Ghost of Who I Was"
(Verse 1)
There's a shadow in the mirror, staring back at me
A ghost of who I was, who I swore I’d never be
Wearing the scars and holding the chains
Of a life I used to live, of battles in my veins
I walked a road of fire, tasted my own pain
Lost in a desert with nothing but my name
But here I stand now, shaking off the dust
With a heart that won’t quit, a soul that won’t rust
(Chorus)
I’m the man who’s been broken, yet somehow I rise
I carry my past but look to the skies
Through the voices, the demons, that scream in my head
I’ve chosen to live when I could’ve been dead
I’m haunted, I’m hardened, I’ve suffered and bled
But there’s more to this life, and I’ll fight 'til the end
I’ll turn every scar into a medal I’ll wear
I am more than my ghosts, I am more than despair
(Verse 2)
Every step feels heavy, every breath’s a war
But I’ve learned to hold tight, learned to want more
I’ve danced with the darkness, let it teach me to see
That strength isn’t built where it’s easy to be
With a past like mine, you learn to survive
But to find peace in the madness—that’s where you’re alive
And I know who I was, and I know what I’ve done
But my story ain’t over; it’s barely begun
(Chorus)
I’m the man who’s been broken, yet somehow I rise
I carry my past but look to the skies
Through the voices, the demons, that scream in my head
I’ve chosen to live when I could’ve been dead
I’m haunted, I’m hardened, I’ve suffered and bled
But there’s more to this life, and I’ll fight 'til the end
I’ll turn every scar into a medal I’ll wear
I am more than my ghosts, I am more than despair
(Bridge)
So here’s to the days I thought I’d never see
To the man I am now, and the man I can be
With the weight of my past still under my skin
I’ll climb from the ashes and breathe again
(Chorus)
I’m the man who’s been broken, yet somehow I rise
I carry my past but look to the skies
Through the voices, the demons, that scream in my head
I’ve chosen to live when I could’ve been dead
(Outro)
I’m haunted, I’m hardened, I’ve suffered and bled
But I’m standing here stronger, never giving in
I’ll turn every scar into a medal I’ll wear
I am more than my ghosts, I am more than despair
