Holding hands with a phantom
So go ahead and whisper sweet nothings
For that's all they will ever be
Your empty words will remain empty
From now until the end of time
Haunted by these spectral visions of you
Leeching my life like a cancerous sore
Longing for my freedom
Death would offer a better release
Holding hands with a phantom
Walking with the deceitful one
A frail moment frozen in time
Draining my life's blood
Two souls entwined
My eyes closed, yet my dreams are poisoned
Shaken, fearful, and hopeless
Trapped under this uncertainty
As these shadows of doubt consume me
Draining the light forevermore
Beneath this veil of sleep
I hear the gnashing of your teeth
Dwelling in my head
I can't escape this
Your eyes shine like ivory
Reflecting impure intentions
Blackened is your selfish heart
That I once held dear
Take a moment to realize
You've broken my every will
Stolen my every breath
I hope you choke on both
Holding hands with a phantom
Walking with the deceitful one
A frail moment frozen in time
Draining my life's blood
Two souls entwined
So go ahead and whisper sweet nothings
For that's all they will ever be
Your empty words will remain empty
From now until the end of time
Haunted by these spectral visions of you
Leeching my life like a cancerous sore
Longing for my freedom
Death would offer a better release
