Verse 1
I watched you rise from the wreckage,
Barefoot in the flameless dust.
A wildfire tearing through my ribcage,
Burning down what I could trust.
Verse 2
Your eyes were storms I couldn’t read,
Thunder breaking through the cracks.
And I just stood there, struck in silence,
While you rained on everything I lacked.
Chorus
You came like lightning, you left like smoke,
Left me bleeding in every word I spoke.
You’re my desert monsoon, crashing wild then gone too soon,
Turned my fire into flood, left me drowning in your blood.
You’re my desert monsoon — I can’t escape, I can’t undo.
When you break, you break in a flash — love turns to Phoenix ash.
Verse 3
Your whispers cut like desert wind,
Ripping through my hollow chest.
I tried to hold you in the flood,
But even rain can leave you less.
Verse 4
The heat still lingers in my hands,
Your fingerprints in every scar.
I’m chasing echoes through the sand,
While you bloom beneath another star.
Chorus
You came like lightning, you left like smoke,
Left me bleeding in every word I spoke.
You’re my desert monsoon, crashing wild then gone too soon,
Turned my fire into flood, left me drowning in your blood.
You’re my desert monsoon — I can’t escape, I can’t undo.
When you break, you break in a flash — love turns to Phoenix ash.
Bridge
And even when the river’s dry,
Your shadow burns across the sky.
I feel you flooding through my veins —
Your storm, your flame, your hurricane.
Final Chorus / Outro
You’re my desert monsoon, crashing wild then gone too soon,
Turned my fire into flood, left me drowning in your blood.
You’re my desert monsoon — I can’t escape, I can’t undo,
When you break, you break in a flash — love turns to Phoenix ash.
Desert monsoon, still over Phoenix ash,
Yeah, I’m still here — under Phoenix ash.
Desert monsoon, still over Phoenix ash,
Yeah, I’m still here — under Phoenix ash.
