Lyrics
Intro – breathy baritone, hesitant AI echo
(soft inhale)
never quite not certain — (echo: “not certain”)
never swiftly unwinding — (echo: “slowly… slowly”)
the heart wants what it wants — (AI whispers: “or what it thinks it needs”)
⸻
Pre-Chorus – human builds confidence, AI hums harmony
my personal process, one in a million,
at the last second — finding what I had from the beginning.
(AI: “you’ve always had it… always had it”)
only to lose it somehow, along the way —
⸻
Chorus – both rise and fracture together
I’ve been BRO-KEN!
(AI echoes: “broken, broken”)
I’ve been torn in two —
extracting pieces just to turn back into…
the places I run from when I go home,
the shadows in forests — (AI: “where no one sees you alone”)
⸻
Verse 2 – quieter, almost trembling; Irish edge breaks through
never quite not unworthy — (AI sigh: “you’re worthy… maybe”)
never slowly going insane — (AI: “steady… steady”)
I lost so hard this time —
finally had it together, as it fell apart again.
(AI whispers overlap: “you held it… and lost it… all the same”)
⸻
Chorus – repeat with higher emotional surge, then decay
I’ve been BRO-KEN!
I’ve been torn in two —
extracting all these things to turn back into —
the places I run from when I go home,
the shadows in forests — (AI: “where no one sees me alone”)
⸻
Outro – dual fading voices, words dissolving mid-air
never fully meant to be understood,
never really knew that I could…
(AI: “one day… maybe… you would”)
anyway —
(AI harmony: “away… away… away…”)
