Ghost in my room (N3XTG3NN9NE COLLAB)

(Intro ambient pads, vocal chop build)

Ay, Next Gen and Exile made this shit

(Verse 1 – [female vocal] minimal piano, soft trap drums start halfway)

I still see your shadow on the wall

Laughin’ like you never left at all

Poppin’ pills to feel a little less

But they don’t take away the mess

I talk to the ceiling, it don’t reply

Sleepin’ on my side where you used to lie

Can’t delete your name from my phone

I guess I’m just scared of feelin’ alone

(Pre-Chorus – 808s swell, vocal layering, slight pitch FX)

Whispers in the dark, I hear you callin’

But you’re just a ghost, and I keep fallin’

Cold hands wrap around my throat

Tell me to let go, but I won’t, I won’t

(Chorus – big 808s, vocal chops echo last words)

You left your hoodie and your hurt

Now I’m buried in your words

I’m tryna breathe through all this smoke

Your love’s a fire and I just choke

You’re gone but still in every tune

Like a ghost that’s hauntin’ my room

You were my high, now I’m the low

I lost you, and myself in the blow

(Drop 1 melodic vocal chops repeating phrases, trap drums hit harder)

You were my high, now I’m the low…

You were my light, now I don’t glow…

You haunt my soul…

(Verse 2 – [male vocal] stripped-back beat, emotional delivery)

I’m a poet with a broken pen

Tryna write you out, again and again

You said forever, now it’s silence

Your love hit me with that sweet violence

I still wear your chain like a noose

Every heartbeat’s just more proof

You’re in my veins like ink in a tattoo

Faded, but I’ll never lose you

(Bridge – [male vocal] fade out, ambient background)

I still smell your perfume on the air

Still feel your fingers in my hair

I wish I could sleep without the dreams

But even in those, you still leave

(Chorus – [male vocal] same as above, male voice with autotune + reverb)

You left your hoodie and your hurt

Now I’m buried in your words

I’m tryna breathe through all this smoke

Your love’s a fire and I just choke

You’re gone but still in every tune

Like a ghost that’s hauntin’ my room

You were my high, now I’m the low

I lost you, and myself in the blow

(Drop 2 same drop with more layered vocal chops and glitchy fx)

You were my high, now I’m the low…

You were my light, now I don’t glow…

You haunt my soul…

(Outro – male + female vocal duet)

Ghost in my room… ghost in my room…

You never left… but you’re never you…
