PHANTOM PAIN

[Verse 1]
Yeah
My mind is racing for the words
Like there's a first place for thinking
This life is just a marathon so jogging nothing new to me
I ran up a couple hills, the top is still a view to see
Some people think I'm picky, that's only 'cause I choose to be
Some people kick whatever with no goals in mind
I ask questions 'cause I like to learn but haters school
Cause they ain't teach us that the hardest question of them all was "Who am I?"
Black or white we all dominos who fall in line
I say this all the time
Some niggas try to read you but can't rеad between the lines
Thеre's girls I kept around only because they were fine
It's not like we caught a vibe, I'm just shallow sometimes
Someday we'll all make peace with ours
And time flew, I just blew through all these years
To end up in a place that's not what it appears

[Chorus]
Sometimes I close my eyes just to see you again
In pain whenever I think about it
Why are you haunting me again
Let me sleep in a bed for a while
I want to dream again
In a pain whenever I think about it
Shadows haunting me again

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Getting old is weird that's to say the least
My name is on a lease but it's like it's on a leash
Me and my dogs drink and laugh over our common griefs
'Bout problems over women just to say the least
Patiently waiting for something bigger than me to appear
It's fire in my spirit or that could just be Everclear
Look forward to future years
I envision that these words might cure somebody
And when I'm leaving off the stage I'll hear about it
Pray I'm not the type to end up hating what I do
If I can't change the world at least I know I changed you and you
The first you is me, I know it's what I have to do
So much to figure out while juggling our daily pursuits
That tie was too tight, it felt like a noose
That hard labor will make you hang with the fruits before you get to taste it
Yeah it's strange ain't it
Forgetting what you dream about can be dangerous
You can spend your days awake, aimless

[Chorus]
Sometimes I close my eyes just to see you again
In pain whenever I think about it
Why are you haunting me again
Let me sleep in a bed for a while
I want to dream again
In a pain whenever I think about it
Shadows haunting me again
Sometimes I close my eyes just to see you again
In pain whenever I think about it
Why are you haunting me again
Let me sleep in a bed for a while
I want to dream again
In a pain whenever I think about it
Shadows haunting me again
Sometimes I close my eyes just to see you again
In pain whenever I think about it
Why are you haunting me again
Let me sleep in a bed for a while
I want to dream again
In a pain whenever I think about it
Shadows haunting me again
