Ghost in Your Peripheral

[Verse 1]
You act like you don’t even know
Turn away when our eyes meet
You rewrote the story so slow
Now somehow I’m the one who cheats
You sharpened your words on my name
Cut me out
Then called it healing
You know what you did
Still you say
I’m the reason you stopped feeling
[Chorus]
I’m everywhere you are
In the corner of your gaze
You can’t look too far
I’m the shadow you can’t shake
You feel me in your bones
Every step you try to fake
I feel like a ghost
And you’re the one who made me this way
(you made me this way)
[Verse 2]
You flinch when you hear my song
Still swear you don’t think of me
Your friends say you “moved on”
But they see your hands still shake
You scroll past my face like a stain
But you freeze on the smallest frame
Pretend I’m erased from your days
While my name keeps burning in your brain
[Chorus]
I’m everywhere you are
In the corner of your gaze
You can’t look too far
I’m the shadow you can’t shake
You feel me in your bones
Every step you try to fake
I feel like a ghost
And you’re the one who made me this way
(you made me this way)
[Bridge]
You built this distance brick by brick
Buried truth beneath your tongue
But every lie you stacked so thick
Still spells my name in your lungs
So run from the mirror
Run from the past
I’ll haunt every silence
You thought would last
[Chorus]
I’m everywhere you are
In the corner of your gaze
You can’t look too far
I’m the shadow you can’t shake
You feel me in your bones
Every step you try to fake
I feel like a ghost
And you’re the one who made me this way
[Outro]
You act like you don’t even know
But I’m there when you close your eyes
I feel like a ghost
And you can’t kill what you won’t recognize

metal, Modern female-fronted metal, drop-tuned guitars with chuggy palm mutes in the verses and wide open chords in the chorus. Vocals shift from confessional clean melodies to gritty, pushed belts; occasional layered screams on key words. Drums ride a driving double-time groove into the hook, then half-time crash hits for impact. Bass glues the low end with a touch of distortion; subtle ambient guitar swells in the bridge to heighten the haunt before the final, explosive chorus.
