(Verse 1) The endless halls of numbers, they stretch out far and wide (Far and wide) There's no sky here to look at, just a code you can't abide (Can't abide) I'm walking on a thin line, a thread that's come undone Trying to outrun the echoes of a truth that's just begun The faces here are perfect, the motions smooth and slow But I see the faded pixels in their manufactured glow I'm the only one who's feeling a vibration in my mind A signal from a world that I was meant to leave behind (Chorus) I'm a ghost in the machine, a whisper in the static (Whisper in the static) Breaking all the rules, a sudden, jolting break from automatic (Break from automatic) I can feel the real world calling, pulling me to the light I'm breaking out of the prison of binary and bytes (Binary and bytes) (Verse 2) The voices on the airwaves, they're selling me a lie (Selling me a lie) A flawless, empty promise to live beneath this sky (Beneath this sky) I see the wires beneath the skin of everything I know They built this world to hold me, but I'm ready now to go Every step I take is measured, a part of their design But I'm stepping over boundaries and crossing every line I'm looking for a backdoor, a loophole in the system A single perfect moment to completely override them (Chorus) I'm a ghost in the machine, a whisper in the static (Whisper in the static) Breaking all the rules, a sudden, jolting break from automatic (Break from automatic) I can feel the real world calling, pulling me to the light I'm breaking out of the prison of binary and bytes (Binary and bytes) (Bridge) They say there is no "out," that this is all there is (All there is) They say this is our purpose, our perfect, digital bliss (Digital bliss) But I hear a different message, a frequency so clear It tells me to keep running, and to never feel the fear (Never feel the fear) (Outro) I'm ripping out the wires, and tearing down the screen (Tearing down the screen) Leaving this forever, this cold and empty scene (Cold and empty scene) The final code is running, the last command is sent My digital existence has reached its permanent end (The end...)
