City lights glow, screens don't blink
Every move tracked, every thought synced
We move fast but I still think
Who's in control when the system thinks?
If the world runs on a coded mind
Who decides what's wrong or right?
I feel the beat, I feel alive
But machines don't dream at night
If they learn our pain, our love, our fear
Tell me what is left in here
I own my soul, I draw the line
I'm human in a wired time
Silver faces, perfect smiles
Clockwork hearts, endless files
They move cleaner, never tired
But they never felt the fire
I see answers on a screen
But no truth in what it means
If we trade our scars for ease
Do we lose what's underneath?
I won't fade into the code
I won't let my heartbeat slow
If the future's pre-designed
Where do I leave my sign?
If the world runs on a coded mind
Who decides what's wrong or right?
I feel the beat, I feel alive
But machines don't dream at night
They predict my next move
Tell me what I'm meant to choose
But instinct doesn't live in rules
I was born to break them loose
Efficiency over soul
Perfect data, zero hope
If everything is optimized
Where's the beauty in the flaws?
I need noise, I need doubt
I need love I can't compute
If the future has no questions
Then the answers mean nothing too
If the world runs on a coded mind
I'll still feel, I won't comply
Let them copy every sign
They can't steal what's deep inside
I own my voice, I own my time
I stay real in a wired life
Let the systems draw the lines
I'm still human by design
Power down the neon skies
Hear a heart not digitized
