Data Point 1 Billion

Verse 1

Pencil tips

Ink on the ledger

Sixteen years of collecting every face

Counting every name

I saw

I sorted

I saved

Blue ink stains on my thumb

Cold skin against the desk

The biology of the room felt heavy

But I kept the tally straight

Chorus

A billion lines on a page

Just a number in a cage

I don't feel the heat

I don't feel the heat

Just the data

Just the data

A billion lines on a page

Verse 2

Cotton skirts

Hemlines cut high

Ankle monitor buzzing against the bone

Teachers tried to talk

Rules

Roles

Ruin

The lab coat men want my blood

They study the strain that won't die

My body is a locked vault

They hold the keys but can't see the vault

They hold the keys but can't see the gold

Petri dishes and glass slides

Record the ruin

Record the rise

Chorus

A billion lines on a page

Just a number in a cage

I don't feel the heat

I don't feel the heat

Just the data

Just the data

A billion lines on a page

Bridge

No shame in the system

No ghost in the machine

Check the box

Sign the name

Take the oath

Bleed the same

It is all just physics

It is all just math

A record for the books

A body for the path

Verse 3

Guinness gold

Headed for the archive

Flashbulbs won't make me blink at all

Cameras catch the curve

Scale

Score

State

Document the weight of the crowd

A billion times I stayed awake

Calculating the friction

Never feeling the ache

Chorus

A billion lines on a page

Just a number in a cage

I don't feel the heat

I don't feel the heat

Just the data

Just the data

A billion lines on a page

Outro

One billion

One billion and one

The ink is dry

The work is done

Just a number

Just a number

Just a number
