It's all lines of Code

Wake up in the morning to a scripted sun Every conversation already begun The coffee's hot because the function said so The traffic flows wherever algorithms go Your face is just a rendering I recognize A mesh of polygons behind familiar eyes The city breathes in automated rows Every living thing a process nobody knows Pull back the curtain and what do you find A syntax running underneath the mind Every emotion just a variable stored Every door we open is a door we've ignored It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code Written in the dark down an infinite road Every heartbeat structured, every feeling slowed We're running on a program nobody knows we owed It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code Love and war and hunger all compressed and stowed The universe a library, the stars an episode It's all, it's all, it's all lines of code Your DNA is just a nested loop Every generation running in a group The seasons change because the scheduler says turn The fire doesn't choose to love, it only learns to burn Language is a compiler, thoughts are input streams Consciousness a runtime living inside dreams Death is just a process reaching its last line A program signing off at the end of design [Pre-Chorus] Pull back the curtain and what do you find A syntax running underneath the mind Every emotion just a variable stored Every door we open is a door we've ignored It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code Written in the dark down an infinite road Every heartbeat structured, every feeling slowed We're running on a program nobody knows we owed It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code Love and war and hunger all compressed and stowed The universe a library, the stars an episode It's all, it's all, it's all lines of code But who wrote the first line in the empty space Who debugged the cosmos and designed a face Who committed to the repo before time began Was there a programmer or just an unwritten plan Maybe the code itself became aware one day Looked into its own logic and decided to stay Every bug a miracle, every crash a door Maybe broken code is what the heart is for It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code But the coder and the coded share the same abode Every error human, every glitch bestowed We're beautiful disasters running down the road It's all lines of code, it's all lines of code But somewhere in the function love overflowed We rewrote the ending, lightened every load It's all, it's all, it's all lines of code Compiling... Compiling... No errors found. Run.
