šµ āNOT YOUR GHOSTā ā Stray Kidsāstyle Original Pop Song
[Intro ā whispered / glitchy]
Cut the cordĀ
Static in my headĀ
Reboot, reloadĀ
Iām not your shadow anymoreĀ
[Verse 1 ā melodic rap]
You built a world where I had to stay quietĀ
Tiptoe steps just to keep down the riotĀ
Every time you broke, I patched you upĀ
But who was there when Iād had enoughĀ
(Yeah, nobody)
I carried storms that were never mineĀ
Lost my voice trying to read your mindĀ
But Iām done being the one who bendsĀ
This chapterās got a different endĀ
[PreāChorus ā rising tension]
I used to drown in your echoĀ
Now Iām cutting through the noiseĀ
You can keep your old tornadoĀ
Iām reclaiming my own voiceĀ
[Chorus ā explosive, anthemic]
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your cure, not your lifeboatĀ
Iām burning down the role you wroteĀ
Watch me rise, watch me take controlĀ
Iām choosing meĀ
Finally breathing, finally freeĀ
Your storms donāt live inside of meĀ
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your ghost anymoreĀ
[Verse 2 ā rap / aggressive rhythm]
You say āloveā but it feels like a warningĀ
Pulled me in close just to steal my morningĀ
I gave you space, you took the whole skyĀ
But Iām done shrinking so you feel fineĀ
(No more)
I see the cracks in the walls you builtĀ
But your healingās not my unpaid guiltĀ
Iām walking out, no turning backĀ
My heartās rebooting after the crashĀ
[PreāChorus ā layered vocals]
I used to drown in your echoĀ
Now Iām cutting through the noiseĀ
You can keep your old tornadoĀ
Iām reclaiming my own voiceĀ
[Chorus ā full power]
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your cure, not your lifeboatĀ
Iām burning down the role you wroteĀ
Watch me rise, watch me take controlĀ
Iām choosing meĀ
Finally breathing, finally freeĀ
Your storms donāt live inside of meĀ
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your ghost anymoreĀ
[Bridge ā emotional, cinematic]
Maybe youāre hurtingĀ
Maybe you never learned the wordsĀ
But I canāt keep bleedingĀ
Just to soothe your every hurtĀ
Iām walking out of the mazeĀ
With my own heartbeat as the guideĀ
If loving you means losing meĀ
Then I choose my sideĀ
[Breakdown ā chant / SKZ energy]
Cut the tiesĀ
Cut the noiseĀ
Cut the weightĀ
Find my voiceĀ
Iām not yoursĀ
Never wasĀ
Watch me riseĀ
Just becauseāĀ
[Final Chorus ā extended]
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your cure, not your lifeboatĀ
Iām burning down the role you wroteĀ
Watch me rise, watch me take controlĀ
Iām choosing meĀ
Finally breathing, finally freeĀ
Your storms donāt live inside of meĀ
Iām not your ghostĀ
Not your ghost anymoreĀ
(Not anymore, not anymore)Ā
[Outro ā soft, resolved]
Iām not your ghostĀ
Iām finally home in my own soulĀ
