Phantom Songtext
von Ryan Beatty

Spotlight simmers on the floor
And falls on the ingénue in powder blue
And I watch her from the wings
She parodies the spring and wilts away
I′m dulled, I'm dancing in the cold
Like cattails in the wind, I bend, but I don′t fold
I'm feeling old, and phantom-limbed, and gray


But it's love, held with dirty hands
The lion and the lamb
Everything′s a sacrifice
Whether you′re smiling like a winner
Or crying like a clown, mmm

So I'm leaving you with this
Something you can miss
A tear before the final bow
Is it everything you wanted
With roses on the ground, whoa

′Cause it's love, held with lonely hands
Kicked out of the band
Everything′s a sacrifice
Whether you're crying like a winner
Or clapping in the stands
