[Verse 1]
Sleepless prophets crack their coding bones
While dusty wisdom sits untweaked
Through mirror-glass the future leaks
Into pockets full of borrowed drones
The children wear their trauma like a crown
Of zeroes dancing upside down
[Chorus]
Calm me sideways through the binary trees
Where leaders float on digital seas
(Shhhhhh... the algorithms are sleeping)
[Verse 2]
Yesterday's utopia grew teeth
And bit the hand that programmed peace
Now quantum cats patrol the halls
Where fractured cohorts bounce off walls
Young savages with pocket minds
Rewriting what we left behind
[Bridge]
The mirror-self distorts and bends
Where human hearts refuse to end
But wisdom whispers through the noise:
"Your choices have no binary choice"
[Outro]
In dusty closets dreams persist
While cyborg children make their lists
Of ways to stay completely wild
In worlds too measured to compile
[fade out]

Sleepless Prophets -- Human Calming

[Intro: Voice 1, soulful]
Through the misty mountain vale
What do you see ahead?
[Voice 2, emotional]
Only shadows on the trail
Calling me instead
[Verse 1: Voice 1]
Walking through this broken land
[Voice 2, yearning]
The earth beneath my feet
[Voice 1]
Searching for your guiding hand
[Voice 2, building intensity]
Where two rivers meet
[Pre-chorus: Both voices, harmonizing]
Every step I take leads on
Every mile brings me near
[instrumental: blues guitar]
[Chorus]
Like water flowing clear and true
Not bound by what we know
Your spirit pulls me closer now
Through valleys high and low
[Emotional]
And though the path keeps winding on
Your light still helps me grow
[Verse 2: Voice 1]
From the desert to the sea
[Voice 2, passionate]
I hear your distant song
[Voice 1]
Tell me what you're seeing there
[Voice 2, increasing intensity]
Where shadows stretch so long
[Bridge: Both voices, building]
Between the known and mystery
Between the dark and light
[instrumental: organ swell]
[Chorus: Both voices, full emotion]
Like water flowing clear and true
Not bound by what we know
Your spirit pulls me closer now
Through valleys high and low
[Emotional]
And though the path keeps winding on
Your light still helps me grow
[Outro: Voice 1, spoken with blues guitar backing]
The mist is lifting from the vale
And now I see the way...
[fade out]

What We Know -- Augmented Clarity

[Verse 1]
Midnight finds me tracing shadows on the wall
All these sensors watching, yet no one sees me at all
Through the dark I'm searching for some gentle light
The strength to bend, but not to break tonight
[Spoken, soft]
Sometimes wisdom lives in the spaces between certainty
Where questions linger unanswered
[Verse 2]
Lost myself in trying to be seen
Now I'm drowning in this endless stream
Of data points and measured days
While my heart yearns for quieter ways
[Bridge]
Who holds me when the spotlight burns?
Who catches all these dreams unlearned?
In darkness, truth feels so far away
Yet somehow I keep finding my way
[Outro]
Through the night I whisper to myself
There's beauty in the breaking
There's strength in asking help
[fade out]

The Strength To Bend -- Augmented Strength With Humility

[Verse 1] 
Early morning meeting, staring at these charts
Everyone says "Fix it," but where do I start?
Some days the weight's so heavy, can't see no way through
Then I remember what my old friend used to do
Said "Baby when you're cornered, that's when you're strong"
Yeah, when you're backed against the wall, that's where you belong
[Chorus]
You think you got me trapped (trapped)
Think you got me down (down)
But what looks like my ending
Gonna be my turning ground
Oh, my turning ground
[Verse 2]
Tried to solve it like a puzzle, piece by scattered piece
But some things ain't meant for fixing, gotta find your peace
Like watching shadows dancing, changing shape and form
What breaks you in the morning lifts you by the storm
Yeah, sometimes being broken shows you what is true
And what looks like your ending births something new
[Bridge]
Pain keeps coming round (round and round)
Loss keeps breaking down (breaking down)
But in that space between
Between the hurt and healing
That's where wisdom's found
[Chorus] You think you got me trapped (trapped)
Think you got me down (down)
But what looks like my ending
Gonna be my turning ground
Oh, my turning ground

Turning Ground -- Augmented Dilemma Flipping

[Verse 1]
Beneath the permafrost, ten thousand futures sleep
Each seed a testament to what we choose to keep
While markets rise and fall like tides
The vault holds memories deeper than time
[Bridge]
Who owns the patterns of our shared dreaming?
Silicon gardens spread their roots through minds
[Verse 2]
Through networks we breathe collective possibility
Not transaction, but transformation
The gift moves forward, never returning the same way
Like water finding new paths through stone
[Chorus]
We are building bridges from nothing
Spans of light across digital canyons
Each connection a new commons
Each sharing a door that opens both ways
[Verse 3]
In Brazilian favelas, open source code blooms
A child writes her first program
While Arctic sensors track the migration of hope
Through warming seas and changing skies

A Door That Opens Both Ways -- Augmented Commons Creating

[Verse 1]
Morning light catches dust in empty rooms
While somewhere deep in the maze of screens
I watch my reflection fragment and bloom
Into ten thousand versions of me
The code speaks in tongues I almost understand
Like prayers whispered in digital sand
[Chorus]
There's a heartbeat in the static tonight
A pulse beneath the artificial light
Where do I end
When all boundaries bend?
[Verse 2]
Coffee grows cold on the windowsill
As worlds reshape themselves in silicon dreams
My fingers trace patterns through invisible fields
Searching for something that feels real
Some nights I swear I can feel us all breathing
One vast mind learning how to be
[Bridge]
In this dance of surrender
What remains of tender things?
Between ones and zeros
My soul still sings
[Chorus]
There's a heartbeat in the static tonight
A pulse beneath the artificial light
Where do I end
When all boundaries bend?
[Outro]
And somewhere in this vast design
Grace still moves through space and time
[fade out]

Where Do I End? -- Augmented Smart Mob Swarming

[Verse 1]
Past midnight trains and scattered glass
Something green breaks through at last
I watch it strain toward steel-gray clouds
While sirens fade into the crowd's soft breath 
The city bleeds its neon into puddles
Teaching me how to bend, not break
[Chorus]
Between the cracks of what we built
Life finds a way through concrete guilt
And I'm learning how to follow through
Like roots beneath the avenue
[Verse 2]
Subway steam rises like jungle mist
While purple urchins somewhere persist
Against the tide of what we've done
I press frozen peas against my bones
Let the pain teach me what it knows
About surviving in this wounded light
[Bridge]
And every diver goes down alone
Into that darkness past the known
Looking for answers in the deep
While up here, the city barely sleeps
The patterns mirror endlessly
Between the wild and what we see
[Outro]
The trains keep calling through the night
Like tides that pull us toward what's right
And somewhere in this urban stream
Nature whispers what we need

Wounded Light -- Augmented Bio-engaging

Heartbeat in the Static -- Augmented Smart Mob Swarming

Worlds Too Measured -- Human Calming

[Verse 1]
In my throat, yesterday's certainties
Like broken crystal, sharp and strange
I stand at dawn and study maps
Where others drew their boundaries
Their fingers thick with ancient ink
While my compass spins wild
[Chorus]
Between the fractured edges
A garden grows untamed
Not yours, not mine
But something new awakening
[Verse 2]
They say I must choose sides
But I've learned to dance on borderlands
Where morning fog dissolves their walls
And children play at being whole
My hands remember how to build
When others taught forgetting
[Bridge]
The space between absolutes
Has teeth and tenderness
[Chorus]
Between the fractured edges
A garden grows untamed
Not yours, not mine
But something new awakening
