Ghosts in The Hallways

(Verse 1) I walk in silence, the screams echo loud, Bearing the brunt, lost in the crowd. Each room holds whispers of a dream that's deferred, A heart that keeps breaking without saying a word. Chorus: I'm just the ghost in your hallways, Fading away, I feel like a phantom in play. Invisible chains hold me down where I lay, Just another shadow, fading into gray. (Verse 2) Kids in their quarrels, their laughter feels far, Under this roof, I nurse every scar. The mirror reflects a stranger's tired eyes — A soul that’s just searching for her slice of the skies. Chorus: I'm just the ghost in your hallways, Fading away, I feel like a phantom in play. Invisible chains hold me down where I lay, Just another shadow, fading into gray. ......... (Bridge) Can't you see I'm crumbling under? Every failing thunder's stealing my wonder. I wish for hands to lift this weight so tender, Long for a voice to say “you’re not just a pretender.” (Verse 3) This house never silent yet I’m drowning alone, Beneath all the burdens that are never my own. From dawn's early light till the fall of the night, I'm losing myself, giving up the fight. I'm just the ghost in your hallways, Fading away, I feel like a phantom in play. Invisible chains hold me down where I lay, Just another shadow, fading into gray. outro: Still, I'm the ghost in your hallways, Wishing away, these invisible chains every day. Maybe someday there'll be someone to stay, To see through my shadows and love me anyway. and love me anyway.
