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
