Acrobat

The phantoms in my head call me an acrobat One mistake and I fall to my death I share a bed with my own crushing fear Aching for a time when no specters whispered in my ear I am the only one Who's ever felt this way The world keeps passing me by With every missed chance it calls a day One by one they'll fly away The things I wish I'd done I will always feel this way Loathing second to none The phantoms in my head just robbed a liquor store They're on a war path and need to settle score With every happy thought I've ever had They whisper in my ear "don't forget your mom is dead" You are the only one Who's ever felt this way The world keeps passing you by With every missed chance it calls a day One by one they'll fly away The things you wish you'd done You will always feel this way Loathing second to none The phantoms in my head burned down a hospital Just to prove they could Now I've nowhere to go to check my head No doctors left to look under my hood You're wise for your age Is what people say To a child whose mind Will become a cage So let them be Phantoms so deep Push them down And please don't set them free You are the only one Who's ever felt this way The world keeps passing you by With every missed chance it calls a day One by one they'll fly away The things you wish you'd done You will always feel this way Loathing second to none
