Ghost Frequency - Borrowed Skin

[Verse 1]
I dress my truth in colors I don’t even wear,
I practice being “normal” like a daily prayer.
I laugh at the right time, keep my voice under control,
While my real self waits quiet in a locked-up hole.

[Chorus]
I’m a stranger in my body when I’m out in the light,
I edit every sentence just to make it feel right.
I hide my edges down, make my fire look small,
’Cause if you see the real me… you might leave it to fall.

[— MELODY ONLY / NO VOCALS —]

[Verse 2]
I mirror what you like, then I call it my own style,
But it cracks in the silence after every forced smile.
I keep my name in my mouth like it’s made out of glass,
Afraid that if I say it, the whole mask won’t last.

[Chorus]
I’m a stranger in my body when I’m out in the light,
I edit every sentence just to make it feel right.
I hide my edges down, make my fire look small,
’Cause if you see the real me… you might leave it to fall.

[— BREAK / MELODY SPACE —]

[Outro] (whisper)
If I stop pretending… will you stay for the me,
Or only for the version that’s easy to see?
