Lyrics Dear Phantom - Andy Cizek , Nik Nocturnal

Strife
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
(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
(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
Dear phantom
(I won't let you drag me underneath this world)
Oh phantom
(I was meant to find the beauty in this curse)
