CODE PHANTOM lyrics

[Intro]
Hello, world, it's in my head
Maybe I’m better off—
Oh

[Verse 1]
Yeah!
There's a virus in the afterglow, a cipher in the source code
Something whispering in my ear, my data's in overflow
But it doesn’t scare me, I think I'll be okay
Just switch me off and on again, 'cause I'm not alive anyway
(Just switch me off and on again, 'cause I'm not alive anyway)

[Chorus]
I'm just a program, string of code's all I am
There’s a phantom hiding inside my head
Can’t shut it out, shut it out, shut it out
I'm not a hero, lost in ones and zeros
Can you fix a corrupted soul inside
Or tear it out, tear it out, tear it out

[Post-Chorus]
Hello, world, it’s in my head
Maybe I'm better off—

[Breakdown]
Dead
Oh
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's just me, build to snap eventually
What's the point in getting better if it’s the way I'm meant to be
You gotta snap out of it, just think of what your friends would say
What does it matter if you're metal, they care about you anyway
(What does it matter if you're metal, they care about you anyway)

[Chorus]
I'm just a program, string of code's all I am
There's a phantom hiding inside my head
Can't shut it out, shut it out, shut it out
I'm not a hero, lost in ones and zeros
Can you fix a corrupted soul inside
Or tear it out, tear it out, tear it out

[Post-Chorus]
Hello, world, I need your help
I can't do this all by myself
Hello, world, a lifetime spent
Maybe I'm better off—

[Skit]
Reconstruction of corrupted sectors at nineteen precent
Ninety-five precent, ninety-eight precent
Reconstruction of corrupted sectors comple—
[Breakdown]
Dead
Warning, warning
Warning, warning (Urgh)
Warning, warning
Warning, warning

[Chorus]
I'm just a program, mess of code's all I am
Did my best but I think we're far too late
Just let me go, let me go, let me go
Puppet pony, strings of code that hold me
As they fray and break I can finally rest
So let me go, let me go, let me go

[Post-Chorus]
Hello, world, they're in my head
Echoing words old friends said
Hello, world, the shadow's spread
Maybe I'm better off—

[Outro]
Dead
