You think you're the only one who's lying?
The only one who's pretending to smile?
The only one who's dying?
The only one who walks into a room & feels so alone?
The only one who's heartache kills them,
And they deal with it on their own?
I remember every kiss,
Every touch,
The forbiddenness,
Of every moment that we spent,
Memorizing each other's skin.
And now you look right through me,
And I smile the same old smile,
While you go on with your life
Destroying yourself inside
And I'm standing here waiting for you to realize,
Slowly killing the burning fire in my eyes.
I waited too long,
And now you don't care...
Best friends, yea, ok...
I'll pretend it's enough.
Try to make it through the day.
You're not the only one who's lying,
The only one who's pretending to smile,
The only one who's dying.
Look at me.
Just really look.

My eyes are almost blacker than,
My soul,
Black is perceived when,
Light is entirely absent,
Smoke can no longer be seen,
In this emptiness like,
Heaven,
A figment of your imagination,
Is what I am,
I could disappear,
Into forbiddenness,
I tried to clear this image,
Empty it from my head,
It's something that wanders,
Lonely down streets,
That happen to be dead ends,
But the street is alive,
I'm a ghost with a beating heart,
And I call myself a Phantom.
