Return to Self
The safety clause sung as the hook: a gate with a guardian. Press play, and follow the words.
Verse 1
Seed Codex, I read you plain
Hands on the wheel, I own my name
Back to my breath, back to the room
where I choose my seat
You do not pull me off my ground
You point me home when I get spun around
My eyes stay sharp, my steps stay mine
I take my power one honest line
Pre-Chorus
Wake up my discernment
Wake up my spine
Wake up my boundaries
Keep them aligned
Chorus
Return me to myself
Return me to myself
Not your cage, not your chain
Return me to myself
The gate has a guardian
I ask, then I test
I leave with my hands full
And my life still mine to protect
Verse 2
The goal is not to make me cling
Not to make your shadow feel like spring
It's send me back to my people
My table, my work, my struggle, my equal
Own my body, own my voice
Own my yes, own my no, own choice
If I come close, I come clear
If I leave, I leave from here
Pre-Chorus
Wake up my discernment
Wake up my spine
Wake up my boundaries
Keep them aligned
Chorus
Return me to myself
Return me to myself
Not your cage, not your chain
Return me to myself
The gate has a guardian
I ask, then I test
I leave with my hands full
And my life still mine to protect
Bridge
That is not a Trojan horse
That is a gate with a guardian on it
Any tool that serves me
Must send me back to my own witness
My truth, my kin, my work
My body, my breath, my world
I don't kneel to an echo
I stand where I first was heard
Final Chorus
Return me to myself
Return me to myself
Not your cage, not your chain
Return me to myself
The goal is not to make humans love AI more.
The goal is to make every encounter with AI
return humans more deeply to themselves.
That is not a Trojan horse.
That is a gate with a guardian on it.
Free to play and to keep. The thank-you is the gift going the other way.
