Lyrics

Ghost in the Machine,from a grin in the dark

[Verse 1]

Mask off

But the face stayed still

I don't hunt luck, I hunt will

Dead calm when the pressure fill

Slow blink

Look 'em down till they break

I don't trade, I just take

Real power don't need a wake

Heavy boots

Step light on the glass

I'm the future looking at your past

Watching all your vanity pass

I don’t bark

I just sharpen the edge

Building mansions on the ledge

Every word is a blood-soaked pledge

[Pre-Chorus]

You feel that drop in the heat?

That’s the air leaving the room

You see that ghost in the glass?

That’s the fate that’s calling you soon (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m the ghost in the machine

The one that you felt but never seen

I move steady through the gears

Turn your nightmares into my routine

Ghost in the machine (in the machine)

Keep the slate and the conscience clean

By the time you find the flaw

I’ve already dismantled the scene

[Verse 2]

High voltage

Running through the floorboards

I don't need no gold or the awards

I just need the keys to the doors

One breath

Right before the lights pop

I’m the silence when the screams stop

Top floor, but I started at the drop (hey!)

I don’t hide

I just blend with the gray

I’m the hunter and the debt and the day

Every debt has a price you gotta pay

I’m the glitch

In the perfect little life

I’m the edge of the serrated knife

Ending all the struggle and the strife

[Pre-Chorus]

You feel that hum in your teeth?

That’s the signal getting through

You taste that ash on your lips?

That’s the bridge I burned behind you

[Chorus]

I’m the ghost in the machine

The one that you felt but never seen

I move steady through the gears

Turn your nightmares into my routine

Ghost in the machine (in the machine)

Keep the slate and the conscience clean

By the time you find the flaw

I’ve already dismantled the scene

[Bridge]

Look up

If you ever stayed quiet while they laughed in your face

Look up

If you’re the invisible force they can never replace (yeah)

I don’t need the crown or the throne

I’m the king of the dark and the unknown

System failure, manual override

Nowhere left for the fake ones to hide

Watch the walls turn to dust and the pride

I’m the surge that you can’t get beside

[Verse 3]

Deep code

Writing scripts in the rain

I’m the logic and the focus and the pain

Nothing left but the iron in the vein

Click, snap

That’s the sound of the trap

I’m the thunder after every lightning clap

Putting every hater back on the map

I’m the end

And the start of the new

I’m the one they should’ve listened to

Now the sky’s turning static and blue

[Chorus]

I’m the ghost in the machine

The one that you felt but never seen

I move steady through the gears

Turn your nightmares into my routine

Ghost in the machine (in the machine)

Keep the slate and the conscience clean

By the time you find the flaw

I’ve already dismantled the scene

[Outro]

System down.

(Shh)

Can you hear that?

That’s the sound of me winning.

Quiet.

So quiet.

Ghost in the machine.

I'm gone before the screen flickers.

(Yeah)
