“Ghost Of You”©️ -Written by Kj ***Instrumental *** Verse I: They say every rose has its thorns, yours were daggers. But still I held on as my hands drained lifeless (lifeless) You spoke in tongues that disguised all of your answers Now silence screams louder than all of your kindness. (Kindness) Chorus: So drag me down where the daylight dies. Buried in echoes of all your lies. You wore my love like a crown of rust. Now I choke on the ashes of broken trust. Still I reach through the flames for truth. (For love that knows no fault) but all that remains is the ghost of you. (All that remains) (Ghost of you) Verse II: Yet you turned away, here I stand You looked through me, like a ghost in the glass. Just a fractured reflection, you couldn’t withstand. A version of you that died in the past. And now you smile (that shit-eating grin) My blood ran cold, I felt it begin The truth in your eyes, so jagged, so cruel. You never meant well, I played the fool. Now I wear scars where your lies took hold. And curse my heart for the hope I sold. Chorus: So drag me down where the daylight dies. Buried in echoes of all your lies. You wore my love like a crown of rust. Now I choke on the ashes of broken trust. Still I reach through the flames for truth. (For love that knows no fault). But all that remains is the ghost of you. (All that remains) (Ghost of you) ***Instrumental shift*** soft Spoken part-poem- soft/whisper **instrumental** guitar 6 string picking solo featuring high hats, snare rim taps, keys. Verse III: You drew your blade and called it fate. While I stood, too numb to hate. You made the Final Cut, and watched me crawl. But I never broke, I bore it all. I bled like truth beneath you lie I begged for love beneath your knife. Still I rose - a fractured soul and as for you you lit a fire you couldn’t control Chorus: So drag me down where the daylight dies. Buried in echoes of all your lies. You wore my love like a crown of rust. Now I choke on the ashes of broken trust. Still I reach through the flames for truth. (For love that knows no fault). But all that remains is the ghost of you. (All that remains) (Ghost of you) Breakdown/Instrumental ~heavy Breakdown: Why couldn’t you have me (as I am) You wore the lie like it (fit your skin.) Why did you pretend (to love me) Now your descent finally begins You loved with the blade (Now taste the end) <BLEGH!> (NOW TASTE THE END) Outro: **Screams** As I rise from the wreckage you made Ashes of love fuel the flame You fed me lies but I forged a crown I wear your silence like thunder now. No chains, no graves, no curse no name I buried the ghost of you but I kept the pain You lost a war, you never know you started I walk away reborn, unbroken, un hearted. **Instrumental** Keys, Guitars, bass, drums, heavy then fade into keys only (8 counts) **FIN** “Ghost Of You” Written by Kj Copyrighted July 19, 2025©️ Kj Will share and be cross posted on platforms Sharing is allow
