Verse 1]
I ain’t afraid of the dark or the cold,
I’ve been living with shadows since I was ten years old.
They don’t rattle my chains, don’t shake my bed,
I invite ‘em in like old friends in my head.
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me when your lights flicker out,
When the past walks in and starts to shout.
I don’t blink, I don’t run,
I’ve made peace with a loaded gun.
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost hunter, babe,
Chasin’ what I couldn’t save.
They wear faces I used to know,
Whispers trailing where I go.
They don’t bleed, they don’t sleep,
But they haunt me underneath.
Yeah, I’m a ghost hunter, son—
But some ghosts, you don’t outrun.
[Verse 2]
There’s one in the rearview, smilin’ wide,
There’s one in the seat I keep on the side.
One hums lullabies I can't forget,
Another smells like fire and regret.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say ghosts ain’t real, just tricks and dust,
But I’ve buried too much not to trust.
And if you’ve lost more than you hold—
You know they follow, quiet and cold.
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost hunter, babe,
Fightin’ echoes every day.
They ain’t monsters, not all claws—
Some just stare and know your flaws.
They don’t scream, they don’t beg,
But they sleep where I lay my head.
Yeah, I’m a ghost hunter, friend—
But some ghosts, they never end.
[Bridge]
So don’t ask why I drink alone,
Why my smile feels carved in stone.
Every room I step inside—
They’re already waitin’, arms open wide.
[Final Chorus]
I’m a ghost hunter, sure,
But it’s my own I’m lookin’ for.
Not to kill, not to fight—
Just to feel them one more night.
So if you see me talk to air—
It’s just a voice that isn’t there.
Yeah, I’m a ghost hunter, true—
But they hunt me more than I do.
