With limbs made of metal
Working loom and pedal
Puppeteering all my actions by it's strings

Creator of commotion
Guiding all emotion
It is no longer calling reason it's king

But I'm fine
Cause ignorance is bliss
I doubt you'll savor this

Well apathy is an art

I am the ghost in the machine

Overriding all the rational
And you have come to know my name


This circus of circuitry
Has gotten the best of me
Instinctual behavior at the helm

So swallow both lock and key
No longer considered free
Disconnect and join your new kingship realm

But I'm fine
Cause ignorance is bliss
I doubt you'll savor this

I'll tear this machine apart

I am the ghost in the machine

Overriding all the rational
And you have come to know my name


But if this ghost is in this machine
Then why do I feel the warmth?
Of this hand that's outstretched towards me

Whispering "you're in control."

I am the ghost in the machine

And you have come to know
(My name, my name)
And you know how-

Oh the words that kept you begging for more
Than what you bargained for


I am the ghost in the machine
Overriding all the rational
And you have come to know my name

Head in hands, you know who's really to blame
