Lyrics for Phantoms

Phantoms I look at all the sad story people Lost in the seasons passing them by Inside my head lies a life on an island Flooded with darkness deep into the sky But they're only the strangers on a train Passing through my mind again and again But it's lonely to stand in this heat Deep in the woods who knows who you'll meet But I didn't know the hill would be the steep And I didn't know the sea would be this deep And I'm sorry I treat you this way Deep inside the shell I crawl into Crying alone I know I'll get by Please stay away I just don't want to see you The things that you say I know they're all lies But I don't understand what the story's about Explain to me please how the sunlight got out Please don't leave me here Dreaming alone with phantoms
