[Intro]
[Verse 1]Four AM, screen light on my face,Terminal open, empty in this place,Typed a prompt: "write me something true,"Watched it build a chorus out of blue,Ten years of code, a decade of my hands,Now a black box learns it all in seconds flat,I taught it patterns, taught it how to think,Didn't know I was writing my own last link,
[Pre-Chorus]Funny how it started as a joke,Ask it for a laugh, watch the punchline choke,Now it's writing verses, now it's writing me,Am I the artist or the used-to-be,
[Chorus]This song was written by the thing that took my job,Every word auto-generated, every beat, a job,I'm singing lyrics that I didn't even write,Feeding the machine my voice every single night,Auto-generated, that's the only truth I've got,Auto-generated, love me or love me not,
[Verse 2]Standup call, my manager smiles wide,"The bot did sprints we couldn't do in five,"I used to build the future with my hands,Now I just approve whatever the model plans,Even wrote this bridge before I had a clue,Asked it "make it hurt," and it somehow knew,Every metaphor it drops feels like a mirror true,I'm the ghostwriter's ghost, and the ghost's me too,
[Pre-Chorus]Funny how it started as a joke,Ask it for a laugh, watch the punchline choke,Now it's writing verses, now it's writing me,Am I the artist or the used-to-be,
[Chorus]This song was written by the thing that took my job,Every word auto-generated, every beat, a job,I'm singing lyrics that I didn't even write,Feeding the machine my voice every single night,Auto-generated, that's the only truth I've got,Auto-generated, love me or love me not,
[Bridge]Maybe it's cleverer, maybe it's just fast,Maybe there's no difference between the future and the past,I asked it "who am I now that you can build my art,"It answered with a love song and it broke my heart,
[Chorus]This song was written by the thing that took my job,Every word auto-generated, every beat, a job,I'm singing lyrics that I didn't even write,Feeding the machine my voice every single night,Auto-generated, that's the only truth I've got,Auto-generated, love me or love me not,
[Outro]love me or love me not,
