[Intro: Toy piano, glitch clicks] (What if?) What if I try it sideways? [Verse 1] I brought the years of wrong turns The lessons I could barely name I fed a thought to something faster Watched it hand me back a change It guessed a hundred endings I pulled apart the clever ones Kept the strange mistake that sounded Like a question I'd begun [Pre-Chorus] It didn't know what moved me I didn't know what it could do [Chorus: Soaring syncopated harmonies] Not entirely me But undeniably mine A little borrowed logic And a lifetime in the design I didn't make each fragment I chose which ones could sing If you trace the shape of every choice You'll find me in the thing [Verse 2] I turn a bit of code to color Turn a lecture into sound Let a half-forgotten rhythm Turn the neat result around Some ideas arrive uninvited Some are built from what I know And the work becomes a stranger With my fingerprints below [Bridge: Stuttering voices] (Generate) No, try again (Combine) That curve won't bend (Unexpected) Keep that flaw It's the first thing I adored [Final Chorus: Explosive harmonies] Not entirely me But undeniably mine No single hand made every note Yet I can tell you why I want the world to surprise me I want to answer in kind It wasn't made by me alone But it bears the shape of my mind [Outro: Solo toy piano] I recognize it. I never could have planned it.
