The Phantom Pain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As the night draws in
Every doubt and every fear, they break in:
After many years, what is left of those promises?
A vision for a world to build
A brand new humanity
Locking greed and lust away to make it better

[Chorus]
So how have we just come to this?
Nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same
And live with this phantom pain
(And live with this phantom pain)

[Verse 2]
A smile on no one's face
Heart is dull, there are no tears to dim eyes
A daydream walk toward our demise
All the questions fade
Everything just falls into place
We live inside a make-believe
But no one sees it's unreal
In a dream, we're lost, awake until our conscience fades

[Bridge]
We sold our feelings to a play
Now we're nothing but a fake
Flawless and perfect with no fail

[Chorus]
So how have we just come to this?
Nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same

[Instrumental Break]

We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So how have we just come to this?
Nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same
And live with this phantom pain
