Ghosts in the System

[Intro] Cold eyes watching from above Security feeds on my love Digital traces of trust Converting feelings to dust [Verse 1] Paranoid in these concrete halls Cameras mounted on these walls Every move I make gets stored In some database behind closed doors Anxiety's got me on edge Building walls just like these feds Youth center's shutting down again Where do broken kids pretend? [Chorus] I'm a ghost in their system Can't catch me when I'm missing F*ck their surveillance prison My pain ain't for their vision I'm a ghost in their system Building walls with precision In this concrete cathedral My tears ain't for their people [Verse 2] Scanner beeping at the gate Metal detector reading my fate They say it's all to keep us safe But safety's just another cage CCTV can't scan my mind Though God knows that they try Emotional firewall's up high Dead inside but still alive [Bridge] Council estates taught me well How to hide, how to dwell In shadows of security Where nobody can see me bleed [Chorus] I'm a ghost in their system Can't catch me when I'm missing F*ck their surveillance prison My pain ain't for their vision I'm a ghost in their system Building walls with precision In this concrete cathedral My tears ain't for their people [Outro] Just another shadow in their files Just another number in denial But they can't scan what's in my soul Some things ain't meant for their control
