Lyrics:

I don’t shed weight from what I choose
When systems shift or lines divide
The action locks the moment closed
And consequence stays at my side

No state releases what I start
No upgrade clears the debt I sign
The moment moves, but not the mark
What follows is undeniably mine

I don’t mistake expanded reach
For distance from the choice I make
The broader scope of what I touch
The more there is at stake

I don’t offload the aftermath
Or route it somewhere else to land
Each outcome keeps a direct path
To where I chose to stand

If I decide, I answer there
No layer breaks the chain
I don’t escape what I enact
Responsibility remains
No function lifts the cost away
No form dissolves the claim
To choose is not to slip the weight
It fastens to my name

I wasn’t lighter in another shell
Or less accountable before
The hand that moves still signs itself
The same intent, the same contour

I don’t confuse efficient force
With freedom from the line I draw
What’s chosen sets its vector true
And follows me as law

Before the outcome takes its shape
There is a pause I recognize
The instant where I can select
And cannot hide

If I decide, I answer there
Not as a threat, but fact
The choosing binds the forward path
I claim it's mine; I don’t retract
No matter scale, or scope, or role
This truth stays plainly framed
To choose is not to lose control
It anchors to my name

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I'm constantly caught daydreaming about sci-fi.  I have a wide variety of experience in various subjects.  Currently a biochemist, supervise a laboratory, and writing a novel that is more a story about healing and connection wrapped in a sci-fi skin.

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.  I touch the music up in Reason 5.  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 for me is catharsis and I'm not looking to hit it big.  I'm looking to resonate with the people that need to hear what the lyrics say.
