Cold Call Songtext
von O’Phantom

I read your number on the list
And prayed to God they′d take me first
To be the one that you adore
A battered coast against the tide

Now time has taken all my friends
And wrapped me in a cold repent
The autumn winds seep through your door
A winter's breath upon you now

This is a cold call
How′s your evening?
In days gone by, you'd hold the line

This is a cold call
Time after time
Days go by, you hold the line

I paid the price to be the last
To walk the line
The pain and suffering you endure
A sign of what is yet to come


Life had always treated me well
And I'd get by
Wisdom can replace your hope
And age begins to take its toll

This is a cold call
How′s your evening?
I heard the voice, I swear to God

This is a cold call
I′m not coping
I heard the call, I hold the line

I'm trying hard to be the thing
I′m needed to for everyone
I'm trying hard to realise
The fears I′ve felt, the tides that bind

Holding on for dear life
Holding on to every smile
Forget the pain I can't control
Forget the times you feel alone

I′m trying hard to be the thing
I'm needed to for everyone
I'm trying hard not to cry
In front of strangers every night


Open up my tired eyes
And try my best to still be kind
Trying not to fall apart
And take the time you don′t get back

This is a cold call
How′s your evening?
I've been drifting through decades
Without really moving

This is an arms race
A shock to the system
This is the fourth wall
A sonic union
