Phantom's Life

Ó 2002 Colin Elliott

I.
To want your skin
To run with sweat
I long for you
You long right back
I'm on shaky ground
There's no one around

I feel the fire
Unchecked desire
My hear, it fade
My brow perspire
We can give up tonight
We can throw away our lives

My love won't wait
For my hear
For my soul
I ma losing no time
I witness the phantom's light

We can't look back
It's begun
What's been done
Is that we've ruined our lives
Consumed by the phantom's light

The silence comes
What have I done?
I'm soaked in blood
In denial I run
Away from true light
I'm covered with night

We can't erase
This one mistake
My soul is raped
I can't go back in time
And fight off the phantom's light

We'll never change
We're all the same
We all feel pain
We gave up all our lives
Gave them up to the phantoms light

II.
Tears and pain cry out
Who will hear if I shout?
If I cry out now?
When no one's around
If I scream out loud?
Who will hear the sound?

I can't escape
I couldn't wait
I need to be saved
I need to be saved from myself because alone
I can't win the fight

Give it up for yourself
Give it up to save your life
You can't run from the light
You can't hide for the rest of your life
What you keep He can find
Don't try avoid the Light
As it pierces your soul
You'll walk away feeling alright
