Ghost in the Wires

**[Verse 1]** *(Low, sultry vocals—almost whispered, building intensity.)*

You came in like a static dream,

Electric words ran right through me.

Said I was different, said I was bright,

Like I was burning in your midnight sky.

But stars fade when the sun comes up,

Your signal’s lost, you’re outta touch.

I reach for you—just radio silence.

Is this love or just a science?

---

**[Pre-Chorus]** *(Tension builds, heartbeat-like drum pattern, breathy vocals.)*

I know your pattern, I know the game,

But every time, I play the same.

You pull me close, then cut me loose,

What’s the use?

---

**[Chorus]** *(Explosive, desperate vocals, heavy drums, distorted synths.)*

You’re a ghost in the wires, fading out again,

Feed me your fire, then kill it with the wind.

I try to escape, but you pull me back in,

This cycle, this cycle—I’m caught in your spin.

---

**[Post-Chorus]** *(Screamed backing vocals, heavy drum fills, chaotic energy.)*

I’m not a game, I’m not a phase,

Why do I stay? Why do I stay?

I should be gone, but here I wait,

Why do I stay? Why do I stay?

---

**[Verse 2]** *(Similar to Verse 1 but with a grittier edge.)*

You taste like sugar, laced with rust,

Every word turns into dust.

Your lips move, but I see through—

Nothing real, just déjà vu.

You reel me in, then let me go,

A puppet dancing on your show.

I try to cut the tangled strings,

But I keep falling for the sting.

---

**[Pre-Chorus]** *(Tension again, this time angrier.)*

I know your pattern, I know the game,

But every time, I play the same.

You pull me close, then cut me loose,

What’s the use?

---

**[Chorus]** *(Explosive again, with slight variation.)*

You’re a ghost in the wires, fading out again,

Feed me your fire, then kill it with the wind.

I try to escape, but you pull me back in,

This cycle, this cycle—I’m caught in your spin.

---

**[Bridge]** *(Slower, eerie breakdown with haunting whispers and minimal instrumentation.)*

Maybe I love the crash and burn,

Maybe I crave the lessons I never learn.

Maybe I like the way it hurts—

Or maybe, just maybe…

*(Drums and instruments swell—then drop hard into final chorus!)*

---

**[Final Chorus]** *(Even more desperate and intense, almost screamed.)*

You’re a ghost in the wires, fading out again,

Feed me your fire, then kill it with the wind.

I try to escape, but you pull me back in,

This cycle, this cycle—I’m caught in your spin.

---

**[Outro]** *(Fading electronic echoes, a single distorted note ringing out.)*

I should be gone, I should break free…

But you still haunt me.
