Ghost in My Skin

(Verse 1)

I heard you say my name

But you weren’t even looking

Like I was just a flame

You lit without meaning

You laughed, I smiled back

But my chest was full of static

I nod, I play along

But it’s getting cinematic

(Pre-Chorus)

I float above the noise

But nobody sees me go

My voice is paper thin

My heart’s on silent mode

(Chorus)

I'm a ghost in my skin

Wearing pain like perfume

You don't ask where I’ve been

But I still haunt this room

I pretend I’m okay

Like it’s all just a phase

But I’m bleeding in style

And breaking with grace

(Verse 2)

You said “just one hit”

Like that’s all it ever takes

But I’ve already drowned

In the smoke of my mistakes

I don’t need your escape

I’m not looking to be numb

I just want to feel real

Even if it fucking stuns

(Pre-Chorus)

You say “chill, just relax”

But my mind’s a thunderstorm

There’s a war beneath my hoodie

And I can’t keep it warm

(Chorus)

I'm a ghost in my skin

Wearing pain like perfume

You don't ask where I’ve been

But I still haunt this room

I pretend I’m okay

Like it’s all just a phase

But I’m bleeding in style

And breaking with grace

(Bridge – soft whispers, almost crying)

If I said no

Would you still stay?

If I walked out

Would you call my name?

If I choose me

Will I be alone?

But maybe alone

Is better than gone

(Outro – fading like a dream)

I'm a ghost…

in my skin…

Still here…

Still thin…

Still trying…

to begin…
