Click When You See It

Keep your eye on the center light...
Keep your eye on the center light...

Patch on one eye, chin in a bowl
Big white dome, it's eating my soul
Hold the clicker, she said, don't stray
I've never been so stressed by a button in my day

Blip on the left. Click.
Blip up high. Click.
Long silence. Click.
That was nothing. I clicked at nothing. I panicked. Click.

Click when you see it, click, click
Little lights blinking, quick, quick
Staring at the middle like a sleepy kid
Did I see it? I think I did
Click when you see it, click, click

Heard a sound in the hallway, clicked for that
Clicked for a sneeze and a dream of my cat
Clicked to the beat of the music in my head
"Only when you see a light," the tech said

My eye wants to wander, sneak a peek around
Hunt the little lights before they're found
"Look at the center," the voice says, sweet
Fixation losses: I'm a total cheat

Click when you see it, click, click
Little lights blinking, quick, quick
Staring at the middle like a sleepy kid
Did I see it? I think I did
Click when you see it, click, click

Was that a light or a floater friend?
Am I asleep? Is this the end?
I dreamed I clicked, so I clicked for real
Honestly, the most relaxed I've felt all year

Click when you see it, click, click
Did I see it? I think I did
Click when you see it, click, click

"Great job! Now the other eye."
...Oh no.
