Intro
Disclosure: assisted composition detected. Source: one tired human, 3:17 a.m. Ctrl-S. Click. Load. Breathe.
Verse 1
Dear future fan, cracked phone on the last train home, I made this in a closet where the blue screens owned the room. Foam peeling, fan coughing, clear drive by the overdue bill, If your jaw unclenched, that was me choosing what to keep still.
Pre-chorus
If your chest moved before you asked how, does the feeling shrink when I say it out loud?
Chorus
Count the clicks, scan the code, I’m still the one who says no. Human in the edit, pulse in the prose, machine made a mirror; I decide what shows. Keep, cut, no, keep, cut, no, blood on the keys, 305 rain on the road.
Verse 2
Dear past me, purist jaw, Bible of rules, you called help a stain, called struggle school. Rent hit red at 12:04, burnout face-down by the door, purity got quiet when the late fee asked for more.
Pre-chorus
If the room was real and the pressure was loud, does the feeling shrink when I name the tool out loud?
Chorus
Count the clicks, scan the code, I’m still the one who says no. Human in the edit, pulse in the prose, machine made a mirror; I decide what shows. Keep, cut, no, keep, cut, no, blood on the keys, 305 rain on the road.
Verse 3
Dear machine, bright guess, polite little thief, half thank-you, half back up, you keep touching my grief. I traded five drafts for a faster bounce and a cheaper mile, You can finish a line; you can’t mean 954 rain in the file.
Bridge
Keep, keep, cut, no, render—render—ghost. I am not a template, not the cursor’s proof. I choose what survives when the cursor moves.
Verse 4
The art is the verdict, ugly red pen, the word I delete though it almost wins. Tools never sat in that fluorescent room when my name got read wrong, I keep the one detail that embarrasses the song.
Pre-chorus
If the cut hit harder than the first draft did, tell me which one was the counterfeit?
Chorus
Count the clicks, scan the code, I’m still the one who says no. Human in the edit, pulse in the prose, machine made a mirror; I decide what shows. Keep, cut, no, keep, cut, no, blood on the keys, 305 rain on the road.
Verse 5
Dear judge with a comment and a clean little test, here are the folders, false starts, prompts I left. Clear thumb drive taped to a rent-letter crease, specific feeling outlives the purity police.
Pre-chorus
If you felt it first, then learned the route, did the truth get smaller when the tool came out?
Chorus
Count the clicks, scan the code, I’m still the one who says no. Human in the edit, pulse in the prose, machine made a mirror; I decide what shows. Keep, cut, no, keep, cut, no, human verdict saved, then the whole room goes cold.
