Dressed in doubt and secondhand clothes... They hand me maps with missing roads... Say โJust believe,โ but I implode... [Verse 1 โ Clean/Screamed Mix] I tried to climb the ladder made of praise, But every step just ends in haze. I fake a smile, rehearse the lines, But Iโm the glitch in their design. I wear ambition like a borrowed suit, Too tight, too wrong, it doesnโt suit. My mirror screams, โYouโre not enough,โ And I nod like thatโs just normal stuff. [Pre-Chorus โ Clean, Melodic] Iโm drowning in applause Iโll never earn, A lesson they forgot to learn. Iโm sorry Iโm not who you needโ Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed. [Chorus โ Screamed/Anthemic] Iโm the ghost in your parade! The echo of plans that never stayed! Tried to be the light, became the shadeโ A monument to dreams that fade! Tell me how to win this war! When I donโt know what Iโm fighting for! Iโm sorry Iโm not who you needโ Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed! [Verse 2 โ Spoken/Screamed] I scribbled hope in bleeding ink, But the paper tore before I could think. They said success was just a game, But I never learned the rules or played the same. They cheer for dreams I couldnโt chase, While Iโm stuck in place, a pale disgrace. Iโm the echo of your expectations, A ghost in your celebrations. [Breakdown โ Screamed, Heavy Instrumentals] Iโm not the sparkโ Iโm the smoke! Iโm not the cureโ Iโm the choke! Iโm not the heroโ Iโm the hoax! Iโm not the fireโ Iโm the ash you spoke! [Chorus โ Repeat, More Aggressive] Iโm the ghost in your parade! The echo of plans that never stayed! Tried to be the light, became the shadeโ A monument to dreams that fade! Tell me how to win this war! When I donโt know what Iโm fighting for! Iโm sorry Iโm not who you needโ Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed! [Outro โ Whispered/Clean Fade] I wake up in a war I never chose... And I lose it every day.
