bleeding ghosts - Intellectual

[Intro]

(Lonely boy)

(You did good, $lick)

(It's a smash)

[Verse 1]

Okay, let's play a game

Take me off the stage, would you even know my name?

Givin' them the world, all they've given me is pain

If we takin' everything, while you're at it, take the fame (Take it)

Besides the blame and shame, nothing's been the same (Nothing's been the same)

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me, who am I to you these days? (Who?)

Fuck, I don't even know myself no more (Okay)

Wish I could tell them everything I hate that they do

Lucky for you, I hate myself much more

[Chorus]

What am I to you? Who am I to you? Yeah

Tell me, what I am to you? Who am I to you?

Tell me, what am I to you? Yeah, who am I to you?

[Verse 2]

Do you see me as your son? (Your son)

See me as your brother? (Your brother)

See me as your friend?

Do you see me like the others? (Let's go)

Don't even know what they mean now when they say I love you, yeah

With no one there to hold me

Had pills to keep me cozy

Ask anyone that know me, bet I'm their favorite trophy, yeah

Hang me in your favorite spot, invite all your friends

I can't miss a chance of the only love I'll get (Ayy, turn me up)

Therapist saying let's go back to your childhood I'm like, "What the fuck is that?" (Yeah)

I can't find no help without findin' strings attached (Woah)

Fucked up thing about it, I can't bring myself to detach

Hold on to every word, deep down hopin' that they mean that (Let's go)

Stranger in the mirror, lookin' like he want a rematch

Taught me early to dry them tears the second they gave me the Kleenex

How do I tell them don't be like me with millions made off defects?

Tellin' my dad my heart hurt, just to get told it's acid reflux, yeah

Psychologists say I never felt safe

Been fightin' for my life since my mom said I was a mistake (I was a mistake)

Got nerve to ask me why I'm shit-faced, yeah

Only prayer I have is prayin' this shit laced

Been carryin' crosses I didn't ask to carry (Let's go)

Scared when things get good 'cause it always ends badly (Yeah)

Everywhere I go, they always looking at me

Everybody watches, but nobody sees, yeah (Nobody sees)

Validation wrapped in overdose (Woah)

I've always given what I needed most (Woah)

Some days I doubt if even Jesus knows who I am

Have you ever seen a bleeding ghost?

[Outro]

Tell me, what am I to you? (Everybody watches, but nobody sees)

Tell me, who am I to you? (Everybody watches, but nobody sees)

Tell me, what am I to you? Who am I to you?
