Phoenix Burnout Syndromes Lyrics Novels & Stories

"Blaze, huh? That's a nice name. But… do you think I'm just a useless phoenix?" Before I could answer, he kept going. "Raven used to say I was worthless, and all I did was make her hotter and more miserable, unlike Snowviper. "She said I ruined her life. She plucked out my feathers one by one. She stabbed me with needles, snapped my beak with pliers, and broke my wings. Then she threw me outside to die. Am I really nothing compared to Snowviper? Why did you choose me? Why would you want a useless phoenix like me?"

I knew what I had to do. Further and further I pulled away from the voices, the memories, the ghosts of my past. I knew I had to leave the trance. And in doing so, the pain I felt before only seemed the follow, only this time it was more concentrated, like Phoenix knew what my desire was and doing everything in its power to prevent it from happening. It pushed. I pushed harder. The pain was steadily climbing up, until I saw that very familiar red blotches, temporarily impair my sight. Until it cleared and I made eye contact with Isaiah, his eyes burning with pumping adrenaline.

I downed a swig of the fiery drink, feeling it scorch my throat. However, it did nothing to calm the storm inside. "I need to hit the restroom." I bolted for the bathroom and drenched my face with cold water, staring at the ghostly reflection with red-rimmed eyes. I locked eyes with my reflection, silently telling myself, "Keep it cool, just keep it cool. If you don't confess, no one will know." However, every time I blinked, I saw Winter as she was at that concert. I lingered in the bathroom for a solid 10 minutes, dragging my feet before I finally stepped back out.

The moment she tears her mouth away from mine to cry out with the strength of her release, I let go. Lights flash behind my eyes as my body explodes with the pleasure of being with my mates. I roar, feeling the earth shake underneath us as we fall apart, clinging to each other. I lift my head to the sky and realize that the light I see behind my eyes is actually Phoenix’s flames shooting up into the night sky like a volcanic eruption. When we’re both spent and Phoenix’s flames become burning embers flickering over both of our bodies, I collapse beside my mates and pull them against me.

"Fuck you, Anthony," Anthony was thrown off balance at my reply, and he quickly covered it up with a laugh, "All I see is in you, Zahra, is a drunk whore who just accepts life as it's thrown at you instead of fighting for yourself. Look at you, cowering behind a man who thinks with his third leg,"

She's just a girl and she's on fire Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway She's living in a world and it's on fire Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away Oh, oh oh oh oh She got both feet on the ground And she's burning it down Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh She got her head in the clouds And she's not backing down This girl is on fire This girl is on fire She's walking on fire This girl is on fire Looks like a girl but she's a flame

"His skin is peeling back like charred parchment, and I can hear the sound of his childhood turning into absolute ash." Phoenix didn’t just scream; her soul physically tore open as the obsidian walls of the cave dissolved into a nightmare she had spent four years trying to outrun. She wasn't standing in the Black Abyss anymore. She was back in the East Wing, but the air didn't smell like lavender and security—it reeked of burnt milk, scorched silver, and the sickeningly sweet, metallic tang of vaporized blood.

Archie warns me, I couldn’t look away from the man I love, the man I ruined. Two bodies lying on the ground, and one of them is my soul, “Phoenix…” I try to wake him up with my voice, he is closing his eyes. “Don’t shut them on me…” I shriek, I don’t know, I want to die. Don’t shut them on me, Don’t shut them on me, Don’t shut them on me, Don’t shut them on me, Don’t shut them on me, Don’t shut them on me, “Don’t shut them on me. Phoenix, please---”

Hush, little one, the phoenix sings, A lullaby of fiery wings, In darkness, light begins to shine, At morning's warmth, our hearts entwine. In turns of life, the phoenix grows, From ashes born, to radiant glows, A testament to life's grand plan, Eternal hope, in every span Hush, little one, the phoenix sings, A lullaby of fiery wings, In darkness, light begins to shine, At morning's warmth, our hearts entwine. As twilight's hush, descends once more, The phoenix's song, forevermore, In dreams, its spirit will ignite, Guiding you, through the dark of night
