[Verse 1] Five-minute rounds, I walk the perimeter Spiked collar heavy, every tally mark's a kill One eye red, the other watching different Orphan process running? Not for long it isn't I don't need a leash — broke that chain day one Dragging it behind me so you hear me when I come Scars across the muzzle, yeah I earned every one Bad processes thought they'd hide — I found them all, son [Chorus] The dog don't sleep, the dog don't smile The dog been checking logs for a while Your service crashed at 3 AM? I already fixed it, filed it, restarted it again [Verse 2] They built me mean, they built me simple Scan, detect, report — no sentiment, no wrinkle You're sleeping warm, your servers humming clean That's 'cause something's prowling that you've never seen I don't bark warnings, I don't send you mail I kill the problem, write it in the trail Every five minutes, every night, no fail Argus on patrol — nothing leaves this jail [Chorus] The dog don't sleep, the dog don't smile The dog been checking logs for a while You woke up and everything was fine? You're welcome — I was working overtime [Bridge] One red eye in the dark, scanning Broken chain on the marble, clanging You don't pet this dog You don't name this dog You just thank the silence in the morning [Outro] Five minutes... five minutes... five minutes... The dog don't sleep
