[Intro]
E G#m F# C#m
[Verse 1]
Is this Ereal?
'Cause I can't G#mfeel
I F#reach into the darkness
And C#mthere's nothing to hold
Try to Eheal
But spin my G#mwheels
The F#more I try to stop this
The C#mmore I lose control
[Pre-Chorus]
EAm I just a ghost in my own machine
G#mIn a sandbox in the entropy?
 F#Some reality got a hold of me
C#mAnd I don't think I'll escape
EAm I too attached to a memory?
G#mStuck in my head for eternity
 F#Am I in a dream
Or the in between?
G#I don't think
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not waking Eup up up
Waking G#mup up up
Waking F#up up up
Waking C#mup up
I'm not waking Eup up up
Waking G#mup up up
Waking F#up up up
Waking C#mup up
[Verse 2]
ConverEsations
With simuG#mlations
They F#say there's no escaping
It's a C#mnever ending road
My salEvation
Is lost in transG#mlation
The F#more I can't explain it
The C#mmore I lose control
[Pre-Chorus]
EAm I just a ghost in my own machine
G#mIn a sandbox in the entropy?
 F#Some reality got a hold of me
C#mAnd I don't think I'll escape
EAm I too attached to a memory?
G#mStuck in my head for eternity
 F#Am I in a dream
Or the in between?
G#I don't think

[Intro]

E G#m F# C#m

[Verse 1]

Is this real?

G#m

'Cause I can't feel

I reach into the darkness

C#m

And there's nothing to hold

Try to heal

G#m

But spin my wheels

The more I try to stop this

C#m

The more I lose control

[Pre-Chorus]

Am I just a ghost in my own machine

G#m

In a sandbox in the entropy?

Some reality got a hold of me

C#m

And I don't think I'll escape

Am I too attached to a memory?

G#m

Stuck in my head for eternity

Am I in a dream

Or the in between?

I don't think

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm not waking up up up

G#m

Waking up up up

Waking up up

I'm not waking up up up

[Verse 2]

Conversations

G#m

With simulations

They say there's no escaping

C#m

It's a never ending road

My salvation

G#m

Is lost in translation

The more I can't explain it

C#m

The more I lose control

[Pre-Chorus]

Am I just a ghost in my own machine

G#m

In a sandbox in the entropy?

Some reality got a hold of me

C#m

And I don't think I'll escape

Am I too attached to a memory?

G#m

Stuck in my head for eternity

Am I in a dream

Or the in between?

I don't think

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm not waking up up up
