Dressed in doubt and secondhand clothes... They hand me maps with missing roads... Say “Just believe,” but I implode... [Verse 1 – 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 I’m the glitch in their design. I wear ambition like a borrowed suit, Too tight, too wrong, it doesn’t suit. My mirror screams, “You’re not enough,” And I nod like that’s just normal stuff. [Pre-Chorus – Clean, Melodic] I’m drowning in applause I’ll never earn, A lesson they forgot to learn. I’m sorry I’m not who you need— Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed. [Chorus – Screamed/Anthemic] I’m the ghost in your parade! The echo of plans that never stayed! Tried to be the light, became the shade— A monument to dreams that fade! Tell me how to win this war! When I don’t know what I’m fighting for! I’m sorry I’m not who you need— Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed! [Verse 2 – 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 couldn’t chase, While I’m stuck in place, a pale disgrace. I’m the echo of your expectations, A ghost in your celebrations. [Breakdown – Screamed, Heavy Instrumentals] I’m not the spark— I’m the smoke! I’m not the cure— I’m the choke! I’m not the hero— I’m the hoax! I’m not the fire— I’m the ash you spoke! [Chorus – Repeat, More Aggressive] I’m the ghost in your parade! The echo of plans that never stayed! Tried to be the light, became the shade— A monument to dreams that fade! Tell me how to win this war! When I don’t know what I’m fighting for! I’m sorry I’m not who you need— Just a blueprint for failure, guaranteed! [Outro – Whispered/Clean Fade] I wake up in a war I never chose... And I lose it every day.
