Signals drip into the bloodstream Screens breathe for us Silent commands in every gesture Thoughts learned, copied, returned I feel the tide before it speaks Waves crash behind the eyes Data floods the inner skin Every click another weight Every word pre-approved We were taught to swallow light Until the dark felt safe Compression of the mind Overload normalized They call it progress I call it drowning Waves Waves inside my skull Pushed, fed, refined Until nothing is my own Waves Endless transmission I bend, I break I disappear in the signal Faces glow without sleep Hands scroll through the ruins Choice reduced to pattern Rebellion sold in updates We traded breath for access And called it connection The architect watches Calculates loss as gain Human error eliminated Emotion archived The future does not ask Kneel to the interface Trust the unseen hand Obedience is survival Silence is peace Waves Waves tear through my will Programmed calm Over a fractured core Waves No shore in sight Only motion Only control If this is the end Let it remember We were more than signals Before the waves learned our names
