Phantom Self Lyrics

And I will brave this coming storm
A dark horizon, unimaginable in scale
The ceaseless skies overhead

No one to face my woes but I
Alone

For years I've kept you locked away
In the service of my inner qualms. (Feeding)
Feeding you with all you need to survive
I am the warden and I am the cell

But I've been away, (Been away)
For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (recognize myself)
Been so long since I have returned back home

Eye of the storm
Eye of the soothsayer
Seasons shifting in a time-lapse dream
In the midst is where I will find you
Forced to face the folly of my own regret

And now
We face our demons in our darkest hour
We face our demons tonight
But I've been away, (Been away)
For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (recognize myself)
Been so long since I have returned back home

I feel the struggle inside of me
Contemplated, medicated
Until the voices stop
Aberrations, of fragile humanity
Beckoning, wailing to be observed
But now
You can't hide from yourself forever

Face to face with phantoms
Stagnant eyes staring back at me, so lifeless
Escape the spectres of a hollow life, (Hollow)
Escape the spectres of untimely choice
And brave this coming storm tonight

But I've been away, (Been away)
For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (Been Away)
Been so long since I have returned back home

But I've been away, (Been away)
For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (Been Away)
Been so long since I have returned back home
Alone
Been so long since I have returned back
Home

And I will brave this coming storm
Overhead, No one to face my woes but I
