[Verse 1]
The mirror’s reflecting a stranger today
A shadow of someone who’s drifted away.
It seemed like magic, a spark in a pill
But it’s hollow and heavy, it’s making you still.
The walls of the kitchen are quiet and cold
While stories of sorrow are silently told
A mother is praying, her head in her hands
Watching a life slip through hourglass sands.
[Verse 2]
It starts with a promise of peace for a night
But steals every morning and kills every light
It’s a debt to a dealer who never gets paid
In the wreckage of choices and trust now betrayed.
A brother is watching, he’s losing his guide
There’s nowhere for all of that poison to hide
The spark in the spirit is starting to dim
Caught in a cycle that’s jagged and grim.
[Chorus]
So say no, stand firm on the line
Before running out of the spirit and time
It’s a lie in the pocket, a weight in the chest
Put all the demons and needles to rest
Say no for the family, say no for the soul
Before the addiction takes final control
Just walk from the fire, let the healing begin
Say no to the ghost that is living within.
[Verse 3]
The riches once promised are nothing but dust
A fracture of faith and a murder of trust
A daughter is calling, she needs you to stay
Don't let the chemicals wash you away
The strength isn't found in a powder or smoke
It’s found when the chains of the habit are broke
Look at the damage, the tears, and the cost
Think of the years that have already been lost.
[Chorus]
So say no, stand firm on the line
Before running out of the spirit and time
It’s a lie in the pocket, a weight in the chest
Put all the demons and needles to rest
Say no for the family, say no for the soul
Before the addiction takes final control
Just walk from the fire, let the healing begin
Say no to the ghost that is living within.
[Electric guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Say no, stand firm on the line
The path is ahead and the future can shine
It’s a lie in the pocket, a weight in the chest
Put all the demons and needles to rest
Say no for the family, say no for the soul
Take back the power, take back the control
Just walk from the fire, let the healing begin
Say no to the ghost that is living within
(Say no,Say no,Say no,Say no)
Say no, stand firm on the line
The path is ahead and the future can shine
It’s a lie in the pocket, a weight in the chest
Put all the demons and needles to rest
Say no for the family, say no for the soul
Take back the power, take back the control
Just walk from the fire, let the healing begin
Say no to the ghost that is living within (Say no,Say no,Say no,Say no)
Say no, stand firm on the line
The path is ahead and the future can shine
It’s a lie in the pocket, a weight in the chest
Put all the demons and needles to rest
Say no for the family, say no for the soul
Take back the power, take back the control
Just walk from the fire, let the healing behind
Say no to the ghost that is living within
(Say no,Say no,Say no,Say no)
Say no to the ghost that is living within.
