Phantom - Song Lyrics

i just wrote this last night. it was the first inspired poem i have written in a very long time. i had to get up out of bed to get it out of my system and get it written. i heard it as a song in my head. let me know what you think!


the night had kinda' started
sort of simple
kinda' true.
hangin' with my baby,
wearin' high heel boots.

i was shootin' at a phantom.
i was aimin' for a kill.
shootin' at a target
but i knew it wasn't real.

i was fillin' up with spirit.
with a heart that was unglued.
and starin' at you briefly;
eyes with sassy attitude.

i wondered what you're thinkin'
i wondered if you knew.
if you could see right through me.
if you saw the phantom too.

i stared a little deeper.
i aimed a little high,
i pulled back on the bowstring,
and let the arrow fly.

i shot away the phantom,
i killed it more than twice.
but it just kept on comin'
it just kept on screamin'
it just kept on needin'
and my eyes turned to ice.

i was shootin' at a phantom.
i was lookin' for a kill.
but it just kept on comin'.
it just kept on comin'
it keeps on comin' still.
