Ghost In The Machine Lyrics

Chorus (x2):

I wonder if they could see

All of these insecurities

That I carry inside of me, oh-oh

There's a ghost in the machine...

Verse 1:

They say sleep is the cousin of death

So my eyes wide open, I daren't even shut 'em rest

'Cause if only for a second, I might fall

And slip into the background of a shadowless white wall - and go missing

They don't listen to a word

That I'm saying, so I'm standing on stage blowing kisses to my girls

I mean, what good does it do painting pictures for the world

When you rarely ever get the recognition you deserve (check it...)

And rarely do we ever see the world reppin'

A man trying to hold his own with a blurred vision

I know reality bites, it's f..cking nerve-wrecking

Still I'm chasing immortality with every word written

Yeah, and you see my notebook's filling up

Building up all of these feelings that I can't get rid of

Spill my guts while they are arguing if it's real enough

I'm just telling y'all about my life and y'all should give it up...

Chorus.

Verse 2:

Similar to hot breezes on the cool side

Opportunities will only appear if the mood's right

I look at the blue sky

While thinking it's time for me to - loosen my grip of this rope and let my

Balloons fly (high)

With a focus nobody's getting close to

Never touch a bottle, I just bottle my emotions

Close 'em up and put 'em on the bottom of the ocean

While I see them dishonour my devotion

Hoping that I won't make it out alive, while I'm just trying to get a grip

So caught up always worrying what they would think of it

Salute me as deserted captain of a sinking ship

Seeing everything I love slipping through my fingertips

And truthfully I have never been this afraid to fall

But can't break it off, my head's spinning, trying to shake it off

Waiting for something that ain't never gon' happen

Or something they ain't letting me go after, I'm singing out...

Chorus.
