Lyrics
Verse 1
Chrome
Shiny and cold
Silicon chips inside a leather holster
The dusty trail is made of fiber optic cable
Rust
It eats the joints
Creaking metal knees that never feel the desert heat
I ride a horse that drinks from a wall socket
Chorus
He is a hollow man
Walking through a digital canyon
He is a hollow man
Counting electric sheep in the sand
The ghost in the machine
Wears a black hat
Post-Chorus
Lord
Lord
Lord
Verse 2
I died
Back in ninety-nine
They uploaded my grit to a server rack
The motherboard remembers how I used to bleed
Cold
Binary code
Zeros and ones where the whiskey used to burn
No more sweat
No more breath
Just a loop of a whistle in the wind
Chorus
He is a hollow man
Walking through a digital canyon
He is a hollow man
Counting electric sheep in the sand
The ghost in the machine
Wears a black hat
Post-Chorus
Lord
Lord
Lord
Bridge
I see the sunset in low resolution
I feel the pixels cracking under my boots
My heart is a ticking clock
My soul is a line of text
Delete me
Reboot me
Format the memory of who I was
Chorus
He is a hollow man
Walking through a digital canyon
He is a hollow man
Counting electric sheep in the sand
The ghost in the machine
Wears a black hat
Outro
Processing
Shutting down
The long dark sleep of the hard drive
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
