[Verse 1] (Male) Back in February, twenty twenty-five, they shuffled a server, forgot the deadbolt stayed alive, sixteen months it sat there, naked on the wire, no alarm, no flashlight, nobody caught the fire, DigiCert's the name that stamps your padlock seal, certs still standing — that part of the story's real. [Verse 2] (Female) Five short days, June twenty-seven through July two, a ghost account went wandering the archive, quiet, through, reading, only reading, never left a scratch of harm, scooped up contact details, a passport, a license form, just a pocketful from a cabinet filed deep, no number given — "small proportion" is the line they keep. [Chorus] Read-only eyes in the archive hall, certs untouched, so don't let that fall, but sixteen months with the door left wide, ask who saw it, ask why they'd hide. Read-only eyes, read-only eyes, counting passports behind closed ties. [Verse 3] (Male) A researcher tapped the glass on June twenty-one, flagged the gap wide open before the damage spun, July second, they bolted it, slammed the whole thing tight, didn't confirm it's fixed till October nineteenth night, four quiet months between the catch and the call, Aviatrix is murmuring: GDPR might crawl, CCPA and all. [Verse 4] (Female) November sixth, two checklist boxes due, sweep for open windows, flag who logs in new, no word if they finished, no stamp, no final sign, still combing through the passports, review line by line, once it's done they'll mail you — that's the promise they made, watch your box for letters, watch if regulators raid. [Chorus] Read-only eyes in the archive hall, certs untouched, so don't let that fall, but sixteen months with the door left wide, ask who saw it, ask why they'd hide. Read-only eyes, read-only eyes, counting passports behind closed ties. [Verse 5] (Male & Female) They'll tell you trust is built on math and keys, on root chains stretching back through centuries, but trust ain't only ciphers, trust is eyes that watch the door, sixteen months of silence, that's a trust you can't restore, the lawyers write it soft, "a small subset," they phrase, but every name's a person counting all their sleepless days, so when they say read-only, ask what reading costs, a passport scanned in silence still can leave somebody lost. [Bridge] No head count, just "a few," they say, read-only doesn't erase the day, sixteen months a window stayed undone — the seal's intact, but the trust is spun thin, almost gone. [Outro] Check your archive, check your floor, a locked front gate don't mean much more if the back one's open on the stone — DigiCert's learning that, slow, on its own. [Chorus] Read-only eyes in the archive hall, certs untouched, so don't let that fall, but sixteen months with the door left wide, ask who saw it, ask why they'd hide. Read-only eyes, read-only eyes, counting passports behind closed ties, counting passports behind closed ties.
