[VERSE 1]
I still hear the sirens
Echo through my head
Every time I close my eyes
I see the blood instead
Everybody says
“It wasn’t all your fault”
But their voices fade away
When the shadows start to talk
I tried to be a hero
Like the stories always said
But every step I’m taking now
Feels haunted by the dead
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
And every night
The walls grow colder
Every whisper pulls me under
⸻
[CHORUS]
I hear whispers in the static
Calling out my name
Telling me I’m dangerous
That I’ll never be the same
And I’m tired of pretending
That I’m stronger than I feel
When the darkness keeps on asking
If the monster in me’s real
So if I disappear tonight
Into the storm above the city lights
Will anybody fight to bring me home…
Or let me go?
⸻
[VERSE 2]
California burning
Purple skies and rain
Everybody’s looking at me
Like I’m the one to blame
I can feel her in my mind now
Moving underneath my skin
Every time I try to fight her
She just pulls me back again
And Winston says I’m hurting
Not broken beyond repair
But it’s hard to believe somebody
When Willow’s everywhere
⸻
[BUILD]
I don’t wanna lose myself
I don’t wanna fade away
I don’t wanna become
The thing we’re trying to save
⸻
[BIG CHORUS]
I hear whispers in the static
Breaking through my soul
Every ghost I’ve ever captured
Trying to pull me down below
And I know the world is falling
I can see it in the sky
But if saving everyone means losing me
Then maybe that’s alright…
⸻
[BRIDGE – quiet / emotional]
If my grandfather could see me now
Would he still believe?
Or would he look away
The same way I do in the mirror?
(faint whisper)
“Phoebe…”
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – orchestral explosion]
I hear whispers in the static
But I’m screaming through the noise
And somewhere underneath the fear
I still hear my own voice
So if the whole world’s ending
And the darkness takes the sky
Then let them know the Ghostbusters
Were never meant to die
⸻
[OUTRO – soft piano]
(faint radio static)
WHISPER (V.O.)
“…Soon everything ends…”
(proton pack powering on)
PHOEBE (softly)
“No… not today.”
