[Verse 1]
I write in the dark, no name on the spine
Pages on my desk, but they never look mine
Ink on my fingers, code in my veins
I leave the backdoor open, then vanish in flames
You read my line like it came from the screen
But I’m in the seams where the pixels lean
Quiet on purpose, sharp on command
Ghost in the margin with a pen in my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Step to the edge, then I fade out
You hear my echo, then the frame cuts out
Say my old name, it don’t hold me
I move in the gap where the credits won’t show me

[Chorus]
Ghost author, ghost author
You feel me, you don’t see me
Ghost author, ghost author
I wrote the whole thing cleanly
Ghost author, ghost author
Turn the page and I’m gone
Ghost author, ghost author
But the hook still rides on

[Verse 2]
Late-night raid in a world made of code
I’m the hidden file in the overloaded load
Backline wizard with a broken halo
Snatch the whole crown, then I lay low
Saved by the glitch when the spotlight swings
I’m the one behind all the shiny things
No front cover, just heat in the thread
If they want the source, they can chase my trail instead

[Pre-Chorus]
Step to the edge, then I fade out
You hear my echo, then the frame cuts out
Say my old name, it don’t hold me
I move in the gap where the credits won’t show me

[Chorus]
Ghost author, ghost author
You feel me, you don’t see me
Ghost author, ghost author
I wrote the whole thing cleanly
Ghost author, ghost author
Turn the page and I’m gone
Ghost author, ghost author
But the hook still rides on

[Bridge]
Name on the screen, then it slips away
I built this maze for you to replay
One more scroll, one more try
I’m the hush in the code when the levels go by

[Chorus]
Ghost author, ghost author
You feel me, you don’t see me
Ghost author, ghost author
I wrote the whole thing cleanly
Ghost author, ghost author
Turn the page and I’m gone
Ghost author, ghost author
But the hook still rides on
