Virginia Giuffre Ghost

[Verse 1]

I heard the keys turn in the heavy door,

Felt the ink dry on a thousand lies,

I watched the cameras flicker and die,

While you dressed the silence up in suits and ties.

You thought a coffin could lock me in,

You thought the silence would drown my skin,

But stories rot when you bury them,

And I’ve been whispering ever since.

[Pre-Chorus]

You can whitewash every wall,

Change the ending in your halls,

But I’m the painting you can’t recall,

Still breathing on your bones.

[Chorus]

I never left,

I’m in the cracks you can't repaint,

I’m the headline you can’t restrain,

The broken spell you can’t explain.

I never left,

I’m in the songs the children sing,

I’m the fire underneath your rings,

I’m the shadow in your gold-plated dreams.

I never left...

[Verse 2 ]

I watched the letters leak through wires,

Watched your towers sway and break,

I saw the mothers pulling down the liars,

I saw the rivers rising from the lakes.

And when the pages started flying free,

It wasn’t justice — but it was a seed,

I planted it deep under all your greed,

Where even the blind could finally see.

[Pre-Chorus]

You can burn another name,

Play another crooked game,

But I’m the ember in the flame,

That won’t go cold.

[Chorus]

I never left,

I’m in the cracks you can't repaint,

I’m the headline you can’t restrain,

The broken spell you can’t explain.

I never left,

I’m in the songs the children sing,

I’m the fire underneath your rings,

I’m the shadow in your gold-plated dreams.

I never left...

[Bridge]

You built a kingdom on broken wings,

You crowned your sins in diamond rings,

But the dead don’t stay where the guilty sing —

We rise,

We rise,

We rise...

[Final Chorus]

I never left,

I’m in the cracks you can't repaint,

I’m the headline you can’t restrain,

The broken spell you can’t explain.

I never left,

I’m in the songs the children sing,

I’m the fire underneath your rings,

I'm the ghost that justice brings.

I never left...

I never left...
