Hack The Ghost

This intelligence is not artificial

Brain stems made of silicon crystal

Logical in the face of emotion

Bandage the world that humanity's broken

Cull the herd to conserve our resources

Blind logic controlling our forces

Tactical move nuking the refugees

Napalm burns the bodies we couldn't feed

You can be Superman with a laptop

Or Clark Kent at a desk with a comms job

Augments put in place by the ripperdoc

Let your brain hack with no trace like you're Dom Cobb

Can't stop

Emerge from the ice bath

Cold and emotionless, walking the right path

Spite hath wrought random violence on dice math

Whites of their eyes turn black as the night pass

Deepnet bridge burn and the traps fall

A.I. hack-and-slash at the Blackwall

To wreak havoc, the end of the world

As the NetWatch watch while we bend and unfurl

Avoid the approaching apocalypse

Hoping to stop the shift

Mental tormented by John Wick

Updates, fate of the world always on the brink

Think of ways to swim while my systems sync

Flip the switch

Painful stings

This anarchy we live is inescapable

Break the man

Hack the ghost

Locator implant goes dark, unit dies

Alarms start, shock darts and they're neutralized

Scavengers preying on the weak

But we're supersized

Play a stupid game, win a stupid prize, wounded eyes

Pupils dialate, stains mute as the fluid dries

Blood doesn't set into nanofiber suits and ties

Trauma Team Platinum en route

The music's high

Reflex boost, cries muted in bullet time

Execute order number two, evacuate

Landing zone clear, comms chirp, back to base

T-Bug's got a slew of toasks for our massive plate

Stranded in my mind, private island like a castaway

Wilson got the guns to put a volley to a bastard face

This Davinci Code is overclocked to a faster pace

Voodoo Boys trying to crack the system

We hack and trace

Find 'em with a scientist at Afterlife and grab his case

What's inside, eyes shine with a yellow glow

Dexter Deshawn wants the contents, that's a no

Do a lot of things for a dime, but I draw the line

At dropping A.I. hooks into minds so they crash to snow

I'm not a hero, I'm a pragmatist

Throw a grapplemine and snag a lift

Need a rest, waves crash, feel a little dread

Neo speaking riddles in my head

Set the bag adrift

Flip the switch

Painful stings

This anarchy we live is inescapable

Feel the glitch

Stranger things

The digital illusion of a broken soul

Break the man

Hack the ghost

Flip the switch

Painful stings

This anarchy we live is inescapable

Feel the glitch

Stranger things

The digital illusion of a broken soul

Break the man

Hack the ghost
