Tyrell Sun - Phantom Load Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead voltage in my veins tonight
Can't shake these demons, can't make it right

[Verse 1]
3 AM, corner store fluorescence
River's lighting up another cigarette, f*ck pretense
London's blacked out but we still glow
Two lost souls feeding off each other's sorrow
Empty bottles, empty promises to change
But we're both parasites, yeah, we're both deranged
City's dying and we're dying too
Feeding off each other's pain, it's what we do

[Chorus]
Still drawing power when the circuit's dead
Phantom load running through my head
Can't cut you off, can't pull the plug
These wires wrapped around my heart like drugs
Phantom load, phantom load
Draining me even when you're gone, I know

[Verse 2]
Late night talks about death and art
While this city tears itself apart
You're my poison, I'm your fix
Two broken meters running out of tricks
Emergency broadcasts echo through the streets
While we chain-smoke our way to defeat
Should've known better, should've walked away
But misery loves company, that's what they say

[Bridge]
Every missed call, every text
Another surge through my cortex
You're offline but still consuming
My energy's still bleeding, still fuming

[Chorus]
Still drawing power when the circuit's dead
Phantom load running through my head
Can't cut you off, can't pull the plug
These wires wrapped around my heart like drugs
Phantom load, phantom load
Draining me even when you're gone, I know

[Outro]
Power's out but I still feel the drain
Phantom load driving me insane
