Phantom

But are we really alive Seeing life through tired eyes The ache to survive Separate life from the lies Cut through my mask To find safety in disguise The roads we paved are the only way To make it through tonight To be the phantom in the corner To know the pain in disappointment To care about the image when the artist isn't honest To find the glimmer in the ashes To start to the fire with only matches We're burning our burdens We're breaking in, taking it all Lights off, it's a blackout And we're laying low for the takedown With the sound that'll leave you confounded The mental power to move mountains We're psychologically focussed You don't know where we'll take it It's all or nothing we know It's a make it or break it arrangement Cos I'm stuck in the basement With the shadows, I can't see an exit Masks on the faces of my demons Forming my protection I feel more at home inside the dark Than outside in the light of the day You should stay out of our way Coming in with the futuristic flow All you wanna know Is if the money come and go You know that I'ma work until I make it Everybody talking about how people always fake it Bite the hand that feeds when their needs seem complacent Team work is not free work, but our dreams work Used to put up stickers now people wear our T-shirts You must be cursed Trying to reverse Subtle reverb, when the beat hurts I'm feeling so good for the future We complain about the modern age but need the views through computers Yeah, yeah To be the phantom in the corner To know the pain in disappointment To care about the image when the artist isn't honest To find the glimmer in the ashes To start to the fire with only matches We're burning our burdens We're breaking in, taking it all You see them take our rights You can never break my pride You see them try divide You can never break my stride You see them take our rights You can never break my pride You see them try divide You can never break my stride
