I've been drifting for so long out in the darkness
That I can't remember any life at all
Reconstructing bits of broken conversation
Playing nightly on my empty bedroom wall
I'm beginning to have doubts about the likelihood
Of anything around me being real
Only fragments of the half-remembered promises
That got me to enclose myself in steel
And all the while it's all the same
The past can never change
The future lays the blame
And all the while you're on your own
Forever leaving home
Lost in the Phantom Zone
Is it distance that makes lovers so appealing?
Should I open up the door and step outside?
Could it be that dreams are only an invention
Meant to occupy our senses for a time?
And all the while it's all the same
The past can never change
The future lays the blame
And all the while you're on your own
Forever leaving home
Lost in the Phantom Zone
