Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I held a funeral for my past today
Laid it in the ground where it's meant to stay
With the roots, the dirt, pain and the hurt
I held a funeral for my past today
[Verse 2]
I got down on my knees, dug up a mighty grave
Made room for all the darkness, the anger, and the shame
So deep it never haunts me, gone forever and always
I held a funeral for my past today
[Verse 3]
While I've been cutting roses, never thought this day would come
Me and my shadow, we were living as one
Every day I tried to fight it, but my demons always won
Till I stopped fighting, till I let the light in
[Verse 4]
I could not help but tremble, I could not help but cry
There was something holy about it, just watching it die
Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes
Up from the ashes
Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise
[Verse 5]
So come gather round, what will you lay to rest?
Whatever kills you slowly, don't give it one more breath
Let it go, let it be, let it rest here in peace
Lay it down at the funeral for your past today
