Milo Nova - Digital Ghosts Lyrics

[Intro]
Static memories, digital graves
Found your truth between the waves
Hidden tapes beneath the shade
Of your corporate masquerade

[Verse 1]
Dusty boxes in your study, designer suits hung on the wall
Old mixtapes with scratched-up labels, guess you had to hide it all
Young revolutionary spirit trapped inside a golden cage
Now you're giving TED talks while your past just gathers age
Found your voice beneath the static, spitting bars against the state
Now you're sippin' champagne, living life at real estate
Damn, who were you before the corner office took your soul?
Before the stock options made you forget your former role

[Chorus]
Ghost in the machine, trapped in binary
Your voice through distortion speaks to me
Father, what happened to your flames?
Now you're just a shadow of your name
(Of your name, of your name)

[Verse 2]
Warehouse parties turned to boardrooms
Underground turned penthouse views
Wonder if you miss the freedom
Before you had so much to lose
Every conference call's a funeral
For the rebel in your blood
Designer shoes walked over everything
You once stood up for, what the f*ck?
Sometimes I catch you staring distant
At those skylines made of glass
Like you're searching for the echo
Of a revolution that didn't last

[Bridge]
In between the frequencies
Your truth starts breaking through
All these glitchy memories
Show me the real you
Success built on buried dreams
What's fake and what is true?
Am I just another version
Of what they did to you?

[Verse 3]
Silver spoon stuck in my mouth while
Your old words burn in my brain
Trust fund kid with rebel thoughts but
All my rage feels f*cking fake
Inherited your silence, daddy
Along with all your shame
Now we're both just ghosts pretending
In this corporate game

[Outro]
Static memories, digital graves
Found your truth between the waves
But these fragments of resistance
Fade away, fade away, fade away...
