Verse 1
They don’t knock, they don’t speak
They don’t ask me what I need
Every morning, same old road
Same old weight I’ve always known
No shadows cast, no mirrors shake
No promises they need to make
They line up when the daylight shows
A silent parade of ghosts
Chorus
Marching slow behind my eyes
No drums, no flags, no battle cries
Just names I lost, just things I chose
Keeping time as the world goes
They don’t fade, they don’t invade
They just walk in the steps I made
Every mile, every coast
A silent parade of ghosts
Verse 2
One wears the jacket I outgrew
One smells like rain I once knew
One hums a song I never wrote
One’s just a throat that never spoke
They don’t judge, they don’t bless
They don’t care if I’m a mess
They count the days in broken notes
A steady line of ghosts
Chorus
Marching slow behind my eyes
No drums, no flags, no alibis
Just memories in borrowed clothes
Keeping rhythm as time slows
They don’t shout, they don’t boast
They don’t need me to notice
But every step I take is close
To the silent parade of ghosts
Bridge
Maybe they’re versions I outlived
Maybe they’re debts I never paid
Maybe they’re proof I stayed too long
Or left before I learned the song
But when the night gets thin and cold
And I forget what I was told
They close the ranks, they hold me close
Like pallbearers made of hope
Final Chorus
Still marching soft behind my eyes
Through open doors and closing skies
No end of road, no final post
Just breath and bone and ghosts
If I fall, they’ll fall in line
If I stand, they stand beside
Not to haunt, not to boast—
Just to walk
This silent parade of ghosts
Outro
So if you hear nothing but feel a crowd
If the quiet ever gets too loud
It’s just the ones who wouldn’t go—
Keeping step,
Wherever I go.
Whos there.
[Outro]
Tell me who's there!!!
