20th Century Ghost
Once upon a time, there was a place that was my own
I understood the way things worked, and the things that I was shown
Don't get me wrong, I was always looking in from the outside
At least it all made sense to me, and I knew where I could hide
We had pleasant valley shopping, but the seasons came and went
The things I knew were left behind in reality's ascent
It seemed to happen without notice-it seemed to happen in a day
It seemed to happen when I wasn't looking, but I guess it's here to stay
I'm left with only memories, but I'm not sure that they're real
It's really hard to come across with exactly how I feel
But I'm a 20th century ghost-just a shade of an echo of a memory
Yes, I'm a 20th century ghost-the zeitgeist I know just keep on haunting me
I walk around the town and see the world on another plane
The rate that time is traveling in is driving me insane
Despite me not belonging here, there's not much I can do
But see things with a distant gaze, and a 20th century view
Now I look for things that I once knew, but it seems to be in vain
The places that I'd like to go, they're only in my brain
Should I revel in absurdity, or disassociate?
It all feels very fictional, and I guess that it's too late
I frequent Uncanny Valley, for there's nowhere else to go
I'm sitting back with button eyes, so I guess I'll watch the show
It seemed to happen without notice-it seemed to happen in a day
It seemed to happen when I wasn't looking, but I guess it's here to stay
I'm left with only memories, but I'm not sure that they're real
It's really hard to come across with exactly how I feel
But I'm a 20th century ghost-just a shade of an echo of a memory
Yes, I'm a 20th century ghost-the flux is the crux in our society
I walk around the town and see the world on another plane
The rate that time is traveling in is driving me insane
Despite me not belonging here, there's not much I can do
But see things with a distant gaze, and a 20th century view
