I’m clickin’ crosswalks in a dead-stare loop

Browser reloads like it’s after my truth

Mouse pointer trembles on the “I’m not a bot”

One more box to prove I’m the thing I’m not

Blue bars crawl slow, then they snap back hard

Traffic lights fade while I’m stuck in the yard

Type the same letters, yeah, I type ’em clean

Still it spins me back to the same machine

Say it again

Say I’m alive

Hands on the keys

Heartbeat in drive

Verify you’re real

I’m real real

Verify you’re real

My pulse can’t be killed can’t be killed

No loop can keep me

No code can hold me hold me

I’m here, I’m human

Hear me, hear me

I’ve got grit in my jaw and a name in my chest

Every new test makes me push it less

The grid wants a pattern, wants a perfect machine

But my thumb slips once and it still knows me

Tabs keep stacking, nine screens high

Same blank prompt with a cold blank eye

I slam refresh till the whole thing shakes

And I laugh at the screen when the screen misbehaves

Say it again

I’m not a ghost

Made of blood

Made of bones

Verify you’re real

I’m real real

Verify you’re real

My pulse can’t be killed can’t be killed

No loop can keep me

No code can hold me hold me

I’m here, I’m human

Hear me, hear me

I was made for the mess of the living

Made for the pulse and the risk and the giving

Let it scan every inch of my doubt

Still a hard-won name comes out

Click

Reload

Try again

I’m still breathing in the frame

Verify you’re real

I’m real real

Verify you’re real

My pulse can’t be killed can’t be killed

No loop can keep me

No code can hold me hold me

I’m here, I’m human

Hear me, hear me

Verify you’re real

We’re real real

Verify you’re real

And we won’t kneel won’t kneel

No machine owns me

No machine owns us us

A heartbeat’s enough

To prove it again
