GHOST IN THE MACHINE

There’s someone in my head but it’s not me
Traded intuition for certainty
Am I just a combination
Of chemicals mixed in a bowl?
I wish I knew how it felt

To be fearless like the kid that I used to be
But I traded all my innocence for relief
Tell me I’m more than just the
Sum of my parts, lost in the dark
I just want to know myself

But it feels like there’s a ghost in the machine
Why do I always let you get the best of me?
Can never seem to make you proud
I really wish that I knew how
It feels to be me
There’s a ghost in the machine
There’s a ghost in the machine

There’s someone in my head but it’s not me
Now I only dream of electric sheep
Tell me I’m more than just a
Tangled mess of circuitry
I just want to know myself

But it feels like there’s a ghost in the machine
Why do I always let you get the best of me?
Can never seem to make you proud
I really wish that I knew how
It feels to be me
There’s a ghost in the machine
There’s a ghost in the machine

Why does it always feel
Like someone’s under my skin
And I can’t integrate
Let you in

Do I need some space
From what I can’t erase
Or just some time away
From myself?

‘Cause it feels like there’s a ghost in the machine
Why do I always let you get the best of me?
Can never seem to make you proud
I really wish that I knew how
It feels to be me
There’s a ghost in the machine
There’s a ghost in the machine
