[Intro] Still awake? Mm. I thought so. [Verse 1] Changed the room, changed the sheets, changed the song we used to keep playing low when no one else was listening. Good attempt. But when the hallway settles and the mirror catches light, tell me why you turn around like I'll be there tonight. You don't say my name. Don't have to. Your silence always had a certain way of telling truth. Every little memory you buried out of view learned to move in darkness— just like I do. [Pre-Chorus] Feel that? Right behind the thought you almost let disappear. Closer. That familiar little chill when you swear that no one's here. You can close your eyes. I'll still be— There. [Chorus] I'm the phantom you still desire, moving underneath your mind. Every door you close behind you leaves another one inside. No, I never had to chase you. Never needed you to stay. Your pulse remembers everything your lips won't let you say. The phantom you still desire— Still desire... You know where to find me. Take my hand. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh— Do you feel it? Oh-oh— There I am. [Verse 2] Look— New perfume, new scene, new somebody in-between. Funny how you changed everything except the way you dream. Curtains drawn, midnight showing, private little opera playing. Who's behind the mask this time? Don't answer. I know. Every apparition needs somebody who believes. You keep giving me a stage every time you try to sleep. Call me memory. Call me madness. Call me anything you please. But if I'm really gone— why do you still leave room for me? [Pre-Chorus] Hear that? Not a footstep. Not a voice. Just the thought you can't avoid. Closer. You can fight the melody, but you already know the— Choice. [Chorus] I'm the phantom you still desire, moving underneath your mind. Every door you close behind you leaves another one inside. No, I never had to chase you. Never needed you to stay. Your pulse remembers everything your lips won't let you say. The phantom you still desire— Still desire... You know where to find me. Take my hand. [Dance Break:] Phan-phantom— still desire— phantom— take my— [Rap Break] Don't confuse confidence with thinking that I own you. Walk away again if that's really what you want to. But you've rehearsed goodbye so many times it's getting old. Every perfect little ending somehow leaves the curtain open. Interesting. Maybe I'm a ghost. Maybe you're the haunting. Keeping me alive inside the places you keep wanting. I don't rattle chains. Don't need to scratch the walls. One memory hits right— and suddenly I have it all. [Bridge] If you reach into the dark... would you know me by the touch? Would the years between us matter? Would they matter all that much? Don't answer. Let the quiet speak. There's a reason every shadow starts resembling me. One step. That's all. No begging. No demands. If you want what still wants you— you already know my hand. [Final Chorus] I'M THE PHANTOM YOU STILL DESIRE! Living underneath your mind! Every lock you turn against me leaves another door inside! I never had to chase you! Never needed you to stay! Your body knows the melody your mouth won't let you say! Phantom! Phantom! The phantom you still desire— Still desire... still desire... So when the room goes quiet and you feel me there again— don't run. Take my hand. [Outro] See? You remembered.
