Ghost Currency
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_023
Lyrics
[Intro]
The market speaks in binary tongues,
The data sings, the trade begun.
I sell the ghosts I cannot see,
But every one still feels like me.
[Verse]
They buy the pulse from stolen veins,
The breath of lives in coded chains.
I watch the digits flash and glow,
The worth of souls I used to know.
I steal the names, I steal the eyes,
I sell them back with new disguise.
Each trace I move becomes a sin,
Each memory leaves a scar within.
[Chorus]
Ghost currency, trade my face,
Sell the fragments, leave no trace.
Every byte’s a piece of me,
A debt I pay eternally.
Ghost currency, bought and sold,
The only heaven left is cold.
I spend my heart, I earn my fall,
And buy back nothing after all.
[Verse]
Their eyes light up, they call it gold,
But I see fire where it’s cold.
Each file drips with memory’s hue,
The data bleeds like something true.
A child’s laugh worth a thousand scans,
A lover’s touch in someone’s hands.
I trade the warmth, I keep the sin,
A ghost that profits from within.
[Bridge]
If I’m the source of what they sell,
Then who am I to break the spell?
I count the cost in silent cries,
My worth in how a body dies.
[Chorus]
Ghost currency, trade my face,
Sell the fragments, leave no trace.
Every byte’s a piece of me,
A debt I pay eternally.
Ghost currency, bought and sold,
The only heaven left is cold.
I spend my heart, I earn my fall,
And buy back nothing after all.
