Ghost in the Static

Song Title: Ghost in the Static

Tempo: 95 BPM (R&B/Chill Trap)

(Beat fades in with the filtered melody)

Yeah...

Sometimes you gotta lose it all to find yourself.

Keep the static, leave the rest.

3:00 AM, I’m staring at the ceiling fan

Tracing shadows, trying to find where we began

You were a habit, a toxic little lullaby

Singing me to sleep while looking me right in the eye

I used to check my phone like it was oxygen

Waiting on a text that never seemed to hit again

But now the silence is the loudest thing I own

And honestly? I’m better off being alone.

I don’t need you, I don’t need the drama

I’m moving through the rain, I don’t need the armor

You were a ghost in the static, a blur in the light

Now I’m finally breathing in the middle of the night

(Yeah, I’m breathing...)

I don’t need you.

(Beat drops back into that steady rhythm)

Saw your name pop up, I didn't feel a single thing

Used to be the king of pain, now I’m cutting every string

You liked the version of me that was broken and small

But I built a tower out of every single wall you let fall

No more "where you at?" no more "who you with?"

The love we had was nothing but a beautiful myth

So keep your apologies, keep the "I miss you"

I got a brand new life and it doesn't include you.

(Melody strips back, focus on the atmospheric pads)

It’s a cold world, but the fire’s in me

Finally seeing everything I couldn't see

From the ashes, yeah, the view is great

I’m not running from you, I’m just closing the gate.

I don’t need you, I don’t need the drama

I’m moving through the rain, I don’t need the armor

You were a ghost in the static, a blur in the light

Now I’m finally breathing in the middle of the night.

(Beat begins to filter out, leaving just the main synth line)

I don't need you...

(Static sounds)

Just a blur in the light.

Yeah.

(Fade to silence)

Production Tips for this Track:

* Vocal Style: Keep the verses low-energy and conversational (think Drake or 6LACK).

* Ad-libs: Use heavy reverb on the "I don't need you" echoes in the background to match the "ghostly" theme of the lyrics.

* The Hook: On the chorus, layer your vocals 2 or 3 times to make it feel wider and more powerful than the verses.
