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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
