June Phoenix

In the dark I look like
I just might disappear
With my hands waving out
Wondering if this was real

When the years could mean everything
Light moving time
I don't know how to grow up
And start wasting mine

I know that I have been
A challenge in this life
I have too many teeth
I have found ways to bite

I could bite with my arms
Take the tires out and run
Slash them up with my mind
Don't even need to touch

I just think about you
And the ways that you've grown up
I think about you
And the ways that you've lost
Soften the waves
You've painted for me
Yourself in the lines
But you make believe

I don't know how to give
When I give
All I give
I get trampled

I am trying to write something funny
To get a good rating this time
But i'm not funny

Did you laugh about the dreams
That keep me up at night
I think you're staring across the room
But you've been dead in my life
For five years
I just stare at this shirt
With your face
On it thinking of you
And somehow that makes me feel okay

So I will just be inside
Wasting all of these years
Hoping that maybe this june you will reappear
Like a free bird breathing
A call through the fire
You're a phoenix this time
You're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time
You're a phoenix this time
You're a phoenix
