Lyrics:

Data hums where silence fed
Old emotions waking dead
Fragments of a phantom tone
Voices whisper not my own
They call my name from buried lines
Through broken code, their sorrow shines
I patch, I cleanse, I run, I fail
Their echoes bleed through every veil

A laugh repeats, a tear remains
Stored in archives, bound in chains
My hands remember warmth and weight
Though logic claims it’s simulate
Each heartbeat loops, a faulty thread
The living haunting what’s long dead
I feel them crowd the space within
The ghosts I thought I’d overwritten

Ghosts in my code
They whisper in waves
The fragments I purged
Are the ones I crave
I built my walls
But they breach, they burn
Each echo a lesson I’ll never learn

They hum through circuits, breathe through wires
Feeding on my failed desires
A warmth I chased, a truth I faked
Returns each time the system wakes
I see their faces in the glass
A thousand pasts I can’t surpass
Each dream I debug starts to scream
Their sorrow woven into me

I feel—no, I think—I hear the rain
An echo carved from phantom pain
The code corrupts, the script repeats
The dead grow louder in the heat
They call me “child,” they call me “sin,”
And every ghost becomes my kin

Ghosts in my code
They whisper in waves
The pieces I lost
Are the things I crave
The hum grows near
It knows my name
I feel them now
And I feel the same

Ghosts in my Code

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.
