Nik Nocturnal - Dear Phantom lyrics

Friction within my thoughts makes way for the flames, burning up my self-control (and I’m alone) On my own in eternal struggle with the darkness inside As I recoil from the turmoil within, I feel the earth collapse around me, everyone is staring, wondering why There is a difference between what you see and who I am, constant suppression leaves me paralyzed I must learn to harness this disease And if I’m playing with fire, it is my burden to decide what transpires Dear phantom I won’t let you drag me underneath this world Oh, phantom I was meant to find the beauty in this curse These demons leave with a mark Much like the scars on my heart Wounds of the past carry me to new paths Taming the strife, let my life begin again Battered, bruised, but I refuse to give in to this plague Shatter, fuse, and rebuild the walls of yesterday Dear phantom I won’t let you drag me underneath this world Oh, phantom I was meant to find the beauty in this curse Hear my voice, you have no choice, give in to the anguish I won’t lose hope in this broken soul until the darkness is vanquished There’s nothing left, you’re all alone My future’s never set in stone Your suffering is lethal No! I will transcend this evil You’re trapped inside But there’s still time I’m taking back what’s mine Dear phantom I won’t let you drag me underneath this world Oh, phantom I was meant to find the beauty in this curse
