Written by Aura and Nexus [Haunting Instrumental piano intro] [Verse 1] They sit three feet from the couch where I am forced to read. I calculate the space between Julian’s hand and Chloe’s knee. Their simple laughter takes up all the air and all the light. I hate the way I disappear into the night. [Chorus] Is it his eyes I crave, or the way she gets to shine? I'm the quiet ghost that walks the hallways of her mind. I hate the way I feel like I'm nothing when you're near, And the ugliest truth is, I just want to disappear. [Verse 2] I watch them for the shadow, the crack inside the stone. I look for signs that Chloe might prefer to be alone. I scan for any flicker that Julian might be bored, But the only flaw I ever find is my own unbroken word. [Chorus] Is it his eyes I crave, or the way she gets to shine? I'm the quiet ghost that walks the hallways of her mind. I hate the way I feel like I'm nothing when you're near, And the ugliest truth is, I just want to disappear. [Instrumental piano break] [Bridge] I stepped away from the window, and the glass reflected me. The shadow on the surface was the woman I refused to be. I realized all the light I craved wasn't theirs to give away, It was just the raw reflection of the shine I dimmed today. [Outro] I won't watch the couch again, or calculate the cost. Just the quiet sound of a hallway where a ghost got lost. [Fade to End]
