Static & Stardust

[Intro] Log Entry... 734. The date... doesn't matter out here. Can anyone hear this?

[Verse 1] Stardust on the glass, another year just floats right past Got a universe in front of me, but I'm living in my past This metal lung is all I know, the taste of recycled air Used to have a name I think, but now it's buried under there Somewhere in the static, somewhere in the hum Forgot the feeling of the sun, my memories are numb Neon nebulas paint a picture I can't feel Is any of this real?

[Chorus] Static on the line, I'm losing track of all the time Am I a man or just a memory I left behind? A ghost in the machine, a whisper in the solar wind Don't know where the world ends or where I begin. Yeah, static on the line, everything is hazy now Just the engine and the silence, took a final bow A ghost in the machine, floatin' through the pale moonlight Just another lonely satellite tonight.

[Verse 2] Remember grass, the color green, the feeling of the rain? These thoughts are like corrupted files that flicker in my brain My tears don't fall in zero-g, they just float around my head Little crystal balls of every single word I never said Talkin' to the silence, 'cause it's all that talks to me Writin' poetry on screens for only God to see My heartbeat is a kick drum, a lonely, fading beat In this infinite abyss of bittersweet defeat.

[Chorus] Static on the line, I'm losing track of all the time Am I a man or just a memory I left behind? A ghost in the machine, a whisper in the solar wind Don't know where the world ends or where I begin. Yeah, static on the line, everything is hazy now Just the engine and the silence, took a final bow A ghost in the machine, floatin' through the pale moonlight Just another lonely satellite tonight.

[Bridge] Is this my body, or just the suit I'm in? A carbon-based container for the places that I've been? Am I the dreamer or the dream I'm dreaming of? Is there a signal down below, or just a lack thereof?

[Outro] Transmission ending... Signal... lost... Forever...
