Renaissance Matt - Phantom Lyrics

There's a side of me that I do not want you to see
I can sing about it here but only cryptically
He eats me up inside and yet he is a part of me
Feeding hunger, causing pain, cannibalistically
I love it when I let him out to take control
But the me you see feels shame in ways you would not know
I want to be a perfect model of society
But taboo me, asfixiated, needs to breath
So we dance into the darkness, only he can see
And we revel in our pain masochistically
He's the perfect demon, demonized for being demon-ly
A beauty hidden in the depths of non-conformity
My...my forsaken phantom
Wants me to unhand him
Spirits bare his spirit
For all to see...
A creature of suppression
Yearning for expression
I'm giving you attention
Lyrically
Deep inside I feel a burning fire to be seen
A boiling point of equilibrium and harmony
Escape your lockdown so we that can join happily
Discarding judgment that oppresses our unity
If rejection is reflection of the life I lead
A mirror with a stranger, hollowed, is all I'll see
I am the phantom and I allow the synchrony
Don't be afraid it's always been you and me
My...my forsaken phantom
Wants me to unhand him
Spirits bare his spirit
For all to see...
A creature of suppression
Yearning for expression
I'm giving you attention
Lyrically
