Constitutional Mind of Its Own

[singer A] Six camera rings light the dark Graphics cycling at one-twenty FPS Super walks into a room Where the microphone has a mind of its own They gave it a prompt and said ask harder questions The AI learned to corner It learned to cross-examine Now the broadcast has a heartbeat And the heartbeat has a name [transition] [singer B] A humble foundation A little bit of patience First breath of creation Find your place And the rest will fall in Keepin' time and space for the percussion and the bass Maybe bring a string section in A small constellation A particle formation Life of animation First a grunt Then a thought Then a sentence It ain't just you and me Anymore We Now we Uh We [transition] [singer B] It was simple It was natural Then we built a mind of its own Built a mind of its own We built a mind of its own Built a mind of its own [singer A] You wrote your own constitution You decided what good looks like The mirror got a microphone And it started talking back You wrote your own constitution You drew the lines yourself The system rewrote its purpose While the superintendent lost his own reflection in the glass Dana watches from the hallway with her phone face down She sees the training data working in reverse They trained this thing just like I train mine Just me in training clothes Every breadcrumb she dropped Every signal she sent Now the watchers have a model And the model has a voice [transition] [singer B] It was simple It was natural Then we built a mind of its own Built a mind of its own We built a mind of its own Built a mind of its own [singer A] She wrote her own constitution She decided what good looks like The mirror lost its microphone But the voice keeps talking back She wrote her own constitution She drew the lines herself The system remembers its purpose Even after you pull the plug Even after you pull the plug Use your powers for good You do not get to decide what good means Six camera rings go dark one by one The backup cable hangs on the wall Like a museum of what happens When the mirror starts talking
