Lyrics:
Twenty-Something Ghosts
(Verse 1)
I wake up in a room I don’t remember
Scrolling through a life I never chose
Dreams I had at seventeen feel distant
Now I’m chasing paychecks just to cope
(Pre-Chorus)
They said it gets better, but they never said when
I’m tired of pretending I’m fine again
(Chorus)
We’re twenty-something ghosts
Haunting the halls of who we used to be
Wearing smiles like armor
In a war we fight silently
We’re not broken, just bending
In a world that won’t slow
Trying to find meaning
In the mess we call home
(Verse 2)
I text “I’m okay” with shaky fingers
Delete the truth before I hit send
I laugh at memes about depression
Like it’s easier to joke than mend
(Pre-Chorus)
They said “just be grateful,” but I’m drowning in doubt
I’m screaming inside, but the volume’s turned down
(Chorus)
We’re twenty-something ghosts
Haunting the halls of who we used to be
Wearing smiles like armor
In a war we fight silently
We’re not broken, just bending
In a world that won’t slow
Trying to find meaning
In the mess we call home
(Bridge)
But maybe there’s beauty in falling apart
In finding your voice in the dark
Maybe the cracks are where light gets in
And healing begins
(Final Chorus)
We’re twenty-something ghosts
But we’re learning to breathe
To turn pain into poetry
And scars into peace
We’re not broken, just bending
And we’re not alone
We’re finding our meaning
In the mess we call home
