The Phantom of your Dreams

I stepped in slow with a grin so mean

Black velvet coat and a silver sheen

You hear my name in the hallway air

Then turn around and I'm already there

I leave a mark on your pillowcase

A little cold in your warm embrace

I know your heart, I know your

I steal your sleep with a velvet bead

You try to run but you lead my way

You bite your lip when I say your name

One little look and the room goes dim

You feel me rise at the edge of him

I am the phantom of your dreams

I come alive in broken scenes

I am the phantom of your dreams

call my name, I make you scream

I am the phantom of your dreams

I slip through locks and shattered seams

I am the phantom of your dreams

You close your eyes, I stay between

I wear your fear like a lucky chain

I taste the rain in your windowpane

Your watch stops clean when I touch your skin

And every old night pulls me in

I've got a laugh like a slammed back door

I've got a hunger you can't ignore

You keep one truce underneath your tongue

That I was there when the dream begun

You try to hide but your pulse talks loud

You stand too still in a restless crowd

One little spark in the dark comes through

And I'll come back when you think you're through

I am the phantom of your dreams

I come alive in broken scenes

I am the phantom of your dreams

You call my name, I'll make you scream

I am the phantom of your dreams

I slip through locks and shattered seams

I am the phantom of your dreams

You close your eyes, I stay between

Oh, when the mirror starts to

And your brave face comes undone

You know my shadow, you know my kiss

You never wake from a night like this

I am the phantom of your dreams

I come alive in broken scenes

I am the phantom of your dreams

You call my name, I make you scream

I am the phantom of your dreams

I slip through locks and shattered seams

I am the phantom of your dreams

You close your eyes, I stay between
