Phoenix

Phoenix

Ever wondered how hard it is 

To be on the top of the food chain 

The hours that you dwell 

Or the nights with no sleep 

Gosh how hard is it at the top 

With no personal life and how the world is 

You would always have a bulls-eye tagged on your back 

How rough the ride would have been 

But was the rough ride worth it 

Goddamn right it was 

From the nights of grinding to the lost holidays 

Did it bring him closer to the top

Life is all the same for everyone 

Yet we all differ 

The world is all the same 

But it is the hours we dwell that matter 

We get broken at times 

Broken and battered beyond repair

Lack of self belief has been the sight for others 

And the vultures lurking over our broken souls 

You have to be like the phoenix 

To learn how to crumble 

And to rise from the ashes with flair 

The mirror tells us the reality of who we are 

And how we landed up at the bottom 

The hunger and the thirst of success would hit them soon 

But would they be able to go through the pain like you did 

The pain and the blood soaked route you chose 

No one can go through 

Except for those who are in sheer desperation 

To topple the top of the food chain 

The kingdom that you aspire 

Is made of more than just bricks and mortars

With the will and the grit being the basic foundation 

And the blood and tears being the paint

Life is never easy to reach the top 

But isn't that the rule 

Either to hunt or be hunted
