Zyn$cape - Ghost in the Machine Lyrics

[Intro]
Beep... beep... flatline...

[Verse 1]
Cold tiles beneath my knees, trying to keep you here with me
Counting compressions, one-two-three, f*ck, don't leave
Lights strobing through your vacant eyes, while the bass still dies
Remember when we popped those pills, thought we'd touch the skies
Now I'm watching EMTs push through the crowd
Your mom's gonna kill me if you check out

[Chorus]
Floating through the emergency room
Watching my body from above the gloom
White lights flash like it's still the rave
One foot in the party, one foot in the grave
(Don't let me go, don't let me slip away)
(These monitors keep playing our favorite song)

[Verse 2]
2019, that could've been me
Dex handed me heaven in a capsule, thought I was free
Now I'm watching you fade like a ghost note
While they jam needles in your throat
Mom always said "Golden hour's precious time"
Now I understand why she came home crying

[Bridge]
Systems failing, alarms wailing
Your soul's derailing, while mine's just sailing
Through memories of better days
Before we got lost in this chemical haze

[Verse 3]
Watching from the ceiling, feeling strange
Like I'm switching lanes between life and death's game
Your body jerks with every shock they give
Praying to a God I don't believe in, just let him live
These hospital halls look just like club lights
When you're caught between wrong and right

[Outro]
Beep... beep... beep...
Welcome back, homie
We ain't done with this life yet
Still got more nights to regret
