Ghost in Your Screen

Intro – Spoken/Sung, Atmosphärisch]

(sanftes Piano, Streicher, gedämpfter Beat)

“Another night in this quiet room…

I lie here alone, the sheets cold around me.

You’re scrolling somewhere far away,

And I’m just a ghost in your screen…”

I talk, you don’t answer, your eyes never leave

That little glow that makes me grieve

I smile, I bend, I wait, I fall

But you’re lost in your phone, not seeing at all

My hands reach for you, but you swipe past

Every message fades like it was never cast

I trace your name, feel the chill

The bed’s too big, my heart too still

I whisper, “I need you,” into the dark

Your silence hits like a piercing spark

I gave my love, all of me

But you’re somewhere else, can’t you see

I’m lying in this bed, alone with my pain

Crying myself to sleep, it’s always the same

You’re lost in your world, and I disappear

Love’s supposed to be close… but you’re never near

(Strings rise, soft piano)

A heart beats slow, in the dark, in the night

Alone in these sheets, longing for light

Late night shadows, I watch the clock tick

Your thumbs move faster than my heart can pick

I try to hold on, I try to stay strong

But loving you feels like a lifelong wrong

Every “I’ll call later” is a stone

Dropped in the lake of this empty home

I curl in myself, I hide my face

In the empty space of your digital embrace

I dream of whispers, of your arms around me

But the only warmth is the ghost I can’t see

I toss, I turn, I can’t sleep right

Your screen’s the sun in my endless night

I’m lying in this bed, alone with my pain

Crying myself to sleep, it’s always the same

You’re lost in your world, and I disappear

Love’s supposed to be close… but you’re never near

The sheets smell like yesterday

I talk to the walls, they don’t say

Anything back… just my tears on the floor

Your heart’s behind a screen, mine’s sore

I reach for you, you’re not there

I scream into silence, no one cares

This love was supposed to feel alive

But in your shadow, I barely survive

I scroll through memories that fade away

Every laugh, every touch, just shades of gray

Your thumbs fly, but your heart won’t move

I gave you everything, nothing to prove

The night drags on, I’m lost in thought

Alone with my tears for the love I brought

I whisper goodbye, but you’ll never hear

I’ve been invisible all these years

I’m lying in this bed, alone with my pain

Crying myself to sleep, it’s always the same

You’re lost in your world, and I disappear

Love’s supposed to be close… but you’re never near

(Violine, Streicher, Klavier, langsam verklingend)

One day I’ll rise, leave the shadows behind

No more tears, no more heartbreak confined

Alone in this bed, but I’ll find my light

No more ghosts, no more endless night

Turns out I’m second to a screen

Fuck you …
