Abandon all hope ye' who enter here I want to be alone, I don't need no peers Can't you tell, that I'm insane? It's gone on so long that it's affecting my brain I step into the fire and my face burns off Now I’m wearin’ a mask and I can’t take it off I hide in the shadows cause I’m afraid Of what they might say, I feel like a disgrace I look through windows so I can see People enjoyin’ themselves in society Makes me sad inside, I don’t want to hide I want to enjoy life, I just want to be alive So I play this organ to get out my pain Feel so much shame floatin’ around in my brain It’s like everyone just forgot about me Forever trapped inside, I just want to be free But how can I be when I’m all alone Forced to deal with sins that I want to atone But nobody even bothers to give me forgiveness I’m a witness to the crime of lost innocence I got a white mask coverin’ my face Burn marks on my skin make me a disgrace I’m the phantom, forever lurkin’ in life Wishin’ for happiness that’s in plain’ sight I live in a place where there’s no one around I’m known as the villain all around my town I’m the phantom, and it’s driving me insane All the pain in my brain goin’ against the grain It’s been years since I’ve seen a single companion Makes me insane in the membrane, I can’t understand it All I need in my life is that special somebody To come and help me out, instead I got nobody I’m a victim of a thing called isolation... All because I refused to be subjugated Lose my morals, my values and my integrity Just for some scraps of happiness, seems a bit silly But they’d be pouring kerosene, sparking them fires Just to burn the people who dare acquire The audacity to go against the system Which is flawed and defective by their own admission Try to change it for the better but it never works System’s self-aware, always working to advert Massive change that is needed to succeed We’ll never get that cause we’re corrupted by greed I got a white mask coverin’ my face Burn marks on my skin make me a disgrace I’m the phantom, forever lurkin’ in life Wishin’ for happiness that’s in plain’ sight I live in a place where there’s no one around I’m known as the villain all around my town I’m the phantom, and it’s driving me insane All the pain in my brain goin’ against the grain I got a white mask coverin’ my face Burn marks on my skin make me a disgrace I’m the phantom, forever lurkin’ in life Wishin’ for happiness that’s in plain’ sight I live in a place where there’s no one around I’m known as the villain all around my town I’m the phantom, and it’s driving me insane All the pain in my brain goin’ against the grain
