Verse 1
I never lose my shadows,
they cling to every step I take.
Sinking through the darkness,
every day another weight I break.
Actors, stars on silver screens—
they live the life I only dream—
a world that wasn’t made for me,
or anyone who falls unseen.
Pre Chorus
But I’m still breathing,
holding on with fractured will.
If I ever let go,
I’d be long gone, standing still.
Chorus
’Cause I’m a ghost in my own skin,
lost between the now and then.
Life or death, it feels the same—
just two versions of the pain.
I reach for love, I reach for fire,
but nothing ever reaches back.
Still I walk through all the shadows,
’cause fading out is not my track.
Verse 2
Family, friends, they pull and press,
trying to shape me into “useful” flesh.
But this world was never built for me—
it cuts too deep, too endlessly.
I wander through a silent storm,
adrift without a place to stand,
but even in the coldest night,
I fight with trembling hands.
Pre Chorus
And though I’m breaking,
there’s a spark that won’t stay down.
Even in the darkest hour,
I won’t surrender to the ground.
Chorus
’Cause I’m a ghost in my own skin,
lost between the now and then.
Life or death, it feels the same—
just two versions of the pain.
I reach for love, I reach for fire,
but nothing ever reaches back.
Still I walk through all the shadows,
’cause fading out is not my track.
Bridge (episch, emotional)
I’m not dying—
I’m surviving
in a world that never saw me rise.
I may be hollow,
but I follow
every spark that lights the skies.
I’m still here,
and I’m still fighting—
even ghosts can learn to rise.
Final Chorus
I’m a ghost in my own skin,
but I won’t let the dark win.
Life or death, I feel the strain,
but I keep walking through the pain.
I reach for love, I reach for fire,
and someday something will reach back.
I’m still walking through the shadows—
but I’m staying on my track.
