[Intro] C#m F#m (x8)
[Verse 1] C#m F#m
Can’t stop thinking about if and when I die
C#m F#m
For now I see that “if” and “when” are truly different cries
C#m F#m
For “if” is purely panic and “when” is solemn sorrow
C#m F#m
And one invades today while the other spies tomorrow
C#m F#m
We’re surrounded and we’re hounded
C#m F#m
There’s no “above” or “under” or “around” it
C#m F#m
For “above” is blind belief and “under” is sword to sleeve
C#m F#m
And “around” is scientific miracle let’s pick “above” and see
C#m F#m
For if and when we go “above” the question still remains
C#m F#m
Are we still in love and is it possible we feel the same
C#m F#m
And that’s when going “under” starts to take my wonder
C#m F#m
But until that time I’ll try to sing this
[Chorus] E C#m
If I keep moving they won’t know
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me’s too slow
E
I’ll morph to someone else
C#m
I’m just a ghost
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#

[Verse 2] C#m F#m
He’ll always try to stop me that Nicholas Bourbaki
C#m F#m
He’s got no friends close but those who know him most know
C#m F#m
He goes by Nico he told me I’m a copy
C#m F#m
When I’d hear him mock me that’s almost stopped me
C#m F#m
Well we’re surrounded and we’re hounded
C#m F#m
There’s no above or a secret door what are we here for
C#m F#m
If not to run straight through all our tormentors
C#m F#m
But until that time I’ll try and sing this
[Chorus] E C#m
If I keep moving they won’t know
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me’s too slow
E
I’ll morph to someone else
C#m
I’m just a ghost
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#

[Bridge 1] C#m9 F#m
Lights they blink to me transmitting things to me
C#m9 F#m
Ones and zeroes ergo this symphony
C#m9 F#m
Anybody listening Ones and zeroes
C#m9 F#m
Count to infinity, ones and zeroes [Bridge 2] C#m9 F#m
I’m surrounded and I’m hounded
C#m9 F#m
There’s no “above” or “under” or “around” it
C#m9 F#m
For “above” is blind belief and “under” is sword to sleeve

But until that time
[Interlude] E C#m G#m F#
I’ll morph to someone else, I’m just a ghost [Chorus] E C#m
If I keep moving they won’t know
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
