lyrics

Phoenix Rising (Bipolar Trendsetter)
Skye Claire/Randi Thomas

Call me a bipolar trendsetter,
I’m feeling worse but I’m know I’m getting better.

Every day I fight to stand on my own two feet
I give away my heart but who’s here loving me?
Debating with my reflection the image that I see, is that me?

I’m a phoenix rising bird that’s flying high oh so high
I’m a phoenix rising oh I been fighting all of my life
I got ashes on my wings but you know I can still fly
The scars on my heart tell the world that I survived
Phoenix rising

Bittersweet victorious defeat
Toxic reminders when they don’t love me for me

Don’t know why I fight so hard for their disdain
I give them all I have and they just forget my name
Debating with my reflection the fighter that I see,
Is that me, is that me, am I finally flying free

Repeat Chorus

Who do I see looking back at me from that broken glass?
Who do I see looking back at me now

Call me a bipolar trendsetter.
Thought I was worse but I know I’m getting better…..
