The screen is glowing in the corner of the room Another day dissolved in blue and white I traded morning light for something luminous And now I can't remember what the sun felt like We built a world of glass and electricity We taught the children how to swipe and scroll And somewhere in the hum of all that progress We quietly misplaced our souls And the signal's getting stronger every hour And the silence feels like something we forgot And I'm starting to believe the ghost inside the tower Is the only thing we've got We are ghosts in the machine We are echoes in the wire We are faces on a screen Burning out like fading fire Hey! Can you hear us through the noise? All in all, we're just ghosts inside the machine They promised us connection, gave us cages They promised us a voice, gave us a feed They sold us all a million different faces And then they sold us everything we need And every child that ever learned to wonder Got a notification, not a hand And every truth got buried under thunder Of a billion voices shouting in the sand And the signal's getting stronger every hour And the silence feels like something we forgot And I'm starting to believe the ghost inside the tower Is the only thing we've got We are ghosts in the machine We are echoes in the wire We are faces on a screen Burning out like fading fire Hey! Can you hear us through the noise? All in all, we're just ghosts inside the machine "Look at me." "Like me." "Follow me." "Don't disconnect." "Don't look away." "Don't feel." "Stay online. Stay online. Stay online." We are ghosts in the machine We are echoes in the wire We are faces on a screen Burning out like fading fire Hey! Can you hear us through the noise? All in all, we're just ghosts inside the machine All in all, we're just signals in the void All in all, we're just ghosts inside the machine "All in all... all in all... all in all..." © Oorigin.
