Your voice dissolves in the hum of the city
A broken signal–yeh-yeh–on my late-night screen
We pixelate where the streetlights hit us
They call it noise, but I know it's a
Frequency
We crash like data in a corrupted love song
Too sharp, too loud, but the distortion's sweet
Why fix a glitch when it's all we've got?
Just let it loop, let it repeat
You're buffering my veins
A 404 heart rebooted again
If love's just electric decay
Then let us short-circuit the pain–
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Yeh-yeh, lost signal)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
No alt to escape this scene
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Yeh-yeh, system failure)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
You rewind every I miss you like a damaged cassette
Static kisses–yeh-yeh–where your lips skip
I'm a low-fi dream in your high-speed world
But you press play and let the track slip
We're out of sync but the feedback's
Golden
Too much, too late, but we stream it live
Why fear the crash when the blue screen holds us?
Just let it load, let it survive
You're buffering my veins
A 404 heart rebooted again
If love's just electric decay
Then let us short-circuit the pain–
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Are you receiving me?)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(No signal, no clean escape)
No alt to escape this scene
(Reset, reload, repeat)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Yeh-yeh, corrupted file)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(I'm just a ghost)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
Error: Love not found
Yet we compile in the lost-and-found–yeh-yeh–
Just junk code, but we overwrite
Your hard drive hums when my hands are tied
I'm just a ghost in your machine
I'm just a ghost in your machine
No alt to escape this scene
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Let me crash, let me crash again)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Just a ghost, just a glitch)
I'm just a ghost in your machine
(Yeh-yeh–signal lost)
