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
