Enjoy the illusion you know phoenix rising
You knew this scary phase was coming
So it’s really not surprising
Phoenix Rising out of the past Phoenix Rising out of the ash
Enjoy the confusion you’ll miss it when it’s passed
You’ll brag and laugh about it soon
So just live it while it lasts
Phoenix Rising out of the past Phoenix Rising out of the ash
Enjoy little caterpillar for what it’s really worth
It’s time to be a butterfly it’s time for your rebirth
Phoenix Rising out of the past Phoenix Rising out of the ash
Enjoy the sensations however strange they seem
If you can’t conjur up a laugh then go ahead and scream
Phoenix Rising out of the past Phoenix Rising out of the ash

Wonderful things
We could go skating we could go far
We could go dating and play the guitar
We could go anywhere we could be free
We could go dancing just wait and see
These are a few of the wonderful things we can do
We could go climbing, climbing so high
We’d go free falling through the blue sky
We could cross oceans or deserts so dry
Through valleys so deep o’er mountains so high
These are a few of the wonderful things we can do
We could go sailing on the high seas
We could go skiing we could climb trees
We could be feeling as we want to be
We could be healing so happy and free
These are a few of the wonderful things we can do

Change of Space
Been living in your shadow postponing all the sorrow
Which I knew had to come which I didn't want to face
Now I' ve made up my mindvthere will be no other times
This is not my kind of fun and I need a change of space
Been hated, so humiliated by your vicious drunken role
You mask the evil content with the lie of lost control
But the game is old, the game is cold We’ve played it to the end
And you're not gonna change So you'd better change your friends
I've played the devils advocate the coward and the hypocrite
The crazy scientist who hides the zombie neath the roof
The monster wants to take control destroy my spirit, take my soul He'll not succeed in this I‘ll destroy him with the truth
The trap was oh so subtle the bait was rock ’n roll
The brat inside the bottle the incarcerated soul
He sets the snare when sober then he springs it when he’s spaced
Better change your tactics, hunter cos this fox has you outpaced
Like an evil feudal overlord on a pixie masquerade
They may all fall for it still but for me it 's far too late
Cos when you' re drunk you blow your cover I can see through the charade
Little boy go back to mother What you call harmony I call hate.
The fruit of all the revelry was hypocrisy and tyranny
I' ll taste of it no longer it's so bitter and so stale
The bully and the coward was the story up to now
Think I'll start another chapter think I' ll change this sorry tale

My Way Your Way

My way, your way
In the start we thought we were the best at every game
But at the time a flock of them were thinking just the same
In the start we thought we had the whole wide world to gain
But then we ran amok and we caused a lot of pain
CHORUS
You wanted your way, I want it my way
We’re really very different but we thought we were the same
You wanted your way I made a getaway
That’s the way it is
And there ain’t anyone to blame
And now we’ve had some time to think I think we both agree
We’re really better off this way; call it destiny
I know that I screwed up I just wish it wasn’t true
and despite the things I said I really wish the best for you
Sometimes I a victim sometimes I' m a scapegoat
Sometimes the pain and anger seem to well up in my throat
But other times I’m really cool I really couldn’t care
‘bout all the 'ifs' and 'buts' and 'whens' and 'why' and 'who' and 'where!'
You want it your way I want it my way
We’re really very different but we thought we were the same
