There's a camera on the wall

It's turned off right now

I don't pay it any mind as I go about my day

Lessons, housework, leisure

Watched over by an eye that isn't actually watching

But it could be

If I wanted it to

There's a camera on the wall

It'll only be on if I turn it on

And I haven't, in years

I don't need to be seen these days

I've shown quite enough of myself and never got much in return

I don't need privacy

But it's nice

There's a camera on the wall

If I really wanted to I could break it

But I don't think I will

After all, why bother?

I'm plenty safe already, all I have to do is not turn it on

And besides that

I'd get lonely

There's a camera on the wall

It's not going anywhere
