Burn the Ghost Out

[Verse 1]
You wore your halo like a loaded gun
Said I was everything, then you turned to none
Twisted truth ‘til I couldn’t breathe
Made me doubt every part of me

Yeah, you fed on the cracks in my chest
Turned love into some sick test
Every word was a knife you’d hide
With a smile while I bled inside

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept crawling back through the dirt
Just to feel something worse than hurt

[Chorus]
You fucked me up, yeah you tore me down
Left me buried six feet underground
But I’m screaming now, I won’t stay dead
I hear the fire inside my head
You don’t own me, you never did
I was lost in the lies you hid
Now I’m clawing out, I see the sun
I’ll burn your ghost till it’s fucking gone

[Verse 2]
You played god with a shattered crown
Built me up just to break me down
Every “I love you” tasted fake
Like poison dressed as something safe

I was drowning in your control
Every piece of me you stole
Made me hate who I’d become
But I’m not who I was when I was numb

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m done being your disease
Cut you out, now I can breathe

[Chorus]
You fucked me up, yeah you tore me down
Left me buried six feet underground
But I’m screaming now, I won’t stay dead
I hear the fire inside my head
You don’t own me, you never did
I was lost in the lies you hid
Now I’m clawing out, I see the sun
I’ll burn your ghost till it’s fucking gone

[Bridge] (Breakdown – slow, heavy, emotional)
You had me thinking I was nothing
Just a shadow you could control
But I found a spark in the darkness
Yeah, I found a piece of my soul

I’m not your mirror anymore
I won’t bleed just to keep you warm
You can choke on every word you said
I’m alive—you’re fucking dead

[Final Chorus] (bigger, anthemic)
You fucked me up, but I’m still here
Through every scar, through every fear
I’m rising up from the wreckage now
No more chains, I won’t bow down
You don’t own me, you never will
I broke free from your poison spill
Now I’m standing in the light I found
And your ghost won’t drag me down

[Outro] (quiet → explosive)
I see the light… I feel it burn…
Every lesson I had to learn…
You lost control… I took it back…
And I’m never fading into black
