[Intro]
Tick… tick…
Little metal teeth just spin
Same sad song
I’m the ghost within
[Verse 1]
Room full of people, I’m not in it
Laughs in the air, I just mimic
Face in the glass, can’t stand that kid
Eyes so dry, but they feel like a rift
Scroll till my thumb goes numb
Everybody linked, I’m the missing one
Heart in my throat, can’t spit it out
Type “I’m fine” then delete the doubt
I keep waiting for a text that never lands
Staring at the dots like they’re holding out their hands
Every plan falls through, it’s a pattern, not a phase
Guess I’m built to be the extra in the frame
[Chorus]
I’m so lonely it’s loud in my chest
Like a drum that just pounds on my regrets
I just want love, is that too much?
Every time I reach out, everything rusts
I’m so empty it echoes when I breathe
Hollow heartbeat, nothing underneath
I just want love, but nobody wants me
And it’s soul crushing
Soul crushing
[Verse 2]
[xylophone-like music box fading, cello swelling, then the main riff shifts to soft piano]
Bed feels big like a parking lot
Whole side cold where a body’s not
Talk to the ceiling till my voice runs thin
Answer myself just to feel something
See my friends fall into arms so safe
I clap, I smile, then I scroll away
Third wheel, fourth wheel, spare part, spare tire
Burning out slow with a wet match fire
I keep asking what’s wrong with my face
With my laugh, with my thoughts, with my name, with my space
If I disappeared, would it matter at all?
Would my messages just freeze on read receipts and calls?
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[piano softer, almost whispered vocals]
Maybe I’m too much
Maybe I’m not enough
Maybe I was born
To never be touched
Hands in my pockets
Heart on the floor
If love is a house
Why can’t I find the door?
[Chorus]
