Phantom Of Dust

I woke up chewing dust

In a room with broken glass

Your shadow scratched my name

On the inside of the ash

Bootprints in the hallway

Like a wolf that lost its chain

I keep a blade of memory

Underneath my skin

And tears that rain

Hear it clawing closer

Under my ribs tonight

Every lie you left me

Turns the dark into night

My phantom

Dragging me down

My phantom

Spinning me around

My phantom

I wear my own crown

My phantom

Won’t leave now (won’t leave now)

Smashed mirror, blood-black grin

I spit fire at the wall

Every prayer I tried to keep

Came back cracked and raw

Army of dead in the graveyard

Doesn’t mean a thing to me

I was built from broken vows

And a furnace full of need

Hear it clawing closer

Under my teeth tonight

Every lie you left me

Turns the dark into night

My phantom

Dragging me down

My phantom

Spinning me around

My phantom

I wear my own crown

My phantom

Won’t leave now (won’t leave now)

I can taste the silence

Like iron on my tongue

I was half a corpse

Before the night had won

Still I rise through rubble

Still I spit at your race

If I die in this shadow

I will die in the darkness that comes

My phantom

Dragging me down

My phantom

Spinning me around

My phantom

I wear my own crown

My phantom

Won’t leave now (won’t leave now)
