It’s too hot. The flowers are watching me. Yeah, I'm being watched by summer. That’s not poetic—it’s real. I can feel their eyes. [Verse 1] Sunflowers—tall, yellow, freakishly tall. Lining the path like soldiers. They’re not smiling. They’re monitoring. I look left. I look right. They all look back. Not a breeze. Just heat. And judgmental flowers. [Pre-Chorus – jittery spoken chant] Those aren't plants—those are agents. Secret seeds. Solar spies. Big Brother’s got petals now. And they never blink. [Chorus – half-spoken, building panic] Sunflower surveillance! Summer's got eyes! The lady with the stroller just scanned me twice! Sunflower surveillance! No place to hide! The heat is a network and I’m on the grid! [Verse 2] Jogging grandma waves. But does she… know? Her dog barked in Morse code. My sandals squeaked—was that recorded? Someone just coughed. That cough meant something. Everyone’s in on it. Everyone’s a sunflower in disguise! [Pre-Chorus 2 – anxious, rhythmic] Don't trust the sky, It's a lens. The sun? That’s a drone. Even my popsicle’s melting with intent. I taste espionage. [Chorus – full band, angular guitar] Sunflower surveillance! Too bright to think! That kid with the ice cream just winked! Sunflower surveillance! No peace, no nap! Even the trees are clapping back! [Bridge – fragmented narration] The air is vibrating. Not music. Not wind. Information. Heat-coded. Leaf-approved. Stay cool. Stay quiet. Stay— [Outro – dryly, defeated] I dropped my popsicle. It hit the sidewalk. They saw that. Of course they did. Sunflowers always see.
