Il testo della Ghost in the machine

Chorus (x2):
I wonder if they could see //
All of these insecurities //
That i carry inside of me, oh-oh //
There's a ghost in the machine... //

Verse 1:
They say sleep is the cousin of death //
So my eyes wide open, i daren't even shut 'em rest //
'cause if only for a second, i might fall //
And slip into the background of a shadowless white wall - and go missing //

They don't listen to a word //
That i'm saying, so i'm standing on stage blowing kisses to my girls //
I mean, what good does it do painting pictures for the world //
When you rarely ever get the recognition you deserve // (check it...)

And rarely do we ever see the world reppin' //
A man trying to hold his own with a blurred vision //
I know reality bites, it's fucking nerve-wrecking //
Still i'm chasing immortality with every word written //

Yeah, and you see my notebook's filling up //
Building up all of these feelings that i can't get rid of //
Spill my guts while they are arguing if it's real enough //
I'm just telling y'all about my life and y'all should give it up... //

Chorus.

Verse 2:
Similar to hot breezes on the cool side //
Opportunities will only appear if the mood's right //
I look at the blue sky //
While thinking it's time for me to - loosen my grip of this rope and let my balloons fly // (high)

With a focus nobody's getting close to //
Never touch a bottle, i just bottle my emotions //
Close 'em up and put 'em on the bottom of the ocean //
While i see them dishonour my devotion //

Hoping that i won't make it out alive, while i'm just trying to get a grip //
So caught up always worrying what they would think of it //
Salute me as deserted captain of a sinking ship //
Seeing everything i love slipping through my fingertips //

And truthfully i have never been this afraid to fall //
But can't break it off, my head's spinning, trying to shake it off //
Waiting for something that ain't never gon' happen //
Or something they ain't letting me go after, i'm singing out... //

Chorus.
