“This is the chapter where my light shows through the dark. It’s not forced, it’s not borrowed — it’s my own glow, revealed after everything I’ve survived. I hope it inspires you, every track written from the heart to speak to you like a daily mantra. Thanks for the listens, likes, and support. It keeps me going through the afterlife, still caring for you all 👻”

Ghost Penn: Vol. II – Luminescence

Wrong Timeline

Revolution

“This one is for the moments when you wish somebody would come save you. Sometimes that somebody is you. Being the hero doesn’t mean being perfect — it means standing up, even shaky, and choosing good when it’s hard. Be the hero you’ve been waiting for 👻”

Top 3 Ways to Be the Hero:
	1.	Stand up — even when fear says sit down.
	2.	Choose good — when anger begs for revenge.
	3.	Keep going — because someone else needs your light.

Be the Hero

Returned to Sender

“This song is written from the perspective of someone fading — from chronically ill to unresponsive — a final letter in the words they can’t speak. It’s not a goodbye note by choice, and it’s not a suicide note, though it may sound like one. If you’ve ever felt like your voice was lost, I hope this reminds you that your story still matters. You are not alone. If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out — dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Your life is worth holding on to 👻”

One Last Letter

“This song is to all the kids out there. It’s the exact conversation I shared with my son at the end of the pier one night — nearly word for word. Dedicated to him, and to every young soul out there searching for direction. Be the fire no storm can drown out. Be the one light the lost will seek. You already have the vision. Now walk in it 👻”

Son (One Light)

“I hope to bring some encouragement and light to your world when it gets dark. You’re alive, you’re valuable, you matter, and you don’t have to please anyone. I write mantras that pull me through. This is one of them. Stay hopeful 👻”

Hopeful

“They say she still walks the water’s edge in her wedding dress, waiting for a groom who never came. Some nights the fog carries her song, soft and low, over the bayou. If you follow the voice, you may not come back 👻”

Concept by Jimmy Philyaw — a long-time friend, bandmate, and our rock on bass. A true local of Boggy Boy, he brought this story to life. Jimmy, cool story bro… tell it again!”

The Bride of Boggy Bayou

“This song is for the ones who feel invisible. For the quiet, the overlooked, the ones carrying scars no one asks about. Every mask eventually slips, but you don’t have to hide here. I see you — every flaw, every fire, every truth. And if no one else ever does, I do 👻”

I See You

“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

“This one’s about wanting more than a moment — craving connection that lasts past the night. I want you more than just tonight, more than a spark, more than a fire that fades. Real love isn’t borrowed time, it’s the kind of flame that keeps burning when the lights come back on 👻”

I Want You More Than Just Tonight

Songwriter’s statement:
Emotional. Honest. Unforgettable.
I write for the ones who feel too much
and say too little.

Every lyric is a pulse from the past—
a moment survived,
a truth unearthed,
a voice rising from the quiet.

My sound lives between the lines:
emo-alt, post-hardcore, spoken word, ambient rap,
acoustic soul stitched to deep 808s.
Some tracks bleed confession.
Others haunt like ghost stories you never told.

Whether I sign my name
or leave it as Ghost Penn,
these songs were never meant for charts—
they’re for the hearts still beating
under the weight of life, love, and trauma.

If you’ve ever wandered through silence,
searched for your reflection in a song,
or needed to know you’re not the only one—

you’ve already heard me.
At least, that’s what I hope for when I write.

This is the echo chamber.
The house of pain.
The home of Ghost.
Where humility and confidence live in the same breath.
