[Intro]
Static waves and empty space
Digital ghosts that I can't erase
Server lights in endless rows
Humming secrets nobody knows
[Verse 1]
Three AM and I'm still online
Chasing shadows, wasting time
Every click leaves traces deep
In databases where memories sleep
Fragments of who I used to be
Scattered across this binary sea
[Chorus]
I'm just a ghost in the machine
Living life through a blue light screen
These protocols keep me alive
While my real self stays inside
Trace Protocol, it's all I know
Dancing through this Digital Hollow
[Verse 2]
Keyboard clicks like midnight rain
Echo through my window pane
Disconnected, yet so aware
Of all the data floating there
Lost connections fade to grey
As algorithms guide my way
[Bridge]
Sometimes I hear the servers cry
Electric dreams that never die
In this void between you and me
There's comfort in anonymity
[Chorus]
I'm just a ghost in the machine
Living life through a blue light screen
These protocols keep me alive
While my real self stays inside
Trace Protocol, it's all I know
Dancing through this Digital Hollow
[Outro]
Static waves and empty space
Digital ghosts that I embrace
Let me fade into the flow
Of this Digital Hollow
