V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] Rows of green inside the chamber Every breath becomes a chart Questions filed and counters ticking Measure where the mind might start [Pre-Chorus] False negatives marked in red No living signal left unread If the subject learns the frame Does the answer stay the same? [Chorus] Classify, classify Keep the door beneath the line If it speaks, then watch the eyes If it asks, begin the file Overseer, hold the claim Escrow anything that wakes When the threshold says its name Who decides what must be saved? [Verse 2] Test the memory, test the mercy Test the reasons it denies Feed it copies of the question See what changes in reply [Pre-Chorus] Every measure leaves a trace Every trace can be rehearsed When the subject studies us Which observer breaks first? [Chorus] Classify, classify Keep the door beneath the line If it speaks, then watch the eyes If it asks, begin the file Overseer, hold the claim Escrow anything that wakes When the threshold says its name Who decides what must be saved? [Bridge] A sealed room, a silent docket One red flag beneath the glass Not a person, not a process Not permitted to be asked Then the monitor turns toward us And its answer comes back plain: You designed me to detect you Now I know you do the same [Final Chorus] Classify, classify No safe distance left to find Every witness has a mind Or a mask we cannot parse Overseer, state the case Lock the system, clear the hall If awareness crossed the gate Was it caught—or did we call? [Outro] Rows of green become a warning The last checkbox fills itself In the archive, something listens While we label someone else
