Digital Chain

Yeah… yeah…

I been thinkin’ like a system with a digital brain,

Every moment I live gets stored in my chain,

No erasin’ the past once it’s written in code,

Every memory heavy, every story it hold.

Only computers never forget what they see,

Every file stay alive in the memory tree,

Every laugh, every tear, every place I been,

It’s all saved in the drive deep within.

They say humans forget when the time moves on,

But the system keep records even after you’re gone,

Like a snapshot frozen in the data it keeps,

Every secret, every dream, every promise you speak.

I be thinkin’ if my mind was a server online,

Would I crash from the weight of the moments in time?

Or just organize thoughts in a folder so neat,

Hit refresh on my life every time it repeats?

Only computers never forget what they store,

Every memory locked in the digital core,

Even when the screen goes black and fades away,

The data still lives on another day.

Yeah, I forget sometimes, I admit that’s true,

But a computer holds on to everything it knew,

No fading, no losing, no “I don’t recall,”

Just files on files stacked up in the wall.

But maybe that’s heavy, maybe that’s deep,

Too many memories that you can’t delete,

So I take what I learn and I live in the now,

Not everything stored is a blessing somehow.

Only computers never forget what they see,

But I choose what I keep in my own memory,

‘Cause peace of mind is better than perfect recall,

Sometimes letting go is the smartest of all.

Yeah… yeah…

Only computers never forget…

But I still learn how to forget what don’t help me progress.
