanna be the Firebird
I feel like the Firebird
I am the Firebird
