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.
