The Ghost Inside

I'm not awake but living in a dream all feels so real
sleepwalking til the day I die if that's what it takes to feel alive
Mama calls me up late at night to ascertain are you doing alright
shapeshifting my way through life
I gotta walk a straight and narrow path
Mama sorry for the way I am apologies can only mean so much
you got to know you had a different son so I told her
Mama yeah I feel alright

I do confess my sloppiness is my weakness
It's like I'm dead, well if my hearts a hologram
the ghost inside, is all you'll see when i dissolve
a heretic, I'm a heretic yeah

Call me a fake, it only ever fuels my will to live
Watch me as I turn a son of God out of an ordinary man of faith
got me fixing a new device to entertain all the people of christ
backsliding my heels on ice I gotta walk a straight and narrow path
Mama listen to the words I say I can't exactly figure to convey
maybe you could read between the lines when I told you
Mama yeah i feel alright

I do confess my sloppiness is my weakness
It's like I'm dead, well if my hearts a hologram
the ghost inside, is all you'll see when i dissolve
a heretic, I do confess yeah
