A phoenix can't die
So why do you try
Over and over again
Can't you hear me cry
When we're losing time
Over and over again

I've watched you disappear
For years
Without a reason at all

I've wiped off all your tears
But you won't stop
'Till you're gone

A phoenix can't die
So why do you try
Over and over again
Can't you hear me cry
When we're losing time
Over and over again

I can't save you from yourself
Not when you don't want my help
Tie a ripcord around your head
I won't let you make it end

I've fought of all your fears
Dark seers
But you still set up your fall

I guess you can't see clear
And you won't stop 
'Till you're gone

A phoenix can't die
So why do you try
Over and over again
Can't you hear me cry
When we're losing time
Over and over again

I can't save you from yourself
Not when you don't want my help
Tie a ripcord around your head
I won't let you make it end

Even Cowboys Get the Blues

By Brian Hendrix

Hands down, one of the top-3 songs I've ever written. This one just came to me like a shot in the dark while I was lying down in bed. I hurried up and jotted down a rough outline, and then the song just came together of a cowboy who has accepted his fate of being alone and without love, and the realization that his "loneliness" doesn't make him blue. It's actually other things that make him sad.

Alone (I Wish)

By Izzy Douma

In my late Sophomore year of high school, I was forced to move away from the friends that were important to me. After facing the realization that I would be leaving for good, it dawned upon me that I never appreciated those friends enough. I spent my time there dealing with insecurity and fear of getting close to them. "Alone" focuses on my feelings for one friend in particular who I was always too afraid to talk to (mostly because he was popular) and the longing to see him again.
