00:02In the glow of the screen
00:09Something watches unseen
00:15Silver shadows lean in close
00:19While the world scrolls on alone
00:38Pause the frame at sixteen
00:41There's a painting on the wall
00:44Horned figure circle
00:48A woman reading while the darkness calls
00:52Below her sits another
00:57Phone glowing in her hand
01:01Same formation, same hunger
01:04Clinging to the living land
01:08They call it privacy
01:12They call it keeping you free
01:16But the mirror on the wall
01:19Shows the clingers that we see
01:25From the first machine that honed
01:29A price that made the faithful mum
01:32Three sixes repeating clear
01:35Written in the early years
01:41Bite the fruit, take the knowledge
01:45Silver ones still cling
01:49They sold us the forbidden
01:52And we wear it like a ring
01:55The orchard never left the garden
01:59It just learned to sell the fall
02:05Every screen of glowing serpents
02:08Whispering know it all
02:12Once they marched the blindfolded
02:15Toward the edge of a drop
02:18One man tore the cloth away
02:21And the others wouldn't stop
02:26Then a hammer smashed the screen
02:28In the ear of the big brother dream
02:30They cast themselves as the liberator
02:34Handing light to the ones who scream
02:38The light that costs a bite
02:40Light that leaves a mark
02:42Light that follows every night
02:45And watches in the dark
02:51Look at the cans that's salmon
02:55Look at the gravy that baptizes
02:59Look at the brands that play with fire
03:03While the crowd just monetizes
03:06They don't hide it anymore
03:10They put the horns right in the frame
03:14They put the number in the prize
03:18They put the bite inside the name
03:22Bite the fruit, take the knowledge
03:26Silver ones still cling
03:28They sold us the forbidden
03:32And we wear it like a ring
03:36The orchard never left the garden
03:40It just learned to sell the fall
03:45Every screen of glowing serpents
03:49Whispering, whispering, know it all
03:53They showed us the painting
03:55They showed us the prize
03:57They showed us the march
03:59They showed us the bite
04:01Now you see it
04:02Now you know
04:04The clingers never left
04:06They just learned to glow
04:10They just learned to glow
