This is Ghost Penn’s most emotional album to date — a record carved out of grief, regret, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Each track is a confession and a ghost story, a look at the weight we all drag behind us: the death of loved ones, the scars of PTSD, the silence of isolation, the sting of abandonment, and the heartbreak of love gone wrong. These songs don’t just tell stories — they hold space for the listener to see themselves inside the struggle. The Weight We Carry is proof that even in pain, there’s beauty, and even in endings, there’s light. This isn’t just an album — it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or undone.

Ghost Penn: The Weight We Carry

“This one is for anyone sitting in silence, carrying more than they should — or more than they can bear. You don’t have to fight it by yourself — talk to someone. I’ve survived losing friends and strangers who let the dark thoughts win. I’ve seen the fallout firsthand, and it’s an image I wish I didn’t have burned into my mind. I’ve also stood beside those left behind, and the suffering of family and friends is unbearable. Most problems can be fixed, even when the road to recovery feels impossible. It is not impassable. Your story deserves to be heard. Your pain deserves a place to breathe. If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, please dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The world is better with you here.”

Talk to Me

“Some places hold more than traffic — they hold memories, moments, and ghosts. This one is about the weight of what lingers when you cross the same bridge but life has already changed 🙏🏼”

Brooks Bridge

“Life after war gets messy — situations normal, all messed up. You come back changed, trying to catch yourself in the chaos, not knowing if the ones you love will still recognize you. This one is about admitting the damage, giving them the choice to walk away… but hoping they’ll stay. Even in the wreckage, there’s still breath, still love 🙏🏼”

SNAFU

“3am — when the room is quiet but your head is loud. PTSD rewinds the reel until it feels like now. This is survival music, for anyone haunted by the hours that don’t let you sleep. You’re not alone. We exist on the same plane and it can be a warzone 🙏🏼”

It’s 3am (PTSD)

“I don’t run in packs — I keep my distance. Isolation is a killer, burning us down to embers turning black. Strong on the surface, secretly dying just to have a talk. This is for anyone who’s felt unseen, unheard, unloved… a lone wolf carrying scars but still surviving. You’re stronger than you think — and you’re not as alone as you feel. Your pack… We’re out here too, carrying the same struggles 🙏🏼”

isolation.

“This one is about love that refuses to fade — whether through silence, distance, or death. It’s for anyone holding on to someone they’ve lost, in any way. Real love waits beyond time, beyond words, beyond endings. However you hear it, let it be yours 🙏🏼”
