"Ghost in the Data" — the AI/algorithm dystopia one

Verse 1 The truth came too late, I read it in the code Every choice I thought was mine was just a road Already paved by something colder than a name I had my chance to fight it, chose comfort instead of the flame Pre-Chorus Now I'm standing in the wreckage that I helped to build Watching everything I loved go quiet, go still Chorus The sadness burns out but the anger stays sharp No one heard me screaming in the dark Welcome to a future where nothing feels real And nobody remembers how to feel Ghost in the data, ghost in the machine A number where a person used to be Verse 2 The last human voice fades into the noise No more dreams, no more choice Just the algorithm's voice where our voices used to be We are the data now — is this all we'll ever be? Bridge (half-whispered, building) I'm not scared of the robots I'm scared of who I let them become I'm not scared of the future I'm scared of what I've done Erased, erased, the world we built — erased Final Chorus (full volume) You'll own nothing, they said, and you'll be happy Sell it all until there's nothing left to hold But I'm still screaming, still a person, still a name I won't let the silence swallow me the same Outro Somebody remember how to feel. Somebody remember me.
