Ghost In The Machine Lyrics - Singles - Jaewon

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.
