words and music by Kevin Max

she switched the passport
and slowed my hand
I tripped the wire
in no mans land

we should’ve gone down
like all the rest
but in alleyways so dark
we passed the test

we dropped the daylight
& killed the noise
chased the sunrise
by our own choice

we lost our names
and we traded lies
phantoms of terra
shadows & spies

I kicked the door down
to your apartment house
you were cold and gray
and hollowed out

I should’ve left you
my life was spent
but in my heart of hearts
you were the best

dropped the daylight
killed the noise
chased the sunset
by our own choice

we lost our names
as we traded lies
phantoms of terra we live this sentence
shadows & spies by our own device

phantoms of terra
shadows & spies

take my hand now
drop me off
burn the parcel
shut your mouth

kill the mark
and then disappear
no one will ever know
that we were here….
