GHOST - Phantom Of The Opera lyrics

[GHOST - Phantom Of The Opera lyrics]

I've been looking so long for you now
You won't get away from my grasp
I've been living so long in hiding
And hiding behind that false mask
And I know that you know that I
Ain't got long not to last
My looks and my feelings are just
The remains of my past

I'm standing in the wings
There I wait for the curtain to fall
And knowing the terror and holding
I have on you all
Yeah, you know that I'm gonna scratch
You and maim you and maul
And you know you're helpless from
My mesmerizing cat call

Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you
Come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way

You're running and hiding in dreams
I'm always there
I'm the Phantom of the Opera
I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare
I damaged your mind and your soul
It just floats through the air
I haunt you, I taunt you
I torture you back at my lair
