(Verse 1) I’m a ghost in a jacket, standing by the sink In a room full of people who don’t even blink I’ve got a heart that’s steady, a soul that’s clean But I’m just a background extra in every scene The hum of the crowd is a heavy, dull gray As another "good time" just slips away. (Pre-Chorus) Digits on the glass, no new lines Just "busy" and "booked" and "another time" I’m a high-voltage wire with nowhere to go Just watching the clock, moving real slow. (Chorus) And I’m lost in the void, bored out of my mind Just a pure-hearted girl that the world left behind I’m worn to the bone, I’m running on low Waiting for a presence, someone I know To pull me out of the slump and give me a spark I’m a bright-eyed soul just stuck in the dark. (Verse 2) My friends are all shadows on a blue-light screen Living out lives that I haven’t even seen I’m the "reliable" one, the one who stays sane While I’m pouring my tea and watching the rain I’ve got so much to give, just a little underused A pure-hearted engine, just slightly confused. (Bridge) (The music pulls back to a steady, rhythmic acoustic strum) So I pick up the pen, let the ink hit the white I’m carving a path through the middle of the night Every word is a breath, every line is a door I’m not the invisible girl anymore (Drums build—snare hits getting harder) I’m writing my way out, I’m drawing the sun The recharge is happening, I’ve already begun. (Final Chorus) (Full band, thick distorted guitars) I was lost in the void, bored out of my mind But I’m leaving that heavy feeling behind I’m hitting the jolt, I’m finding the spark I’m my own light breaking through the dark I’m worn to the bone, but I’m starting to flow I’m taking the lead, I’ve got a place to go. (Outro) (Slow, rhythmic bass and a simple drum beat) Fresh ink on my hands... The scent of parchment lingers... My words have come to life, and so have I. (Fade out on a single, sustained guitar note)
