Ghosts in my voice

Woke up to silence, but it wasn’t quiet
Echoes in my mind, startin up a riot
They sound like me, but I know they’re not
Like I’m speakin the truth that I already forgot
The mirror shows a face, but it’s kinda blurred
Like I’m half a memory inside a spoken word
Feelin like a stranger in my own skin
Every time I speak, it begins a again

Try to drown it out with the radio
But the statics singin what I already know
They’re not gone, they just play along
Like backup singers in my favourite song

I got a ghost, I guess, in my voice
Whispers every word like I don’t have a choice
It’s hauntin me deep, like every line I’ve ever said
Can’t get it out, can’t get it out of my head
Only a soft melody can get it out
Only a soft melody can help the whispers in my head

Stage lights bright, but I’m feelin dim
Tryna sing it loud just to quiet them
But every lyrics got a shadow behind
Like a verse I left another time
They dance through my vowels, glide through my tone
Sayin things out loud that I don’t wanna know
Even when I’m laughin they’re pullin strings
Playin on chords of the songs I sing

Try to drown it out with the radio
But the statics singin what I already know
They’re not gone, they just play along
Like backup singers in my favourite song

I got a ghost, I guess, in my voice
Whispers every word like I don’t have a choice
It’s hauntin me deep, like every line I’ve ever said
Can’t get it out, can’t get it out of my head
Only a soft melody can get it out
Only a soft melody can help the whispers in my head

Even through tears I laugh and smile as if the music is helping
As I try and run from them I feel them
Catchin up with me even as I run faster
I look back to see them gone as u feel a melody inside my head

Even through tears I laugh and smile as if the music is helping
As I try and run from them I feel them
Catchin up with me even as I run faster
I look back to see them gone as u feel a melody inside my head
And maybe that’s the sound of healing
Or a song I haven’t sung yet
