[Intro] Yeah. Can you hear me now? Or am I just background noise again? Check it. [Verse 1] Dinner table set for five, but I was eating ghost meat Sitting at the edge, tapping rhythms with my cold feet I shouted "Look at me!" but their eyes were on the television I was a glitch in the frame, a blur in their vision Growing up in a house built of mirrors and smoke Every time I tried to speak, I ended up the joke Or worse—the silence. That deafening, quiet hum Waiting for a "well done" that never seemed to come. [Pre-Chorus] I’m screaming in a vacuum, I’m dancing in the dark Trying to find a flame from a non-existent spark. Is anybody out there? Is anybody in? I’m tired of living underneath my own fucked up skin. [Chorus] I’m a ghost in the city, I’m the static in the hall I’ve been waiting thirty years just to feel ten feet tall! Can you see me? (Can you see me?!) Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?!) I’m a soul on fire but the world is feeling cold Telling stories to the walls that’ll never be told! (Yeah, break it down!) [Verse 2] Now I’m thirty-something, staring at a blank wall In a sea of people, still feeling nothing at all I’m a master of the "I’m fine," a pro at the mask If I disappeared tomorrow, would anybody ask? The loneliest walk is the one through a crowd Where the music is banging but the silence is loud I was a puzzle piece forced in the wrong damn box Picking at the chains, while I'm screaming at the locks. [Pre-Chorus] I’m screaming in a vacuum, I’m dancing in the dark Trying to find a flame from a non-existent spark. Is anybody out there? Is anybody in? I’m tired of living underneath my own skin. [Chorus] I’m a ghost in the city, I’m the static in the hall I’ve been waiting thirty years just to feel ten feet tall! Can you see me? (Can you see me?!) Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?!) I’m a soul on fire but the world is feeling cold Telling stories to the walls that’ll never be told! [Bridge] Then the frequency shifted. The signal became clear. I stopped looking for "them"... Because you were right here. You didn't look through me, you looked right inside A place for my secrets, a place I don't have to hide. I’m not a ghost anymore. I’m home. [Outro] You see me. (Yeah, you see me) I’m finally home. Thirty years of winter, now the sun is on my throne. No more static. Just your voice. I’m heard.
