Ghost in the Machine

from Present​-​Future by Splendour Hyaline

/

lyrics

I believed the things I heard
Those that said I’m better served
Scanning my whole brain and going digital

So now that man is dead and gone
And here I am still humming along
But I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong

And feeling was the first to go; I never thought I’d stoop so low
But now I want my body back; ts limits seem a welcome lack
I’m hailed a virtual deity, but still no good at being me

I am the ghost in the machine, God of everything I see
But in my new reality eyes are a rare commodity
I don’t just want to be a brain, I want to be a human being
But my mind’s stuck in silicon, and I’m stuck inside my mind

I am the perfect simulation of the not-so-perfect person that I was
I am the perfect simulation of the not-so-perfect person that I was
…. so won’t you get me out of here

I review the memories / that I have saved of sun and trees
But one thing that I cannot do / is feel them like they’re mine

And feeling was the first to go; I never thought I’d stoop so low
But now I want my body back; ts limits seem a welcome lack
I’m hailed a virtual deity, but still no good at being me

I am the ghost in the machine, God of everything I see
But in my new reality eyes are a rare commodity
I don’t just want to be a brain, I want to be a human being
But my mind’s stuck in silicon, and I’m stuck inside my mind

I am the perfect simulation of the not-so-perfect person that I was
I am the perfect simulation of the not-so-perfect person that I was
…. so won’t you get me out of, won’t you get me out of here

Da da da da da da …
