Ghost of You by Obituary Pending
Ghost of You
Intro
Shadows crawl across my walls,
Whispers echo down empty halls.
I feel your touch in the midnight air,
A ghost of you is always there.
Verse 1
I walk alone through streets of fire,
Haunted by our funeral pyre.
Memories bite, jagged and cold,
Stories left unfinished, never told.
Your laugh still burns inside my head,
A shadow kissing my bed.
I scream your name to empty skies,
But only silence answers my cries.
Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape, I can’t let go,
Your ghost lingers where I roam.
Every heartbeat calls your name,
Every night ignites the flame.
Chorus
I’m chasing the ghost of you,
Through the ruins of all we knew.
Every shadow, every pain,
Brings me back to you again.
I can’t bury, I can’t forgive,
You are the reason I can’t live.
Haunted by what we lost too soon—
I’m a prisoner of the ghost of you.
Verse 2
Mirrors lie and show your face,
Reflections trapped in a broken place.
Your words still bleed from rusted steel,
Every wound refuses to heal.
I feel your breath in the pouring rain,
I taste your sorrow, I taste the pain.
The night devours the fading light,
But your ghost keeps me up all night.
Pre-Chorus 2
I reach for air, but touch the void,
A phantom presence I can’t avoid.
Every heartbeat calls your name,
Every moment fuels the flame.
Chorus
I’m chasing the ghost of you,
Through the ruins of all we knew.
Every shadow, every pain,
Brings me back to you again.
I can’t bury, I can’t forgive,
You are the reason I can’t live.
Haunted by what we lost too soon—
I’m a prisoner of the ghost of you.
Bridge (slow → heavy, clean vocals into growls)
I see your face in every fire,
Your touch still burns, a funeral pyre.
I scream at walls, I claw at sky,
I taste your absence, I cannot die.
(Growls)
Every step drags me deeper down,
A corpse afloat in memory’s drown.
Your ghost is chains around my soul,
Never leaving, never whole.
[Breakdown]
Haunt me, chase me, don’t let go,
The ghost of you is all I know.
Twist the knife, light the flame,
Nothing is left but your name.
I fall, I break, I bleed, I scream—
Drowning forever in the dream.
Verse 3
Time dissolves, the world decays,
I walk alone through endless days.
Your shadow dances in the dark,
I reach for air, you leave your mark.
The stars burn out, the moon will fall,
But I will hear your phantom call.
I am broken, I am torn,
Haunted by love that can’t be mourned.
Pre-Chorus 3
Every heartbeat drags me back,
Every memory cracks the track.
I can’t escape, I can’t forget,
Your ghost remains my endless debt.
Chorus (Final)
I’m chasing the ghost of you,
Through the ruins of all we knew.
Every shadow, every pain,
Brings me back to you again.
I can’t bury, I can’t forgive,
You are the reason I can’t live.
Haunted by what we lost too soon—
I’m a prisoner of the ghost of you.
Outro
I hear you whisper in the night,
I see your eyes in dying light.
The world moves on, but I’m stuck in view,
Forever bound to the ghost of you…
