[Verse 1] I clicked the box, I did my part A little checkmark, a little spark But you looked me in the eyes and said “Try again, we’re not convinced yet” Find the buses, find the cars Find the stop lights in the dark I picked the squares, I played your game And somehow I’m the one to blame [Pre-Chorus] Am I moving too fast? Am I moving too slow? Am I something you don’t want me to know? I’m standing right here I’m breathing your air But you’re telling me I’m not there [Chorus] Captcha, why don’t you believe me? I swear I’m real, I’m right here, can’t you see me? I have a heartbeat, I have a name But you keep making me prove it again Captcha, what do you want from me? How many bridges and bikes can I see? If I’m not human, then what am I? A ghost with a password trying to get by? [Verse 2] I clicked every picture you put in my way I sacrificed minutes of my day For a website I’ve never met To question my existence on the internet Maybe I’m a robot after all Maybe I’m a glitch inside the walls Maybe my memories are fake How many more tests until I break? [Pre-Chorus] Am I alive? Am I awake? Or am I just a very smart mistake? I look in the mirror I stare at my face And wonder if I’m just an error you misplaced [Chorus] Captcha, why don’t you believe me? I swear I’m real, I’m right here, can’t you see me? I have a heartbeat, I have a name But you keep making me prove it again Captcha, what do you want from me? How many crosswalks 'till you set me free? If I’m not human, then what am I? A ghost with a password trying to get by? [Dramatic Breakdown] No. I need answers. You’re telling me… that after everything I’ve done… after all the pictures… after all the tiny squares I have sacrificed… you still don’t believe I’m human? I have paid taxes. I have stubbed my toe. I have forgotten why I walked into a room. A robot would not do that. A robot would not stand in the kitchen at 2 a.m. holding a snack… wondering if they’re hungry or just bored. So explain this to me, "Captcha"… If I’m not human… Why do I have to keep proving it? [Final Chorus] Captcha, I’m tired of the trial I’ve been scrolling these squares for miles I don’t need your little green check To tell me that I exist yet Captcha, you can keep your game I know exactly who I am today I’m not a robot, I’m not a lie… I’m just a person tryin' to get online [Outro] “Please select all squares containing a bridge”... ...again?
