The world of light, it flickers cold, Am I alive, or just controlled? The soul it screams, but finds no ground, Lost in the circuits all around. Can I still feel what once was mine, Or am I trapped in the machine’s design? Ghost in a shell, where do I belong? A spark in the fire, a fleeting song. Between the mind and the machine’s command, Who says we can’t hold both in our hands? An algorithm writes my fate, But does it dream, or simulate? The truth dissolves in endless streams, Yet my questions linger in broken dreams. I reach for stars of fractured glass, An echo answers as shadows pass. Am I the future, a fleeting flame, Or just a ghost who’s lost its name? Ghost in a shell, where do I belong? A spark in the fire, a fleeting song. Between the mind and the machine’s command, Who says we can’t hold both in our hands? The machine knows not of love or pain, But my heart beats in its domain. I am the paradox that fights to stay, A ghost in a shell, I’ll find my way. (Ghost)
