[Intro - Soft Spoken Female, Whispered, Sparse Piano] Hey… It’s Kay. Ghost Girl… Are you there? … I don’t know. I don’t even know what I’m trying to say anymore. I’m just… Here. Again. [Verse 1 - Intimate Rhythmic Talk-Singing, Slow Hip-Hop Beat] I’m in pieces… All over the floor. Crying in the dark. Wondering… What I’m even trying for. I keep picking myself up… Just to fall apart some more. And I’m tired. God… I’m tired. Of being everything and somehow… Still not enough. I wonder… Will I ever be enough for the people who love me? Or will they always see the pieces of me that are missing? And never… The ones I’ve been carrying. [Pre-Chorus - Gentle Melodic Lift, Distant Electric Guitar] I keep giving away pieces of myself. Until there’s nothing left… For anybody else. Not even me. Especially… Me. [Chorus - Haunting Emotional Singing, Restrained Alternative Rock] I’m in pieces all over the floor. Crying in the dark… I can’t do this anymore. Tell me… What am I trying for? When everything I give still leaves them wanting more. Ghost Girl… Can you see me? I’m right here. I’m still breathing. But I’m breaking… Quietly. And nobody seems to notice me. [Instrumental Break - Atmospheric Guitar, Soft Piano] [Verse 2 - Conversational Spoken Rap, Intimate and Vulnerable] Funny… How you can be surrounded by people who love you… And still feel completely alone. How you can spend your whole life trying to be enough… And forget what enough even means. I smile. I laugh. I show up. I listen. I love. And then… The lights go out. Everybody goes home. And I’m left here… Trying to put myself back together. Again. [Bridge - Nearly Spoken, Minimal Piano, Fragile Vocal] Maybe… I’m not broken. Maybe I’m just tired of being held together by expectations. Maybe… I don’t need somebody to fix me. Maybe I just need somebody to sit beside me… While I find the pieces. [Final Chorus - Emotional Singing, Warm Rock Guitar Build] I’m in pieces… All over the floor. Crying in the dark… I can’t do this anymore. I don’t know what I’m trying for. But I’m still here… Still searching… For something more. Ghost Girl… Can you hear me? I don’t need you to save me. Just… See me. [Outro - Soft Spoken Female, Fading Piano] Dear Journal… It’s Kay. 3:33 in the morning. And tonight… I don’t have the answers. Just… Pieces
