By The Books
Ghost

This one is by the books

Chapter for chapter

Word for word

This formula in disguise

Now I'm shaking watching what they buy

This one is so expected

Line for line

Move for move

This falsity in disguise

Now I'm shaking watching what they buy

With stale words you kick it when it's down

No substance, this is the death of sound

One pioneer finds the new ground

So copy up and break it down

In your town they're dropping names like dropping bombs

Hey product these chords the will not become plastic

You front what you can't back up

Repeat everything that you hear

There is nothing left here

You trust everything

We've lost everything and ducking punches

You cheer anything

False idols they cheer it with you

Sound for sound it's killing me without sympathy

My ears are deaf as of now

This one it has no use

Line for line

Move for move

This uniform in disguise

And now I'm shaking

Conformist spies

Time will come when you get what you deserve
