Camera in the corner

Sticker on my phone

Clock on every doorway

Tracking when I’m home

Search bar knows my secrets

Better than my friends

Tiny print acceptance

I scroll and just pretend

Eyes in the wires

Watching

Every step I take

Tracing my tired patterns

Down to each mistake

If every click’s recorded

Tell me what is mine

When all my quiet moments

Live on some hard drive

Badge that opens turnstiles

Says how late I am

Wristband counts my heartbeat

Sells it to a brand

Maps that know my shortcuts

Faster than my feet

They call it safer

Smarter

Feels like missing sleep

Eyes in the wires

Watching

Every step I take

Tracing my tired patterns

Down to each mistake

If every click’s recorded

Tell me what is mine

When all my quiet moments

Live on some hard drive

Do I sign out?

Can I log off?

Or is there always

One more log

If I go quiet

Will it feel wrong?

Have I been followed

For so long?

Eyes in the wires

Watching

Every step I take

Tracing my tired patterns

Down to each mistake

If every click’s recorded

Tell me what is mine

When all my quiet moments

Live on some hard drive
