Ghost in the Machine

[Verse 1]

Standin' right outside The Echo

When we were still just cuttin' teeth

Turnin' madness into waveforms

Searchin' cords for what's beneath

All these existential freshmen

Tryin' to keep our noses clean

Scared to show our faith in

The ghost in the machine

[Verse 2]

Standin' right outside The Echo

We were workin' for the door

Assumin' all our dreams were brighter than

The bands who played before

But you could see it in their hunger

You could hear it in their screams

They too were just tryin' to make contact

With the ghost in the machine

[Verse 3]

Through the build-ups and the breakdowns

Through the boom and through the crash

Buildin' stockpiles of excuses

On how to trade it in for cash

All the poisonous motel rooms

The lobby call at 6:15

One million miles upon a highway

For a ghost in the machine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

All the doubts and hesitations

I built up in my early years

Are under reconsideration

Through the music of the spheres

Which I cannot deny any longer

When every night, I reconvene

With these vibrations givin' proof of

The ghost in the machine

The ghost in the machine

The ghost in the machine

The ghost in the machine
