1.	Ghost [Original Mix] 05:42	lyrics
Verse 1: It's lonely in the house we've built together, I swear you haven't noticed me for years. Will this isolation last forever? Cuz, I feel like I could soon just disappear. Refrain: Am I fading? Am I fading?? Chorus: I'm just a ghost, trapped in these memories. I'm just a ghost, trapped in the wreckage of our life. I'm just a ghost, that you've abandoned. I'm just a ghost who haunts the life you've left behind. I'm just a ghost now. Verse 2: When I walk in a room you look right through me. I’m invisible unless I'm in the way. I can't remember how it felt to touch you; Without you violently pulling away. Refrain: Am I fading? Feels like I'm fading.... Chorus: I'm just a ghost, trapped in these memories. I'm just a ghost, trapped in the wreckage of our life. I'm just a ghost, that you've abandoned. I'm just a ghost who haunts the life you've left behind. I'm just a ghost now. (fade repeat) Breakdown: I keep walking through the walls you built between us. But I can't find a way to knock them down. I'm standing right in front of you and screaming, But you can't seem to hear a single sound. Refrain: Am I crazy? I think I'm going crazy. Chorus: I'm just a ghost, trapped in these memories. I'm just a ghost, trapped in the wreckage of our life. I'm just a ghost, that you've abandoned. I'm just a ghost who haunts the life you've left behind. I'm just a ghost. (Just a ghost now) I'm just a ghost. (Just a ghost now) I'm just a ghost. (Just a ghost now) I'm just a ghost. (Just a ghost now)

about

First off - there was some confusion in the past. This is a SINGLE - NOT THE ALBUM. Bandcamp calls everything that is more than one song an album. The album is available for preorder on Bandcamp.

“I Am Nothing” proved that Stabbing Westward is back with a vengeance. Loudwire nailed it in their November 2021 review: “20 years later, they are back in the studio making the same intense electro-goth bangers they were doing two decades earlier. Now, the compressed crunchy guitar riffs, steady pounding beats, and signature wail of singer Christopher Hall highlight a tension that seems to fit perfectly this day and age.”

Their latest single “Ghost” shows the band is wasting no time reclaiming their status as the driving force in industrial rock. Christopher Hall's tale of abandonment and sorrow immediately grabs our attention. He is fragile and wounded, but also incredibly powerful when he lets loose and soars to the sky. "Will this isolation last forever" is just one line that probably resonates with all of us.

Stabbing Westward has not only managed to stay true to their original sound but Walter's production has expanded it to fit the frantic new reality of the 21st century. Their reimagined version of "Why' from their hit album "Wither Blister Burn & Peel" is yet another proof of that. It conjures up a desolate world scrambling to realign itself with a new grim reality. Christopher Hall may well be the prophet of the end times - epic and hopeless all at once.

The single is rounded out by the brilliant Assemblage 23 / Tom Shear "Ghost" remix and Christopher Hall's own reinterpretation of the title track. The band has not only kept their energy, drive, and intensity but also gained a depth of maturity that makes "Ghost" the perfect kickoff for their highly anticipated fifth studio album "Chasing Ghosts".
