Lyric

It always starts… with a breath you didn’t feel

A chill that isn’t wind

A presence behind your pulse

And then

The kiss

You look around

No one's there

But your lips remember

The heat

The tremble

The lie

Was it ever real?

You danced alone... or so you thought

But someone—something—

Was matching your every step

Mirroring. Wanting. Craving

They never left

They never do

That phantom kiss?

It’s still on you

On your mouth

On your soul

Marked. Branded. Buried

You try to shake it

You drink

You scream

You jump

But nothing drowns out that memory

That soundless drop

Of lips pressed through time

This is not a track

It’s a haunting

This is not a dance

It’s a possession

You didn’t choose this beat

It chose you

"Come closer,"

It whispers

"Come closer."

You do

And it kisses you again

This time longer

Deeper

Colder

And it never ends

You are no longer dancing

You are no longer dreaming

You are inside the Phantom Kiss

And it’s inside you

Forever
