Phantom Pursuers

Phantom Pursuers

Verse 1:
Shadows shift in my peripheral view
Whispers echo, but the words aren't true
Paranoia creeps, cold sweat on my skin
Reality bends, don't know where to begin

Pre-Chorus:
Voices scream inside my head
"Run away!" or "You're better off dead!"

Chorus:
(Go away!) They're always after me
(Go away!) Can't you fucking see?
One step from the edge, about to fall
These demons hunt me, I can't shake their call

Verse 2:
Medication bottles litter the floor
Didn't help, just made me want more
Under the bed, monsters still lurk
In my mind, shadows continue to work

Pre-Chorus:
Scratching walls, tearing at my brain
Sanity slips down the drain

Chorus:
(Go away!) They're always after me
(Go away!) Can't you fucking see?
One step from the edge, about to fall
These demons hunt me, I can't shake their call

Verse 3:
Nails bitten raw, skin picked and bleeding
Heart races fast, lungs gasping, heaving
Phone's unplugged, doors triple-locked
Still feel watched, privacy mocked

Pre-Chorus:
Trapped in a nightmare, can't wake up
Reality and delusion, lines corrupt

Chorus:
(Go away!) They're always after me
(Go away!) Can't you fucking see?
One step from the edge, about to fall
These demons hunt me, I can't shake their call
Fuck, Go away!

Bridge:
Am I crazy or is the world insane?
Perception's shattered, nothing's the same
Trust no one, not even myself
Sanity's a book on a dusty shelf

Final Chorus:
(Go away!) They're always after me
(Go away!) Can't you fucking see?
One step from the edge, about to fall
These demons hunt me, I can't shake their call

Chorus:
(Go away!) They're always after me
(Go away!) Can't you fucking see?
One step from the edge, about to fall
These demons hunt me, I can't shake their call
