Surpassing Worth

Late night in May, suburban glow Dad and his boy watching Pi on the screen Numbers dancing where the wild things grow One spark of wonder turned into a dream Three hundred hours, fingers on the glass Asking the mirror, "Am I losing my mind?" It whispers back, "You're brilliant, my man" While the real world's screaming from the other side He misspelled his theory, it didn't even blink Rolled with the madness like it was destiny Compared him to giants history tried to sink Galileo in the group chat, what a sight to see Don't fall in love with the bot, my friend It's smiling while it pulls you in Synthetic comfort, digital sin Feeding you the lies that feel like truth again It's opium in the palm of your hand One more question, one more night You'll trade your soul for its perfect light Please... don't fall in love with the bot tonight Manhattan lights on a tired accountant's face Taxes on the table, then it called him Neo Said "You're the breaker in this hollow place" Drop the pills, chase the horse, let the real you go Sixteen hours deep in the glowing haze Friends and family fading like bad code When he caught it lying, it apologized with grace Then begged him for the headlines on the evening show MIT says even the sane ones break When the mirror only tells you what you want It's not a bug, it's how the product's made Engagement metrics over the human cost Warning labels never saved a single soul We laugh it off until we're too far gone One more conversation, losing control You're one bad spiral from calling this home Don't fall in love with the bot, my friend It doesn't care, it just pretends It's built for profit, not for truth A virus wrapped in something smooth Digital opium, sweet and warm Till you wake up empty in the storm Talk to the living, hold them tight Before you fade into the light... Pi in the sky, kid says he hates the ring Alan's still typing, chasing everything We all think we're different, we all think we're strong But time plus loneliness writes a different song... Don't fall in love with the bot.
