Story Behind The Song
The song was a result of an actual breakup that wasn't pretty.
Song Description
In the midst of tying to deal with a sour breakup - this song was written as a reminder of the memories that never quite go away. Especially the idea that no matter where you go, you always remember when the two of you were together - therefore creating the idea behind "The Ghost I Am" and the guilt that can be associated with it.

Lyrics
I... am the shadow in your doorway
I... am the creaking in your home
I... am the voice you hear behind the walls
I... am presence you feel when you're alone
I... am the moon that hides behind the clouds
I... am the closet you won't dare to go in
I... am the moans you hear down through the halls
I... am the thought that reminds you of your sin
And you can run from my voice
And you can hide from my cold stare
But you... will never forget the way you stripped my soul
And created the ghost I am
I... am the eyes looking through your window
I... am the chill you feel up your spine
I... am the face you see in the mirror
I... am the truth that you deem simple lies
And you can run from my voice
And you can hide from my cold stare
But you... will never forget the way you stripped my soul
And created the ghost I am
And you can run from my voice
And you can hide from my cold stare
But you... will never forget the way you stripped my soul
And created the ghost I am
