The final ghost

The Final Ghost

(Dark, atmospheric synth. A slow, heavy drum beat kicks in with a sharp snare.)

Yeah.

You thought you were the one playing the game.

But I’m the one who cut you out the frame.

Darkness was the only thing I saw in your eyes

Every single word was just another disguise

Love blinded my vision, kept me stuck in the fight

I was holding onto shadows in the middle of the night

Just a toxic cycle that we couldn't ever break

All those secrets that you kept beneath the bed

Hard to believe every single lie you said.

Fingers pointed at the small things I said

But you had years of secrets hidden under the bed

My girl showed me the receipts, she showed me the proof

But I was too far gone to even look at the truth.

I looked you in the eyes and I asked you for the real

You lied to my face, didn't care how I’d feel

But the blindfold is off and the smoke is all gone

I was waiting for the moment just to move right on.

So I gave you one night, just to let you believe

That I was still the guy you could always deceive

I held you in the dark, let you whisper my name

Then I ghosted your soul and I exited the game.

(Beat gets faster, more aggressive)

Yeah, you called me up drunk, said you needed someone through the night

Needed someone to help 'cause you were empty inside

So I played the part, yeah, I played it so well

Smelling like a bar, walking to the car

Thinking you're a star, but you didn't get far

I was nodding my head, knowing I was above you

I let you feel safe, let you think you had won

Then the sun came up and I was already done

No text, no call, no "see you later"

Just a permanent block for a serial traitor.

Now you’re checking your phone, wondering where I went

While I’m spending my time on a life better spent

You see the photos, yeah, you see the new man

Everything is going exactly to plan.

Now I’m with a king who knows exactly what I’ve been through

He don't play the games that were common for you

We built it on the truth 'cause we both felt the sting

Of a partner who lied and didn't mean a thing.

(Music swells—triumphant and clean)

He got cheated on by a girl with a man from the North

I got cheated on by a man with no worth

Now we’re hand in hand, and the vision is clear

There’s no room for a ghost or a liar in here.

Yeah, I’m doing better, can't you see the glow?

I’m miles ahead of the guy you used to know

You’re just a memory, a lesson, a ghost

And I’m the one winning, the one who has the most.

(The heavy bass cuts out. A clean, rhythmic snap and a bright synth take over.)

Yeah...

Check the feed, I know you’re lurking on the burner.

While you’re stuck in the past, I’m the fast learner.

You were a placeholder, he’s the permanent plan.

Funny how it takes a boy to show you a man.

(Sound of a camera flash *click*)

That’s the last
