(Verse 1) I’m catching glimpses in the hallway glass Of a stranger’s face as the shadows pass I reach for the handle, I reach for the light But my fingers slip through the velvet night You took the oxygen, you took the spark And left me wandering here in the dark I used to have a name, I used to have a sound Now I’m just footsteps that don't touch the ground. (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a ghost of the life I used to lead Bleeding out emotions I no longer need You broke the spirit, you shattered the soul Left a jagged crater where I once was whole Now I don’t recognize the man in the frame Just a hollow echo of a forgotten name Yeah, I’m a ghost, just a ghost of my life. (Verse 2) The mental weight is a heavy chain A rhythmic pulsing of familiar pain You rewired the circuits inside of my head Now I’m a library of things left unsaid I try to remember the person before The one who didn't keep his eyes on the floor But the memory’s thin, it’s paper and dust Dissolving away in this circle of trust. (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a ghost of the life I used to lead Bleeding out emotions I no longer need You broke the spirit, you shattered the soul Left a jagged crater where I once was whole Now I don’t recognize the man in the frame Just a hollow echo of a forgotten name Yeah, I’m a ghost, just a ghost of my life. (Bridge) (Spoken/Whispered) Identity is a fragile thing... One touch, one lie, and it starts to wing away. (Sung - Building Intensity) You didn't just leave, you erased the map! You fell through the floor and you left the gap! I’m haunting the rooms of my own damn house! Quiet as a shadow, quiet as a mouse! (Guitar Solo - Distorted and Crying) (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a ghost of the life I used to lead Bleeding out emotions I no longer need You broke the spirit, you shattered the soul Left a jagged crater where I once was whole Now I don’t recognize the man in the frame Just a hollow echo of a forgotten name Yeah, I’m a ghost, just a ghost of my life. (Outro) Just a ghost... I don't know who I am anymore. (Fade out with the sound of a closing door) I'm not here. I'm not here.
