Dorian - Fading Victory

[Intro] [Chorus] The golden trophy sits upon the shelf A hollow crown I wear all by myself The crowd is roaring for the winner's name But victory and heartbreak feel the same You are the phantom pulse I cannot find The elusive ghost that occupies my mind [Verse] I climbed the mountain just to see the view But every peak just points away from you The flashing lights are blinding in the hall I reached the summit just to watch us fall I hold the prize but feel the heavy cost Counting the seconds of the love I lost Your memory is a puzzle left undone A battle finished that was never won [Chorus] The golden trophy sits upon the shelf A hollow crown I wear all by myself The crowd is roaring for the winner's name But victory and heartbreak feel the same You are the phantom pulse I cannot find The elusive ghost that occupies my mind [Verse] The calendar is bleeding through the ink I try to move but find no room to think You are the mystery I could never solve The axis where my restless dreams revolve I keep your photograph beneath the glass Watching the shadows of the seasons pass Success is bitter when the house is still An aching void that glory cannot fill [Chorus] The golden trophy sits upon the shelf A hollow crown I wear all by myself The crowd is roaring for the winner's name But victory and heartbreak feel the same You are the phantom pulse I cannot find The elusive ghost that occupies my mind [Chorus] The golden trophy sits upon the shelf A hollow crown I wear all by myself The crowd is roaring for the winner's name But victory and heartbreak feel the same You are the phantom pulse I cannot find The elusive ghost that occupies my mind [Outro]
