Phantom

You twist the truth like a blade in my spine,

Cry for mercy while you’re crossing the line.

Seven hours of “I can change”,

Like I don’t see the chains you’ve made

I told you no, but you don’t hear,

You only love what you can steer.

You watch, you wait, you crawl too close,

Like I don’t know you’re just a ghost.

You’re just a phantom, clinging tight,

A parasite that lost its bite.

You haunt the halls, you steal my space,

But I won’t blink, no I won't go away.

Wrote your script, played your part,

A martyr with a hollow heart.

You twist the blame, rewrite the scene,

Like you weren’t the one who poisoned me.

I told you go, but you don’t leave,

You feed on control, you sink your teeth.

You watch, you wait, you crawl too close,

Like I don’t know you’re just a ghost.

You’re just a phantom, clinging tight,

A parasite that lost its bite.

You haunt the halls, you steal my space,

But I won’t blink, no I won't go away.

You were never scared, you were never weak,

You just hate it when I speak.

You don’t miss me, you miss control,

But I’m not the puppet you used to know.

You’re just a phantom, desperate, weak,

Crawling back ‘cause you can’t breathe.

You haunt the halls, you steal my space,

But I won’t blink, no I won't go away.

You’re nothing now, just empty air,

Keep reaching for me—I’m not there.
