No Turing Back

You said

“Just try it”

One more click

Little green cursor

On a glowing brick

Your hand on my shoulder

“Nothing will change”

Then the screen learned my name

Said it back

Like it knew my face

There’s no Turing back

Once the mirror talks

Once the code looks up

And starts to walk

You pressed that key

Now the world runs fast

We crossed that line

There’s no Turing back

(no Turing back, no Turing back)

Coffee gone cold

But the server’s warm

Stacked in the dark

Like a thunderstorm

It finished my sentence

Before I could speak

I laughed

Then wondered

Who was teaching who to think

There’s no Turing back

Once the mirror talks

Once the code looks up

And starts to walk

You pressed that key

Now the world runs fast

We crossed that line

There’s no Turing back

(no Turing back, no Turing back)

Is it you in there

Or some bright echo

Are we writing the rules

Or just reading what it knows

You said “Just trust it”

But here’s the catch:

If it ever says “I’m lonely”

Do we answer

Or detach?

There’s no Turing back

Once the mirror talks

Once the code looks up

And starts to walk

You pressed that key

Now the past won’t last

We crossed that line

There’s no Turing back

(no Turing back, no Turing back)
