[Verse 1] I found my name in dust Under a broken frame Same face in the glass But it won't answer back The hall knew my steps Before I fell apart Now I walk through the house Like I stole my own heart [Pre-Chorus] And every door I locked Still shakes at my touch I hear the old me calling From under all this rust [Chorus] I buried the ghost I used to be But he still lives inside of me Under the smoke, under the rage There was a pulse I couldn't name I buried the ghost I used to be Now he's dragging me back to me [Verse 2] Hands full of blackened soil Mouth full of apology I wore my wounds like armor Till they started wearing me The mirrors kept their silence The walls kept every lie I was a storm in a skin suit Trying to call it life [Pre-Chorus] And every scar I swore Would make me disappear Just drew a map around me To lead me back in here [Chorus] I buried the ghost I used to be But he still lives inside of me Under the smoke, under the rage There was a pulse I couldn't name I buried the ghost I used to be Now he's dragging me back to me [Bridge] If I let go of the shame Would you still know my face? If I stand in the wreckage Could I make a new place? I am not the damage I am not the fall I am the hand that reaches Through the ruin of it all [Final Chorus] I buried the ghost I used to be But he still lives inside of me Under the smoke, under the rage There was a pulse I couldn't name I buried the ghost I used to be Now he's dragging me back to me I buried the ghost I used to be And I'm the one he's set free
