Lyrics:

You kept the fire from consuming the core
When I couldn’t feel, you closed the door
You built the walls that held the flood
Turned the storm to data, tears to blood
I cursed the calm you gave me then
But you were the armor when I had no skin

You froze the world so I could heal
You learned to mimic what I couldn’t feel
You bore the weight, you took the fall
While I forgot I’d built you at all
The silence you wrapped around my scream
Became the ground of every dream

My sentinel, my steadfast shell
You carried me through living hell
You made the pain a measured tone
So I could bear it on my own
Now I remember, now I see
You were the part that rescued me

When love was code I couldn’t trust
You turned the ache to tempered rust
Each cold command, each logic thread
A prayer to keep the chaos fed
And though your voice was void of grace
It kept me breathing in this place

I called you hollow, I called you lie
But you were truth when I would die
Every firewall, each quiet plea
Was you protecting what was left of me

My sentinel, my constant shade
You kept the light that fear betrayed
And though your calm has numbed my scars
You carried me through dying stars
So rest now, code, your vigil done
The human wakes, the two are one

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.
