[INTRO — MAD HOUSE MUSIC] Mad House Music... Mad House Entertainment... Yeah... Don't look behind you... You might see me. [HOOK] Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost This the place I hide, ain't nobody know Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost I'm still on the block where they buried my bones Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost When you feel alone, I'm closer than you know Exhale smoke... Watch the way it flows... Ain't that just like me... Baby, I'm a ghost. [VERSE 1 — THE ARRIVAL] Shut the windows, close the door Cut the lights, hear the floor Draw the circle, cross the line Step inside and lose your mind Something moved behind the curtain Something whispered, "You ain't certain" Cold air crawling down your spine You don't know if it's yours or mine I don't knock, I just appear I don't run, I disappear You can search the whole damn room Still won't find me in the gloom Walls talk and I hear every secret Dead air but I can still breathe it You think I'm gone when the room goes still Then my voice comes back through the windowsill [PRE-HOOK] You ever look into somebody's eyes And feel like they're already gone? Like they're standing right beside you But somehow they been gone all along? [HOOK] Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost This the place I hide, ain't nobody know Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost I'm still on the block where they buried my bones Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost When you feel alone, I'm closer than you know Exhale smoke... Watch the way it flows... Ain't that just like me... Baby, I'm a ghost. [VERSE 2 — THE DRIFT] Blunt lit, drift left, hand upon the wheel Ghost in the passenger seat, tell me what is real Volume turned up, ain't nobody talking Windows blacked out, shadows keep walking Slide through the city like a phantom in the mist Everybody knows the name, nobody knows the myth I can smell the lies, see the secrets they concealing Walls do talk, I'm the creature who can hear 'em I ain't gotta chase 'em I just phase through places Call it my gift Call it my curse Call it my shit When I'm gone, I leave a verse You can feel me when the temperature drops You can hear me when the music stops You can sense me when the hallway's empty I'm the thought in your head saying, "Don't forget me." [BRIDGE — THE REVELATION] Maybe I was a ghost before I ever disappeared Maybe I was screaming while nobody ever heard Maybe every scar became another piece of me Maybe being dead inside was how I learned to see I ain't looking for revenge I ain't searching for the end I'm just trying to leave a message Before the signal fades again [VERSE 3 — THE LEGACY] One day when the lights go out They'll remember what I was about Not the rumors, not the fear But every word I left right here Tell 'em 'bout the one who never switched Tell 'em 'bout the one who stayed authentic Tell 'em 'bout the nights I disappeared Then came back louder than the fear I was lost before they knew my name Walking through the fire, dancing with the flame Now every beat becomes another doorway Every song another chance to make the ghost stay [FINAL HOOK] Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost This the place I hide, ain't nobody know Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost I'm still on the block where they buried my bones Baby, I'm a ghost, baby, I'm a ghost When the room goes quiet, that's when I'm the closest Exhale smoke... Watch the way it flows... Ain't that just like me... Baby... I'm... A ghost. [OUTRO] Mad House Music... Mad House Entertainment... Lights off. Door closed. Music stops. Ghost remains.
