Phantom Steps

Shadow moves, moonlight can't trace

Face in the smoke, can't replace

Creepin' silent, predator pace

Teeth sharp, venom laced

Feet don’t touch ground, ghost in the scene

Mind like a heist, always stay clean

Pockets full, but the soul stay lean

Cash machine dreams, painted in green

Phantom steps, I’m driftin’, driftin’

World too loud, I’m shiftin’, shiftin’

Voices whisper, I’m listenin’, listenin’

In the dark, I’m glistenin’, glistenin’

Grip tight on the edge of the void

Life like a toy, I can’t avoid

No joy, just ploys deployed

Heat rise, circuits fried, paranoid

Double cup til the stars align

Chain so cold, freeze time, rewind

No map for the paths I find

Gold dust trails left behind

Echoes bounce in the chamber, spin

Light too dim, I’m sinkin’ in

What’s a loss if the game won’t end?

Lines get blurred, can’t see the bend
