[Verse 1]
I wake up in the mirror
But no one’s looking back at me
Skin and habit
Sleepwalk spirit
Fading in fluorescent bleach
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step feels secondhand
Like I’m watching someone else
Reaching out with empty hands
To the shelf where I once kept myself
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost of my former self
Hollow eyes in a borrowed shell
I keep moving
I keep moving
But there’s nothing left to tell
I’m a ghost of my former self
Just an echo in my own hell
I keep moving
I keep moving
Like a hollow man as well
[Verse 2]
Same black coffee
Same old doorway
People talk right through my face
Laugh on cue
I fake a story
Just to feel I still take space
[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh sounds out of tune
Like it’s coming through a wall
I remember wanting more
Now I just don’t want to fall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Day by day
I trace the outline
Of the fire I used to hold
Can I claw back through the concrete
Find a heartbeat in this cold?
[crescendo]
If there’s a spark inside the ashes
If there’s a name beneath this mask
I’ll tear these faded layers open
Feel the weight come crashing back
[Chorus]
