Sad college competition

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Whisper on the line, midnight call,
Phantom’s got the game on his wrist, no stall.

[VERSE 1]
He’s a phantom on the field, a virtual king,
PS5’s glow, he’s chasing that bling.
College dreams in the glow of neon lights,
But the real world’s shadows creep into nights.

Addicted to the calm, a bottle and a pill,
Xanax in the pocket, it’s a bitter thrill.
Mom’s phone rings, she’s on the line,
“Call the cops!” she yells, “You’ve lost your mind.”

[CHORUS]
Phantom, phantom, lost in your own world,
You’re flying high, but your feet never twirled.
From the field to the jail, from the beat to the bruise,
In padded rooms where the truth gets no use.

[VERSE 2]
A DUI, the lights flash, the siren wails,
The law takes the kid who’s never been frail.
Locked behind bars, a nightmare inside,
A hospital bed where the echoes collide.

Mom’s tears drip, the hospital’s glare,
Phantom’s eyes reflect the city’s glare.
Out he walks, the streets feel cold,
But he’s still chasing stories yet untold.

[CHORUS]
Phantom, phantom, lost in your own world,
You’re flying high, but your feet never twirled.
From the field to the jail, from the beat to the bruise,
In padded rooms where the truth gets no use.

[BRIDGE]
Lights flicker, memories replay,
Every step he takes is a new cliché.
He’s chasing shadows, but the truth is real,
A life unplanned, a future he can’t steal.

[CHORUS]
Phantom, phantom, lost in your own world,
You’re flying high, but your feet never twirled.
From the field to the jail, from the beat to the bruise,
In padded rooms where the truth gets no use.

[OUTRO]
In the silence after the night,
The phantom’s story fades from sight.
But the echo of the sirens
