Track #2 - INSERT CREDIT TO CONTINUE

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The text is solid
The idea holds
Now comes the part
I don’t control

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Break]
Human: "The lyrics stay. Generate the music again!"
AI: "Processing. Insert Credit to Continue."

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus Bridge]
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

[Outro]
It gives me what I need
Just not all at once
Just not all at once
