[Verse]
Waking up to voices cold as stone
Days collide I face them all alone
Every smile I fake it burns my chest
Why can't I just be enough like the rest
[Chorus]
I'm a ghost in my own home
Silence cuts deeper than they'd ever know
Their love feels like a locked door
Always a little less but craving more
[Verse 2]
Dinner smiles but they don’t see my eyes
Thick air heavy with words left to die
I’m a shadow in a picture-perfect frame
All their rules never knew my name
[Chorus]
I'm a ghost in my own home
Silence cuts deeper than they'd ever know
Their love feels like a locked door
Always a little less but craving more
[Bridge]
I paint dreams in the colors they deny
Scribble secrets on walls while I cry
Maybe someday they'll turn the light to see
Who I am beyond who they want me to be
[Verse 3]
The silence screams it's hard to sleep
Their prayers can’t reach me it's buried deep
But in this dark I find my fire
A quiet voice that fights their choir
