Nervousness jostles the void into filling itself
As if saying your name enough will make you appear
Beneath the noise you whisper secrets in my ear
But it's never anything I desperately need to hear
Only voices confirming you're not coming back
Only voices confirming you were never here
I'm just a phantom that doesn't realize you're past tense
Lost in the shadow you've managed to cast ever since
I was born inside your heart, I've always been the closest
I was so deep inside of you, you never even noticed
Everything is fair in love and war
But I can’t tell which one this is anymore
I'm not even sure if I know what love is for
All I know is you leave me wanting more
I am like a ghost that cannot see that I'm dead
That I crafted this illusion, it was all in my head
Whatever intentions I had for us were misguided
But I can still hear the cries of the child inside us
It rings like wedding bells, it rings like tinnitus
And the roar of voices that swore to divide us
Everything is fair in love and war
But I can’t tell which one this is anymore
I'm not even sure if I know what love is for
All I know is you leave me wanting more
You burned your heart into my skull, I knew how it felt
I burned its face into the wall, now I'm watching it melt
I wash away your silent scream, wiping our slate clean
This was another bad dream, not worth remembering
You and your afterimage were never brought into focus
But I was so deep inside of you, you never even noticed
