Phantom - Ryan Beatty

Lyrics by：Ryan Beatty/Ethan Gruska

Produced by：Ethan Gruska/Ryan Beatty

Spotlight simmers on the floor

And falls on the ingénue in powder blue

And I watch her from the wings

She parodies the spring and wilts away

I'm dulled I'm dancin' in the cold

Like cattails in the wind I bend but I don't fold

I'm feeling old and phantom-limbed and gray

But it's love held with dirty hands

The lion and the lamb

Everything's a sacrifice

Whether you're smiling like a winner

Or cryin' like a clown mmm

So I'm leaving you with this

Something you can miss

A tear before the final bow

Is it everything you wanted

With roses on the ground?

Oh

'Cause it's love held with lonely hands

Kicked out of the band

Everything's a sacrifice

Whether you're cryin' like a winner

Or clapping in the stands
