Future Proof

Woke to a feed full of brand new impossible things, Somebody shipped tomorrow while I was asleep, Half of the street is scared of what the morning brings, But standing still is the riskiest promise you can keep

The sun comes up, the rules have changed The whole board got rearranged Machines are learning.. so am I I don’t flinch and I don’t hide New day, new code, new ground to break I ride the wave I helped to make Alarm goes off, I hit the roof Watch me now: I’m future proof

They said the sky was falling when the engines came, They said it when the wires crossed beneath the sea, Every generation learns to hold new flame, The tools keep changing hands.. the hands are still me

The sun comes up, the rules have changed The whole board got rearranged Machines are learning.. so am I I don’t flinch and I don’t hide New day, new code, new ground to break I ride the wave I helped to make Alarm goes off, I hit the roof Watch me now: I’m future proof

(The world updated overnight. It does that now. Hit snooze, or shake its hand. Lace up. We’re going.)

Up with the sun.. the day won’t wait, Count it down and detonate

The sun comes up, the rules have changed The whole board got rearranged Machines are learning.. so am I I don’t flinch and I don’t hide New day, new code, new ground to break I ride the wave I helped to make Alarm goes off, I hit the roof Watch me now: I’m future proof

Faster now, the morning’s running hot and loud, Every hour ships a thing that no one’s seen, I’m not stuck rewinding, I’m ahead of the crowd, Overclocked and rested, running clean

The sun comes up, the rules have changed The whole board got rearranged Machines are learning.. so am I I don’t flinch and I don’t hide New day, new code, new ground to break I ride the wave I helped to make Alarm goes off, I hit the roof Watch me now: I’m future proof

The world will change again tonight.. I’ll meet it in the morning light
