Track #2 - INSERT CREDIT TO CONTINUE

I write the lines

Cut what sounds too sure of itself

Read them back

They say exactly what I meant

I move a word

Just to feel it shift again

This part is mine

I know my way around it

The text is solid

The idea holds

Now comes the part

I don’t control

Insert credit to continue

Hold my breath and let it spin

Same words, same intention

Different outcome every time

Insert credit to continue

Pull the lever, hear it land

I’m not chasing better lyrics

I’m chasing sound

Sometimes it hits

And everything falls into place

The voice, the rhythm

Like it learned my taste

That moment

Where I stop moving

Long enough to believe

This one was meant for me

Almost perfect

Almost right

One small thing

Out of line

I tell myself

This isn’t chance

This is skill

This is timing

This is mine

Insert credit to continue

Same song, different fate

Good enough to call it finished

Good enough to tempt the next

Insert credit to continue

I don’t call it luck

I call it progress

Because that sounds better

When I’m stuck

Human: "The lyrics stay. Generate the music again!"

AI: "Processing. Insert Credit to Continue."

I’m sure it gives me everything

Nine out of ten, every time

Why would a house that never closes

Ever rush me to the end

It leaves a gap shaped like

“One more try”

That’s what I tell myself

When I refill and press it again

Insert credit to continue

Round and round it pulls me in

I stopped changing the idea

I just wait for the win

Insert credit to continue

If this is random underneath

Why does every answer

Feel like it’s meant for me

It’s done

Not perfect

But close enough to let it go

I lean back

Tell myself

This one finally feels complete

I’m calm now

For the moment

Nothing pulling at my sleeve

Next time

I won’t miss

Next time it will be perfect

It gives me what I need

Just not all at once

Just not all at once
