lyrics

The eye is your protector:
the time-and-motion cop.
The sticker on your window your life in dash and dot.
it hangs there like a blood moon
as the red line's overrun.
You are not sure if it's towards
or away you run.

The algorithm loves you
so divides the world in two:
the decent and the deviant
(mistakes will be pursued).
Maybe you were naïve;
the punch-clock shows you lied.
It screens your metadata
to protect the ones inside.

The history you can't delete...
it reads your brain's black box:
your hippocampus clamped in steel
in clouds of Entonox.
When you're gasping, flapping,
a black glove on your face,
you'll reach for help and ring the bell
but that's when it looks away.
