Ghost in the Glass

[Intro] [clean funk guitar scratches, syncopated bass, steady drum beat] [Verse 1] [male vocals] Static noise and blue light glow Feeling shadows in a digital row I've been scrolling 'til my thumb went numb A million voices but I'm feeling so young and dumb The world is waiting just outside the frame But I'm trapped in a loop of this up-so-game Heartbeat rising, fingers on a screen Searching for a life that I've never seen [Pre-Chorus] [synth pads enter, vocal harmonies] I'm tired of the pixels, tired of the lies I want to see the world through my own eyes [vocal swell] A kaleidoscope of colors, a whole universe I've been trying to hide [Chorus] [full band, driving energy, synth brass stabs] Hey, power down, I'm going offline Back to the skin and the bone I'm leaving the ghost inside the telephone I want to feel the rain, I want to taste the air Find the magic in the here instead of anywhere Let the glass break, let the colors run free Finally meeting the real version of me [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, guitar stabs] No more filters, no more staged-up lies Just the honest morning in my tired eyes I can hear the gravel underneath my feet The rhythm of the city, pulse of the street The battery's dead but I've never felt so wired To the electric truth that I've always desired [Bridge] [half-time feel, acoustic guitar enters] Touch the bark of a tree (feel it) Smell the coffee in the breeze (breathe it) Looking up, not looking down The king is back, I'm reclaiming my crown [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, energetic drum fills] [Chorus] [full band] Hey, power down, I'm going offline Back to the skin and the bone I'm leaving the ghost inside the telephone I want to feel the rain, I want to taste the air Find the magic in the here instead of anywhere Let the glass break, let the colors run free Finally meeting the real version of me [Outro] [vocal ad-libs, music fades] The real version of me No signal, just soul (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha) [final synth chord rings out]
