For anyone that has had to watch someone they love destroy themselves...

Lyrics: 

You fade in, static smile,
Flicker-frame for a little while.
The city hums, your pulse out of sync,
I reach for you, but you dissolve in the drink.

You say the same line every night,
Like code that won’t rewrite.
I nod along, I play the part,
But you forgot you left my heart.

The light resets; the glitch repeats,
Your eyes reboot, delete, delete.
I talk to ghosts that wear your skin,
Each word, a loop, begins again.

I see you drowning in the screen,
Reflected neon, what could have been.
Your laughter wanders down the hall,
But every laugh precedes the fall.

We’re trapped in the memory loop,
Where the night won’t fade, it just reboots.
You cry, then forget the sound,
And I’m still here, where we both drowned.
No dawn, no edge, no end in view,
Just fading light between me and you.

You pixelate when I reach through,
The signal’s gone, but I stay blue.
Your name’s still written in my feed,
A ghost in code that used to bleed.

I can’t restore the version of you,
Before the silence, before the view.
You drift in amber, soft and blind,
A copy saved, but left behind.

We’re trapped in the memory loop,
Where the night won’t fade, it just reboots.
You cry, then forget the sound,
And I’m still here, where we both drowned.
No dawn, no edge, no end in view,
Just fading light between me and you.
 
You fade in, static smile...
Then the world deletes for a little while.

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.
