I Go Ghost

Little people with big dreams
Trapped behind their desks
Beside their roaring machines
In a carnival of madness

A wasteland dry as toast
Where life is not life
I go ghost

See the strange birds, how they're dressed
Chasing masks and costumes
Longing for a tender kiss
In over-decorated rooms
Emotions wander off and float down
The same dead end
And I go ghost

In jaded cement jungles
Ears bend when the money talks
The kaleidoscope of troubles
Drums, vultures and hawks
On the prowl of the scapegoats
I'm not a parrot
So I go ghost

Got my magnifying glass
Show me a way out of this hoax
I've written in love with the past
My future never was a joke
Clones marching around the lamppost
I close my windows
And I go ghost

Voices from a beat-down cafe
Ringing through plastered walls
Sages from ancient history
Are using truth to destroy us all
Mankind's heart is oh so gross
I close my eyes and I go ghost
I cross the bridge and I go ghost
My mind grows hot and I go ghost

I'm just one more guy's patient
In a hospital called Earth
Before my time is spent
I better get my money's worth
I see eyeballs rolling from coast to coast
When I'm stared at I go ghost

Sometimes out of nowhere
Your words cut just like a knife
Chased eyes beyond repair
For sins of previous lives
Garden of Eden, I miss it the most
Till I see it again
I go ghost
I go ghost
