I feel like I am afraid
Of my lies, that surround my achievements
Hello my dear, where have you been?
Where have you been, where now?

I know that you're the phantom
You're here to claim my soul
You know about my dead-name
I know that girl is old

I sit and stare at the wall
It's not easy, to remember these scrawls
I don't recall what I said
No more than you do, no more than I do
What now?

I know that you're the phantom
Came here to claim my soul
You know about my outbursts
You knew I lost control

I know that you're the phantom
You've gone and claimed my soul
Now I'm a wealthy man now
I'm thrilled or so I'm told

I stepped into a disease
A cold breeze, like an angel slipping through the cracks
I'm not amused by this laugh
I'm not impressed with this draft
I have a secret, stand back
Stand back

Get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
