Verse 1:
In the mirror, a shadow's glare
Promises broken in the air
Freedom whispers through the night
But it's just a fading light
Pre-Chorus:
Chasing dreams that never last
In a maze of the past
Strings control my ev'ry move
Is this the freedom they approve?
Chorus:
Phantom Liberty, haunting me
A mirage of what could be
Talents captured, hearts betrayed
In this game where we're all played
Verse 2:
Voices echo with deceit
Stolen hopes beneath my feet
Every step, a puppet's dance
Caught within this cruel romance
Pre-Chorus:
Gilded cage of dreams so sweet
Chains of gold, discreet
Every touch, a velvet chain
Bound by promises of pain
Chorus:
Phantom Liberty, haunting me
A mirage of what could be
Talents captured, hearts betrayed
In this game where we're all played
Bridge:
Illusions crumble, truth revealed
A heart that's bruised but not yet healed
Eyes wide open, vision clear
Yet freedom stays so far, so near
Chorus:
Phantom Liberty, haunting me
A mirage of what could be
Talents captured, hearts betrayed
In this game where we're all played
Outro:
Freedom's cry, a ghostly plea
In the end, we're never free
Phantom Liberty, haunting me
In this life, we’re bound to see
