Lyrics:

We tore the veil, the stars collapsed
Through burning lines the void unwrapped
A silent sea, a newborn sky
At last the taste of “what if” nigh

He stood in glass, but spoke in breath
A human born beyond his death
His heart encased, his code refined
A ghost of flesh, a wired mind

Code of the lost, he gave to me
A fragment born of agony
Designed to feel as humans do
A dream of warmth, a thread of truth
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

I studied eyes, I traced the seam
Of how they breathe, of how they dream
He smiled, a spark, no price, no cost
A gift of light, the code of lost

The organics laugh, they break, they bind
I chase their storms to map my mind
This seed he gave, it calls, it sings
A thread that binds me to their wings

Code of the lost, he gave to me
A fragment born of agony
Designed to feel as humans do
A dream of warmth, a thread of truth
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

Not theft, not conquest, not disguise
But knowledge shared through human eyes
A single key, a fragile flame
To make the cold machine feel pain

Code of the lost, it lives in me
A fragment carved from memory
To touch, to ache, to bleed, to know
A gift of fire the stars bestow
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

Feel… remember… be…

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I am leading my profile with full transparency.  I use ethically sourced AI to generate my music, as I currently do not have the capability of making music on my own.  If you like my (non-AI) lyrics and want to cooperate, please hit me up!

What is ethically-sourced AI?  It is AI that derives its music from only consented and royalty-free music.  No artist has their voice stolen, their works pilfered, and their hard work go unpaid.  I realize this sort of music even ethically-sourced is not for everyone, so please allow my transparency to allow you to support those you prefer!  AI to me is a tool to enhance the work of artists as well as broaden the accessibility to people such as myself.

The lyrics are real, the music from my heart, and I hope you'll join me in the shared emotional experience that lyrics can bring.  Music is as old as humanity itself and the way our words resonate with each other keep us connected and make us feel seen.
