[Intro]
Temple walls are crumbling down
Echoes of my daddy's crown
Lost in smoke and needles now
Spirits dancing, show me how
[Verse 1]
Burning sage in empty rooms
While the world outside consumes
Everything we thought was pure
Dev's sweet lies, they had their lure
Daddy's tracks beneath his sleeve
Made me someone who can't breathe
[Chorus]
Ghost in the machine
Dancing through the scene
Watch it all decay
While the spirits play
Can't escape this heat
Got that temple beat
Haunting me today
As we fade away
[Verse 2]
Climate's rising, just like him
Shooting up that golden sin
Protest screams and protest chants
Mix with daddy's withdrawal dance
Found his stash behind the shrine
Now this karma's yours and mine
[Bridge]
In this heat, we break and bend
Secrets that we can't transcend
F*ck the lies we tell ourselves
Put the truth back on the shelf
[Chorus]
Ghost in the machine
Dancing through the scene
Watch it all decay
While the spirits play
Can't escape this heat
Got that temple beat
Haunting me today
As we fade away
[Outro]
Temple walls are falling down
Time to wear this thorny crown
Let the spirits take me home
Where the truth can't make me roam
