I remember the hunger I remember the cold
The stories of glory that I haven't told
I traded the heart for a pocket of stone
The higher I get the more I'm alone
I'm wearing the suit and I'm driving the car
But I can't even tell you just who you are
I buried the boy in the backyard of gold
A piece of the spirit that already sold
The mirror is lying the reflection is new
I'm looking for me but I'm finding you
The price of the winning is losing the soul
I'm finally breaking under control
I'm just the ghost of who I used to be
A stranger is living inside of me
I won the war but I lost the man
Lost the man
The success is a poison the struggle was real
I'm forgetting the way that I used to feel
I'm holding the world in the palm of my hand
Palm of my hand
You wanted the crown and you wanted the light
But you didn't see what was coming in the night
You've got the applause and you've got the fame
But nobody's left who remembers your name
I'm the voice in the static the echo of truth
The ghost of the boy and the ghost of your youth
Where did he go
Where did he go
The one that I used
To actually know
He's gone
I'm just the ghost of who I used to be
A stranger is living inside of me
I won the war but I lost the man
Lost the man
The success is a poison the struggle was real
I'm forgetting the way that I used to feel
I'm holding the world in the palm of my hand
Palm of my hand
Who am I
