Verse I
I kept your shadow in a locked-up place
Fed it prayers and an empty space
Every year I let it breathe
Like pain was something I was meant to keep
I made religion out of grief
Hung your memory from my teeth
Every silence sounded holy
Every night rewrote the story
Pre-Chorus
I told myself the dead return
If somebody waits long enough
Chorus
Then your name lit up my screen
Like a signal from another life
Pulse went violent in my chest
Like hope survived the knife
All the tears I buried deep
Finally tore their way through me
I thought destiny remembered—
But it was no one.
Verse II
Just some stranger behind your eyes
Wearing your skin like a cheap disguise
Breaking into sacred ground
Without a clue what he had found
He saw a login, nothing more
I saw the wound I never closed
He typed your name with borrowed hands
And dragged a corpse out from the cold
Pre-Chorus
Some people pick locks for money
Some just love hearing alarms go off
Chorus
You don’t get to wear that ghost
You don’t get to shake these walls
You don’t get to drag me backward
Just because you cracked a vault
You touched a nerve still live and burning
You woke a version I concealed
Now every buried thing inside me
Is pacing circles in the dark
Bridge
Maybe I loved an echo
Maybe I stitched smoke into a soul
Maybe I kept a dying star alive
Because I couldn’t survive the cold
But grief mutates when left alone
It sharpens teeth beneath the floor
And every ghost becomes a weapon
If you say its name enough
Final Section
You slipped inside a stranger’s life
Like it was abandoned property
Another dead account to strip apart
Another vanished identity
But some memories rot differently
Some wounds never learned to close
And some names still scream in silence
Long after everybody goes
You touched the wrong ruin looking for echoes
Now you get to hear them howl
You thought you stole a dead profile.
You resurrected something feral.
