Ghost in my own skin

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.
