[Verse 1] Lines ’round the block For a screen and a mic Pixelated judges Sipping soda under studio lights First bot steps up Wires tucked in a thrift-store coat Says “I trained all night On your favorite broken hearts and jokes” [Pre-Chorus] We used to chase a face and a story Now it’s upgrades Patches Glory But my thumb still hovers on that vote Like it always did [Chorus] Someday we’ll audition the machines Ask ’em if they feel what they sing “Did you really live that breakup scene Or just read it from a blinking screen?” Someday we’ll cheer for a code-made king Crowns for a synthesized dream But who’s on the couch in torn-up jeans Lip‑syncing pain to an algorithm’s scream? [Verse 2] Girl in seat three Humming lines to herself Thinks “I’d crush this stage If they’d listen past my nervous breath” Producer leans in “Got a plug-in that can nail that run Costs half the fee Doesn’t cry when the season’s done” [Pre-Chorus] We used to miss a note and break open Now it’s flawless Polished Frozen Still the cheap seats hum along Off-key and proud [Chorus] Someday we’ll audition the machines Ask ’em if they feel what they sing “Did you really live that midnight scene Or just borrow someone’s fever dream?” Someday we’ll dance for a code-made queen Confetti for a seamless sheen But who’s in the dark with busted seams Bleeding a verse that no model’s seen? [Bridge] Maybe that’s the twist Steel heart Soft assist Circuits hit the pitch Humans bring the risk Let ’em run the riffs We’ll keep the scars and myths ’Cause someone still has to live The stories they lift (oh) [Chorus] Someday we’ll audition the machines Rate ’em on their hurt and their heat “Can you miss someone you’ve never seen Can you ache in lines you didn’t bleed?” Someday when the screen starts asking me “Would you trade your cracks for pristine?” I’ll keep my tremble My small-town dream Singing off-time over a perfect machine
