Shy - Ghost Lyrics

I had a dream
They were throwing roses at my feet
I was in the spotlight
Still
But could not be seen
What does that mean
It means that I'm afraid of being me
It means that I've been sitting on the shelf too comfortably
Invisibility's got me thinking
That I'm unique
Telling myself that I'm soaring through the sky
But I'm hanging by both my feet
A thread
Barely hanging by a thread
But if I live like a Ghost
That means I'm already dead
Yeah I'm already dead

I don't know
Why I always play the ghost
Got so many people round me
But I don't want them to notice me
Just pull the curtains closed
Shut out the lights
And walk on home
Please don't follow me
Your eyes will turn blind
When you try to focus me
A Ghost at most
Yeah
I'm a Ghost at most

It's about that time
When I put on my disguise
To cover up the smile
When they tell me pretty lies
It's like I'm living in a dollhouse
Petty type of vibe
And I don't know if I wanna scream
Or if I just wanna die
A fake death
For the fake friends
A pretense
Nobody's showing up
To the funeral it's vacant
Makes sense
Don't want the rain to ruin your threads
No point in coming out
If I'm already dead
Pay respect
To my intent
Forget the mess
Theres nothing left
Now take your steps
Away from me
No nothing less than a couple leagues
And so it seems
They're onto me
Like a light that you can never see
In the dark for eternity
Say your goodbyes to an old, infested broken thing
Look at me
But please just close your eyes
There's a fine line between
What you feel and what you hide
No, no, no, no, no
Notice me but don't open your eyes
I have insecurities
I don't want you to find
Yeah
I don't want you to find
If you look at me
I feel like you have dirt on me
Feeling guilty for no reason
But it has control on me
Notice me but don't open your eyes
I'm just not ready to take off my disguise
And answer Who Am I

I don't know
Why I always play the ghost
Got so many people round me
But I don't want them to notice me
Just pull the curtains closed
Shut out the lights
And walk on home
Please don't follow me
Your eyes will turn blind
When you try to focus me
A Ghost at most
Yeah
I'm a Ghost at most
