Phantom

You don't see me
But I creep into your veins
You don't know me
But you can feel your heart cracking
You don't know who I am
But you know I'm there
The best kept secret is the one that
Kills

Oh, she's a deadly weapon
So much power at her disposal
Why should it worry you?
How can you bet against such a threat that is
Invisible, inconceivable
Hate me, never know me
Do what I do then maybe
You'll be in my shoes

Walk beside me, not on me
I keep my distance
I'll break you before you ever touch me
Walk beside me, not on me
You kept your distance so now
Get the fuck over it!

I see your words floating
But your mouth is trapped shut
Your teeth are grinding
But you manage a smile
Wish you could see me choking the throat you wish to caress
You wanted to be the one but you're not even second best

Oh, she's the blade that haunted you
Infiltrated your dreams you couldn't even
Sleep at night
You thought she would never come
I'm not the one to blame, do you even have any shame?
You walked on fire now you can't even handle the stake

And take
To do what it takes
What's at stake
What do you have to lose?
Your pride?
Some sentimental thing inside?
Dignity?
Huh, I don't pity
What you have to choose

Out of touch, out of place
Won't see my face
I'll break you before you ever touch me
Walk beside me, not on me
I've kept my distance, so now
Get the fuck over it!
