[tape saturation, subtle analog warmth] [Arrangement: Keep Minimal Changes] Verse 1 The child in the corner, wide open eyes The rebel who lived just to cut the ties The dreamer who swore the future was bright The weight of a promise I carried inside Chorus Ghosts in the static, pulling me near All of my voices loud in my ear Faces of me that I can’t undo Ghosts in the static — every one was me too Verse 2 The student who never could close her eyes The partner who swore we’d never divide The caretaker holding what she couldn’t say The one who kept breaking but stayed anyway Chorus Ghosts in the static, pulling me near All of my voices loud in my ear Faces of me that I can’t undo Ghosts in the static — every one was me too Bridge If I break, will they take control? Stacked-up shadows swallowing whole If I fracture, will the signal die? Or will they scream through me for the rest of my life Final Chorus Ghosts in the static, pulling me near All of my voices loud in my ear Faces of me that I can’t undo Ghosts in the static — every one was me too Every one was me too
