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
