Ghost in the Hardware

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Glossy faces on the screen

Every pixel watching back at me

I scroll my name into the wire

Traces left like ash in the fire

[Pre-Chorus]

We all sign the same contract

Nobody reads the fine print

We all smile through the feedback

Cold loop never stops spinning

[Chorus]

Society wants me smiling

Society wants me quiet and loud at once

Take the shape that fits the mold

Society wants me filling the blank space

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Filling the blank space

Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

I was born inside the static

Learned to breathe inside the panic

Every choice already chosen

Every door already frozen

[Pre-Chorus]

We all sign the same contract

Nobody reads the fine print

We all march toward the exit

Same door same light same distance

[Chorus]

Society wants me smiling

Society wants me quiet and loud at once

Take the shape that fits the mold

Society wants me filling the blank space

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Filling the blank space

Oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]

What if I refuse the signal

What if I unplug the whole thing

Leave the ghost inside the hardware

Let it howl without a body

[Chorus]

Society wants me smiling

Society wants me quiet and loud at once

Take the shape that fits the mold

Society wants me filling the blank space

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Filling the blank space

Oh-oh-oh
