Ghost King

You whisper like a ghost in a crowded room

Dragging my name through a cheap perfume

Say it sideways, say it through the crowd

Funny how you’re fearless when I’m not around

You talk big from the shadows

But crumble in the light

You love the attention

But won’t take the fight

You speak my name but won’t say it to my face

All that bark but you don’t got the bite

You throw dirt, try to put me in my place

But you vanish every time I’m in sight

Say it louder, I dare you to try

Say it where I can hear you this time

You want war? Then step in my space

Or shut your mouth—say it to my face

⸻

[Verse 2 – pressure

Aren’t you a hell’s angel, baby? we all know that’s a lie

All that fake tough talk—just a costume you hide

You claim you know bad, yeah you name-drop your crew

I know Marines, Army—real ones, not you

Yeah, I know United States military men

The kind that don’t talk, they just step in

Let’s not forget that night—you remember the scene?

You stayed away from my friend… yeah, you know what I mean

You play dangerous like you’re built for the fight

But you only get loud when I’m out of sight

All that ego, yeah it’s paper-thin pride

One look in your eyes and there’s nothing inside

⸻

When you don’t get your way, you act like a baby

Throwing little tantrums, calling it “crazy”

Spinning up stories just to look brave

But the truth hits different when it’s face to face

You tried to act big and tough till Jonny came around

Then it got real quiet, you were nowhere to be found

He watched you like a hawk, yeah you felt that gaze

Don’t worry, babe, we know the games you play

You name-drop people but it’s smoke and a name

Big talk, small circle—you barely got a name

All that flex, but it don’t land the same

When your whole persona’s just a recycled frame

⸻

No halo, no crown

Just a king of a ghost town

Big talk, break down

When the real ones come around

⸻

You speak my name but won’t say it to my face

All that talk but you don’t got the nerve

You built a stage but forgot your place

Now you’re choking on every word

Say it louder or don’t say it at all

I don’t fight shadows hiding in walls

You want me? then step in my space

Or disappear—say it to my face
