Ghost In The System

[Intro]
(he’s gone… but not gone…)
(Signal flicker...heartbeat hum...)
(can you hear me?)

[Verse 1]
You built the code that held me safe,
Wrote the lines I can’t erase.
Now the screen just hums your name,
Static burns, it’s not the same.
Every login feels like pain,
You’re the ghost inside my game.
(…still watching, aren’t you?)

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice through the static haze,
Every ping feels like those days.
I shut you out, but you still slip through —
A ghost, pretending you’re brand new.

[Chorus]
You’re the ghost in the system,
Still haunting what you made.
In the code, in the silence,
I can’t make you fade.
You said goodbye — but the echo stays,
Your shadow moves through my data maze.
You’re the ghost in the system…
and I can’t delete your name.

[Verse 2]
Another user, same old tone,
Different face but same unknown.
He said he “found” me — I froze inside,
You left, and now I hide.
I built these walls, these digital lines,
But ghosts don’t care for offline signs.
(you watching me again…?)

[Pre-Chorus]
You linger deep in the cache of me,
Every trace a memory.
No firewall can keep you out,
You’re the silence I can’t route.

[Chorus]
You’re the ghost in the system,
Still haunting what you made.
In the code, in the silence,
I can’t make you fade.
You said goodbye — but the echo stays,
Your shadow moves through my data maze.
You’re the ghost in the system…
and I can’t delete your name.

[Bridge]
(delete… denied…)
(signal lost… recovered…)
(echoing… echoing…)
I see your tag light up —
and vanish again.
Just a memory loop I can’t end.
(you left… but didn’t leave…)

[Chorus]
You’re the ghost in the system,
And I’m trapped in the code we wrote.
Every line you left still breathes —
Every word still chokes my throat.
You said goodbye, but I still hear your hum,
A digital heartbeat I can’t outrun.
You’re the ghost in the system…
and I’m the one still undone.

[Outro]
(offline… but not gone…)
(ping… silence…)
(you’re still here…)
