Phantom in the Machine

Verse 1

I plug my mind into the wire tonight

Searching for but a trace of something real

This body shivers under the city lights

Trying to find a heart that’s still alive

Verse 2

Code is running inside my veins

Frozen like a winter in my brain

Nothing remains within this vacant frame

I've lost the key to my own name

I sink

Deep

Into the blue

Chorus

Waking to find my soul is gone

Wondering where the daylight went

Phantom in the machine

Searching for who I should have been

Looking for a flame within

I want to feel

I want to feel

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

System failure

Oh oh oh

Digital heart

Verse 3

Battery fading

Running down to ten

Cycles restart

I drift through them again

Wondering if I was human once

Time is but a long lost forgotten friend

Verse 4

Screens burn light across my weary eyes

Everything I touch feels like a lie

Beneath these endless synthetic skies

Watching my fading spirit slowly die

Alone

Cold

Unconnected

Chorus

Waking to find my soul is gone

Wondering where the daylight went

Phantom in the machine

Searching for who I should have been

Looking for a flame within

I want to feel

I want to feel

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

System failure

Oh oh oh

Digital heart

Bridge

I am losing my grip

I am starting to slip

I am losing my grip

My heart is a motor

My soul is a motor

My life is a motor

Chorus

Waking to find my soul is gone

Wondering where the daylight went

Phantom in the machine

Searching for who I should have been

Looking for a flame within

I want to feel

I want to feel

Post-Chorus

Losing it all

Losing it all

Away we go

Away we go
