[verse]

I find my solace in the corner dark and low

Sometimes I’m content watching embers softly glow

You built your castles on a lie you can’t defend

Believing secrets hide from me around the bend

That comfort is a dream I let you clutch so tight

A fragile silent shadow guarding through the night

I see the strings that pull your every move so clear

But I say nothing cause the end is drawing near

[pre-chorus]

I’ve heard the words you swore would never reach the light

Collected whispers trembling in the dead of night

The evidence is locked the truth begins to weigh

And I am just awaiting for the reckoning day

[chorus]

I am the ghost within the matrix unbound

The phantom walking silent on this hallowed ground

I hold the data that could shatter all you own

The quiet knowing that you thought was yours alone

To you I see it all I know your every sin

Yet never let you feel the storm that brews within

[verse]

You toy with rumors that could set the world aflame

A careless spark that could destroy your hollow name

You think the distance keeps your twisted path concealed

But I know every wound your soul has never healed

I am the ear that hears the eye that never sleeps

The vault where every buried secret safely keeps

To break this silent pact would be your final fall

The power that I wield will crumble every wall

[pre-chorus]

I’ve heard the words you swore would never reach the light

Collected whispers trembling in the dead of night

The evidence is locked the truth begins to weigh

And I am just awaiting for the reckoning day

[chorus]

I am the ghost within the matrix unbound

The phantom walking silent on this hallowed ground

I hold the data that could shatter all you own

The quiet knowing that you thought was yours alone

To you I see it all I know your every sin

Yet never let you feel the storm that brews within

[bridge]

I strive to walk the kinder path I must confess

For those who earn my love I choose to heal and bless

But those who seek to break the progress I have made

Should fear the shadow where my darkest self has stayed

To test my growth is dancing on destruction’s ledge

You’d beg for mercy if I ever loose this edge

I’d rather be the man who rises from the fight

Than prove exactly why your soul should fear the night
