DISAPPEAR LIKE A GHOST (Intro) You don’t know the hell I’ve been through… You don’t know the price I paid… I’ve been fighting something deep inside, While the world keeps looking the other way. (Whispered) Away… away… I disappear like a ghost. (Verse 1) You don’t know the hell I’ve been through, All the nights I spent with nothing to lose. You see the scars, but you don’t see the pain, You see me standing, never saw me break. I paid the price with the man I was, Traded my heart for a little more trust. Every bit of love that I could’ve given, Buried it deep with the life I was living. Now I’m face-to-face with the things I created, Built my own cage, now I’m trapped and hated. These creatures I raised in the back of my mind, Come out to play when I’m losing the fight. I keep my mouth shut, got nothing to say, Another piece of me just fades away. I scream in silence, they don’t hear the sound, I’m still alive, but I’m halfway underground. (Pre-Chorus) Can you see the demon I’m facing? Can you feel this soul that’s breaking? I’ve been running from myself so long, I don’t know where the hell I belong. (Chorus) You don’t know the hell I’ve been through, You don’t know what the darkness can do. I lost my heart somewhere along the way, Now there’s nothing left that I can save. I’m going down, away, away, Like a shadow that the light can’t trace. Call my name, but I’m already gone, I disappear like a ghost in the fog. (Distorted vocals) Away! Away! I’m fading away! I disappear like a ghost! (Verse 2) Every demon wears a face I know, Every nightmare has a place called home. I made these monsters with my own two hands, Now they control me; I don’t understand. I gave my love till the well ran dry, Kept every truth locked up inside. I played the strong one, swallowed the shame, Now all that’s left is a hollow name. Close my mouth, let the silence speak, I’m tired of pretending that I’m not weak. What a waste of the man I could’ve been, Another lost soul underneath my skin. I don’t need saving, or maybe I do, I’m sick of lying when I say I’m through. If there’s a light, it’s too far away, So I walk with the monsters that know my name. (Pre-Chorus) Can you see the demon I’m facing? Can you feel this soul that’s breaking? I’ve been running from myself so long, I don’t know where the hell I belong. (Chorus) You don’t know the hell I’ve been through, You don’t know what the darkness can do. I lost my heart somewhere along the way, Now there’s nothing left that I can save. I’m going down, away, away, Like a shadow that the light can’t trace. Call my name, but I’m already gone, I disappear like a ghost in the fog. (Distorted vocals) Away! Away! I’m fading away! I disappear like a ghost! (Bridge) Maybe I was never meant to be whole, Maybe these demons have swallowed my soul. Maybe the man that I used to be Is just another dead memory. But deep in the silence, beneath all the pain, There’s something still breathing, still calling my name. I’m not just the damage, not just the cost, Not just the battles, not just what’s lost. (Whispered, building into a scream) I’M STILL HERE! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? (Outro) You don’t know the hell I’ve been through… You don’t know the price I paid… Away… away… I fade into the gray. The monsters I made still follow me, But they don’t get to decide who I’ll be. (Fading whisper) I disappear like a ghost… But I’m not gone.
