The Phantom

I live to awake you You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the lines Through dreams of delusions Your nurturing shadow You give me closure and shelter in fire A keeper of our needs To wallow in secrets You hold no dignities And redeem the speechless Prey on my mind Tell me I'm there To rejoice in my misery Take my side, let me find The abyss that I've faithfully designed The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile It swallows your guilt, but then you die I'd rather speak with the phantom inside I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need Now ruptured and sunken The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen A world beyond The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived But in the phantom I believe I live to awake you You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the lines I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need Now ruptured and sunken The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen A world beyond The night is still cold (the night is still cold) and I'm still deceived But in the phantom I believe In the phantom I believe
