[Intro – whispered, eerie synths]
They don’t sleep…
They don’t leave…
The ghosts still breathe inside of me.
[Verse 1]
Shadows crawl under my skin,
Every whisper drags me back in.
They say “you failed, you’ll never be free,”
Their voices are chains, wrapping ‘round me.
I hide the scars where no one can see,
But the mirror bleeds them back at me.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve buried the past, but it digs through bone,
I walk with ghosts, but I’m not alone.
[Chorus]
Ghosts in my skin, tearing me thin,
Screaming my sins where the dark begins.
They claw, they bite, but I won’t give in,
I’ll burn through the night with the ghosts in my skin.
[Verse 2]
Every step feels like walking graves,
Every dream another chain enslaves.
I’ve prayed for silence, I’ve begged for sleep,
But the shadows wake what I can’t keep.
Noose in the corner, gun to my head,
The ghosts remind me I should be dead.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve buried the past, but it digs through bone,
I walk with ghosts, but I’m not alone.
[Chorus]
Ghosts in my skin, tearing me thin,
Screaming my sins where the dark begins.
They claw, they bite, but I won’t give in,
I’ll burn through the night with the ghosts in my skin.
[Bridge – screamed / chaotic]
You think I’m broken, but I still breathe,
Every scar is proof I don’t leave.
The ghosts can haunt, they can sink their teeth,
But I’m still standing, I won’t concede.
[Final Chorus – heavier, layered]
Ghosts in my skin, tearing me thin,
Screaming my sins where the dark begins.
They claw, they bite, but I won’t give in,
I’ll bleed, I’ll fight with the ghosts in my skin.
[Outro – fading, whispered]
They don’t sleep…
They don’t leave…
But they’ll never bury me.
