📃 Track lyrics:
What the hell is happening? …Maybe this really is magic.
Red velvet Phoenix Mask waits in the box. My hands don't shake.

Grandmother's Diary opens — nineteen seventy-five.
"They called my mother 'witch'; they wouldn't let her speak.
The pastor blessed the torches; smoke ran through the hymn.
The sheriff's uncle set the stake; the square burned bright and grim.
I ran at fifteen to the pines, learned how to hide the light.
I sewed their Sunday suits and veils, kept feathers out of sight.
For fifty winters fit their smiles, with needles by my bed —
I locked the craft behind a door and lived like it was dead."

Between the glass and ink I hear
a verdict breathing, cold and clear—

Take the Phoenix Mask — let velvet breathe.
No borrowed smile. No borrowed skin.
If they bring fire, I won't kneel.
Truth is weight. I won't give in.

The margins list the names in ink:
the pastor's seal, the uncle's mark,
the deacons, merchants, neighbors too —
good suits, warm hands, obedient hearts.
Their silence held the voting floor,
their hymns outran a woman's scream;
they stamped the minutes, shut the door,
and called it order, law, and dream.
I press the page; my fingers soot.
The house holds breath; the mirror sees.
Grandmother's Diary shakes and says:
Decide which face you choose to be.

"I wore their mask for fifty winters.
Let them wear theirs when I am gone.
If fire walks our street again —
take red and gold. Become the dawn."

Take the Phoenix Mask — let velvet breathe.
No borrowed smile. No borrowed skin.
If they bring fire, I won't kneel.
Truth is weight. I won't give in.

No more questions. I know what this is. I wear the Phoenix Mask.
