Scars they fade but the memories stay
I'm standing here but I'm miles away
I broke the chains but I'm in a cage
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
Wings broken on the floor
Blood burning both my eyes
It happened years ago
But past and present intertwine
My body seizes up
At threats that aren't there
Takes every ounce of strength
To keep from breaking when it flares
On the outside
I look fine
I look fine
But oh the outside
It's a lie
It's a lie
Cuz scars they fade but the memories stay
I'm standing here but I'm miles away
Broke the chains but I'm in a cage
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
Body broken on the earth
Tears welling in my eyes
I put the past behind me
Killed the angel deep inside
And I rose up from the ground with the dirt in my mouth
And I made myself a god, turned my pain into a crown
Now it's got me by the throat and it's starting to choke me out
On the outside
I look fine
I look fine
Cuz scars they fade but the memories stay
I'm standing here but I'm miles away
Broke the chains but I'm in a cage
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
Scars they fade but the memories stay
I'm standing here but I'm miles away
Broke the chains but I'm in a cage
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
Scars they fade but the memories stay
(The memories stay)
I'm standing here but I'm miles away
(Oh yeah I'm miles away)
Broke the chains but I'm in a cage
(I'm in a cage, I'm in a cage)
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
I'm haunted by these phantom pains
