[Verse 1]
In the neon rain, a city sighs,
Where the wires hum and the metal lies,
I walk the line between flesh and steel,
A silent heart that they cannot feel.
The ghost in the shell, a whispered name,
Playing a solitary game.
[Build up]
[Chorus]
I am the ghost in the machine,
Caught between the real and the unseen,
A memory that fades to gray,
Chasing shadows, night and day.
I am the ghost, I am the shell,
A story that no one can tell.
[Drop Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
They built a cage of chrome and code,
A heavy path I've always strode,
But in the static, I hear a song,
A piece of me that still belongs.
A phantom touch, a broken vow,
I'm searching for myself somehow.
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
And if I tear this armor down,
Will I find a soul in this hollow town?
Or just a mirror, cold and bright,
Reflecting back the endless night?
[Build up]
[Chorus]
I am the ghost in the machine,
Caught between the real and the unseen,
A memory that fades to gray,
Chasing shadows, night and day.
I am the ghost, I am the shell,
A story that no one can tell.
[Drop Instrumental]
[Outro]
The ghost in the shell...
The ghost in the shell...
Fading out in the digital swell.
