[Verse 1]
You said you’d stay
Carved your name in my doorway
Now there’s dust on your suitcase
And fingerprints in the ashtray
Every room’s just a replay
Every laugh’s like a bad tape
You’re the crack in my rib cage
Where the cold wind crawls in late
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I fight
What I can’t touch, can’t kill?
You’re in my pulse
You’re in my pills
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my skin
Scratching from the inside
Every scar that I live
Spells the shape of your goodbye
I keep screaming you out
But you crawl right back in
Haunting every breath I’m taking
You’re a ghost in my skin
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I run but I loop back
Every step is the same track
Your voice hiding in white cracks
Of the walls I just repatched
Pull the nails from the picture
But the outline still lingers
I can’t wash off your fingers
They’re the ink in my whisper
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I burn
What’s already in my blood?
You’re in the hurt
You’re in the flood
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my skin
Scratching from the inside
Every scar that I live
Spells the shape of your goodbye
I keep screaming you out
But you crawl right back in
Haunting every breath I’m taking
You’re a ghost in my skin
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to sparse, vocal up front]
I rip down the curtains
Still see your silhouette
I black out the windows
Still feel your silhouette
I tear out the pages
You’re the ink that’s left
You’re the echo, echo
In my chest, in my chest (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my skin
Scratching from the inside
Every scar that I live
Spells the shape of your goodbye
I keep screaming you out
But you crawl right back in
Haunting every breath I’m taking
You’re the weight I can’t shed, yeah
You’re the grave that I live in
You’re a ghost in my skin
