‘Like a Ghost’ is about James Veck-Gilodi looking back to how much passion he used to have for music and his work. Over time he feels that that passion has been ebbed away by various different happenings in his life.
I, I can't speak
'Cause I've been deep inside this bottle now for weeks
And it's hard to sleep
And all my days feel like they're slipping out of reach
I used to be so filled with fire
Over the years I've seen
You beaten it out of me
Now all I seem to be is tired
'Cause living is killing me
I'm not who I used to be
Lately I've been living like a ghost inside my house
Everything I touch is just crashing down
Now all the words I try to say get stuck inside my mouth
And I can't find a way to punch them out
I used to be so filled with fire
Over the years I've seen
It beaten it out of me
Now all I seem to be is tired
'Cause living is killing me
I'm not who I used to be
It's killing me
Not who I used to be
Used to be so filled with fire
I used to be so filled with fire
Over the years I've seen
It beaten it out of me
Now all I seem to be is tired
'Cause living is killing me
I'm not who I used to be
