[Intro] (Atmospheric pads, distant siren, wind blowing) Yeah... Walking alone... Just me and the ghost in the mirror. Listen. [Verse 1] Wandering alone in the dawn’s cold silence, Empty streets, no noise, no violence. Like a ghost in the mist, I’m just passing through, See a few people walking, but their souls are blue. Pain in their steps, sorrow in their eyes, Living a life full of scripted lies. But they gotta keep moving, no time to stop, Chasing the wind till they finally drop. Tired eyes looking for an open door, But the system just demands more and more. [Chorus] They do it for the job, they do it for the name, Caught up in a fake, materialistic game. Need a new bag, new shoes, new ice, Paying for a shadow with a heavy price. Kids want the iPhone, PS, X-Box, Flexing on the Gram while the clock just ticks. Gotta have a better car than the neighbor's drive, 'Cause only then they feel like they’re alive. Yeah, only then they feel alive... [Verse 2] So many falling for this optical illusion, Luxury vacations, but it's just confusion. A million pictures posted for the crowd to see, But at home they’re begging for a loan, you see? Can’t even afford the gas for the ride, Hiding the broke reality inside. It’s a strange world we are living in now, No respect, no humanity, I don’t know how. We lost the soul, we just chase the wealth, Trading our peace, destroying our health. [Bridge] (Beat drops lower, melodic violin or piano solo) But I leave this world to the rest of the crowd, I don’t need to scream, I don’t need to be loud. I just walk through the night, through the fading spark, And sometimes... your face appears in the dark. Yeah, I still think of you when the shadows fall. [Chorus] They do it for the job, they do it for the name, Caught up in a fake, materialistic game. Need a new bag, new shoes, new ice, Paying for a shadow with a heavy price. Kids want the iPhone, PS, X-Box, Flexing on the Gram while the clock just ticks. Gotta have a better car than the neighbor's drive, 'Cause only then they feel like they’re alive. [Outro] Watching the flyers blown by the breeze, No anger in my chest, I am at ease. Let the world spin, let them chase the grade, Inside of me, only peace will remain. Just peace... (808 fades out, wind blows) Only peace remains.
