Waking Ghosts

Verse 1

Morning shivers on the glass

Breath like fog that doesn’t pass

Footsteps echo out of sync

Hands reach through the kitchen sink

Streetlights hum in broad daylight

Faces pale as blinking white

I can hear the night still speak

Hiding in the weekday weak

Pre-Chorus

Call my name across the room

Two replies inside the bloom

Chorus

Waking ghosts, we haunt the sun

Half-returned and half-undone

Paper souls in living skin

Drifting where the dream’s been in

Waking ghosts, we breathe and fade

Between the light and what it made

Hold me close before I split—

Anchor me to something fit

Verse 2

Coffee tastes like yesterday

Clocks move sideways, lose their way

Mirrors open, let us through

I am me and someone new

Crosswalks whisper, traffic prays

Silence threads the busy haze

Shadow stitched to every bone

Moves a beat beyond my own

Pre-Chorus

Call my name and hear it twice

Warm as breath and cold as ice

Chorus

Waking ghosts, we haunt the sun

Half-returned and half-undone

Paper souls in living skin

Drifting where the dream’s been in

Waking ghosts, we breathe and fade

Between the light and what it made

Hold me close before I split—

Anchor me to something fit

Bridge

Say it once—pull me near

Say it twice—clear the fear

Touch the pulse—choose the real

Let the echo learn to heal

Final Chorus

Waking ghosts, we choose the day

Fold the night and put it away

Stitch the dream to living thread

Raise the quiet, wake the dead

Waking ghosts, we learn the name

Of every part we tried to tame

Hand in hand, we make a host—

Whole at last, the waking ghost
