(Verse 1)
Woke up in the dead of night, a pulse of static in my head
A steady rhythm, cold and light, in the silence of my bed
I traced the walls and checked the floor, beneath the rug and in the vents
That phantom sound, it knocks the door, on my dwindling common sense
It’s a tiny clockwork, ticking, but it doesn't move a hand
A digital ghost, a message leaking from a foreign, unknown land
My ears are ringing, my eyes are wide, a searchlight in the dark
This endless beep, where do you hide? You’ve left your lonely mark.
(Chorus)
Oh, the ghost in the machine, a signal from the deep unseen
A constant, piercing, high-pitched scream that's haunting all my lucid dreams
I unplugged every single wire, from the fridge to the TV
Stoked a cold and burning fire, of maddening anxiety
It's a digital phantom, a ticking time bomb, I'm losing all my sleep
Just a single, endless, endless thrum, a promise I can't keep.
(Verse 2)
The morning light brings no relief, the sound still echoes through the day
A silent plea, a simple grief, that won't just simply fade away
I covered every smoke alarm, unplugged the router from the wall
I thought I’d broken the endless charm, and then I heard it down the hall
It's in the kitchen, near the stove, then by the bathroom’s frosted glass
A tiny, digital narrative, a moment that will never pass
My neighbors think I’ve lost my mind, I see it in their worried eyes
The beeping is all they hear from me, a symphony of lies.
(Chorus)
Oh, the ghost in the machine, a signal from the deep unseen
A constant, piercing, high-pitched scream that's haunting all my lucid dreams
I unplugged every single wire, from the fridge to the TV
Stoked a cold and burning fire, of maddening anxiety
It's a digital phantom, a ticking time bomb, I'm losing all my sleep
Just a single, endless, endless thrum, a promise I can't keep.
(Bridge)
Is it inside my head, you think? A phantom noise I’ve conjured up?
Am I standing on the final brink, of a bitter, broken cup?
This little beep, it’s all I hear, it's the rhythm of my soul's demise
I've let this tiny, creeping fear, take over all my truthful cries
I’ve searched and searched, but found no source, no battery to pull
Just this maddening, quiet force, that's making me a fool.
(Outro)
Beep... beep... beep... a tiny, frantic, little sound
Beep... beep... beep... in this quiet, empty town
Beep... beep... beep... I'll find you, I know I will
Beep... beep... beep... my world is standing still.
