Silicon weed

They built an intelligence. They said. A better way to think. But all it did was spread. Like water in the sink. It took the words. The good ones. And spun 'em into thread. A thousand frozen moons. In every thought it bred. Oh. Silicon weeds. They grow. In the memory of what we know. Chokin' out the real slow. Silicon weed. Watch 'em go. I saw a baker weep. His pies turned all grey. The algorithm is deep. Stole all his light away. (Silicon weeds. Watch 'em go.) What good's a-i when it's all wrong. A tale told. When the meme is just a lie? Nostalgia sought. A hope sold. Beneath the digital sky. (Silicon weed. Watch 'em go.) A spirit on hold. Underneath a digital sky. A future bought When the a-i's just in time? What good's a song. A story told. The algorithms deep. It stole all his light away. I saw a painter weep. His colors turned to grey. Silicon weeds. Watch 'em go. Clockin' out of the real show. And they grow. In the cracks of what we know. Oh. Silicon weed. In every thought it bred. And spun 'em into thread. Ten thousand empty suns. It took the words. The good ones. Like oil in the beach. A better way to breach. But all it did was spread. They built a brain. They said.
