MUSIC FOR SALE

VERSE A

I walk through the crowd like a rumour of rain,
No footprints, no echoes, just a face without a name.
Their laughter spills across me like I’m not even there,
Just a flicker in a doorway, a shadow in the glare.

VERSE B

She turns to her friends and the whole room blooms,
But I’m stuck in the quiet with my unlit moons.
Practising small talk in a whisper to the wall,
But the words fall flat, nobody hears them fall.

PRE-CHORUS

And I tell myself it’s nothing,
But the truth keeps breaking through—
The world keeps painting colours
I can’t break into.

CHORUS

I’m a ghost in the daylight,
A face the world looks through.
Just a passenger of heartbeats—
Never someone they turn to.
I’m a ghost in the daylight,
Trying hard just to exist…
But the moment I reach out,
My hand slips through the mist.

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE C

Some nights I’m rehearsing being brave in the dark,
Redrawing the outlines, trying to recover the spark.
But the mirror stares back with a tired, glassy eye—
Asking, “How long will you watch your own life go by?”

VERSE D

There’s a version of me somewhere,
Who speaks before he shakes,
Who doesn’t break to pieces
When a single silence aches.
But he lingers in the distance,
Always one breath out of time…
A silhouette of confidence
That never quite is mine.

SECTION E

Maybe I’m ordinary—
Maybe that’s my quiet crime.
Just a heartbeat out of rhythm
With the rest of humankind.
But I’m still here, still learning
What it means to be seen…
Even shadows dream of sunlight
Beyond the in-between.

CHORUS

I’m a ghost in the daylight,
But I’m calling out tonight—
If the world won’t turn to face me,
I’ll learn to build my own light.
I’m a ghost in the daylight,
But I’m fighting to be real…
And maybe someone, someday,
Will recognise what I feel.

REPRISE

I’m a ghost in the daylight…
Still searching for a sign.

OUTRO / SOFT ENDING

But even ghosts can change their story
Even if it's mine.
