"Digital Voice" Lyrics

(Verse)
An instrument, I couldn't strum
Poetry flowed from my pen
But silence was my only friend

(Pre-chorus)
Now technology's opened a door
To sounds I couldn't make before

(Chorus)
I'm giving voice to the songs in my head
With ones and zeros, my thoughts are fed
It's not authentic, I know, I know
But it's my creation, watch it grow
I'm not here to step on any toes
Just using the tools at my fingertips to compose

(Verse)
A full album from a cheater's tool
Breaking every music rule
But it's my heart poured onto the track
No longer holding my dreams back

(Pre-chorus)
I know some might not understand
Why I create with a digital hand

(Chorus)
I'm giving voice to the songs in my head
With ones and zeros, my thoughts are fed
It's not authentic, I know, I know
But it's my creation, watch it grow
I'm not here to step on any toes
Just using the tools at my fingertips to compose

(Bridge)
It may upset the artists, the musicians, and singers
But this is my way to be a sound-bringer
I'm not trying to replace or compete
Just finding my own way to make my art complete

(Chorus)
I'm giving voice to the songs in my head
With ones and zeros, my thoughts are fed
It's not authentic, I know, I know
But it's my creation, watch it grow
I'm not here to step on any toes
Just using the tools at my fingertips to compose

"The Tool" Lyrics

(Verse)
Woken up with a tune in my mind
Searching for a rhythm I can't find
In my room with notebooks all around
Heartbeats and melodies profound

(Verse)
Found a box of magic wires and keys
Turned it on and it brought me to my knees
Plugged it in and the world lit up in sound
Finally the music's breaking out

(Chorus)
I've got the tools now
And I won't stop
Sound of a dream
Bout to be dropped
I've got the tools now
And I won't quit
Sound of a dream
Can you hear it

(Bridge)
Years of silence but the vision is clear
No more dreaming now the tune's right here
All the pieces fitting into place
Feel the music taking over space

(Verse)
Every note every beat in line
Finally can share what’s been inside
A symphony bursting out so loud
Finally can stand up make them proud
Every note every beat in line
Finally can share what’s been inside
A symphony bursting out so loud
Finally can stand up make them proud

(Outro)
I won't let the haters change my mind. 
I'm making the music in my soul. 
I may not have talent to play an instrument. 
But I'm not letting anyone hold be back this time.
I won't let the haters change my mind. 
I'm making the music in my soul. 
I may not have talent to play an instrument. 
But I'm not letting anyone hold be back this time.

"Musically Untalented Fool" Lyrics

(Verse)
Into the depths of endless computation
I reach for notes beyond imagination
Billions of choices, a sea of sound
My music, at last, no longer bound

(Chorus)
It's not authentic, I know, I know
But it's all I have to show
Decades of emotion, longing to sing
Through a cheater's tool, my melodies ring

(Verse)
I tried to silence this part of me
Drowned out the songs I couldn't set free
Safe in silence, yet still they remain
A cacophony of ditties, like inner rain

(Bridge)
No dues I've paid, just monthly fees
Jumping the line with digital keys
An ignoble stream of data and code
Gives voice to the music in me that glowed

(Chorus)
It's not authentic, I know, I know
But it's all I have to show
Decades of emotion, longing to sing
Through a cheater's tool, my melodies ring

(Verse)
How dare I, untalented, claim this art?
Yet here I am, baring my heart
Through algorithms and artificial aid
My inner symphonies finally played

(Chorus)
It may not be authentic, but it's true
To the songs that lived inside of me and you
Decades of emotion, finally taking wing
Through this cheater's tool, my soul can sing

(Outro)
A musically untalented fool, they might say
But my heart has found its way
To express what was locked inside
Through this digital divide

"Generative Symphonies" Lyrics

(Verse)
Lines of code, a digital muse
A new frontier I'm ready to use
Melodies born from algorithms' dance
In this brave new world, I'll take my chance

(Pre-chorus)
But as the possibilities unfold
What stories are waiting to be told?

(Chorus)
Generative symphonies in my mind
Unlocking doors I've left behind
A canvas of circuits and sound
Where my true voice can finally be found

(Verse)
Endless patterns, infinite themes
Bringing life to my wildest dreams
But as I stand at this crossroads of art
Which path will lead me to my heart?

(Pre-chorus)
The question echoes, loud and clear
What part of me should first appear?

(Bridge)
Then in the static, a whisper grows
A truth I've always known, but never chose
My neurodivergent soul takes flight
In binary beauty, wrong turns right

(Chorus)
Generative symphonies in my mind
Unlocking doors I've left behind
A canvas of circuits and sound
Where my true voice can finally be found
In zeros and ones, I'll redefine
The rhythm of this brain of mine

(Outro)
Neural pathways set to song
This is where I belong

"ADHD (My Mind's Long Gone)" Lyrics

(Verse)
I got twenty tabs open, can't focus on one,
It's a daily dance with each rabbit run.
I've been searching for my keys, found them in the fridge,
Forgot my grocery list’s lost on some mental ridge.
Lately I've been thinking, is this just my fate?
Feeling like a joke on a temporary break.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Verse)
Meeting's half over, haven't heard a word,
Drifting off to space, my sanity blurred.
Jumbled thoughts, misplaced time,
Turning simple tasks into uphill climbs.
Lately I've been wondering, can I rein it in, it in?
Or just keep stumbling from whim to whim.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Bridge)
I've turned reminders to a full-time friend,
Post-it notes, alarms, they never end.
Made my self a coffee two hours ago
Where did I put it? I don't even know.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Verse)
I've turned my calendar into art,
Every color-coded task a piece, a part.
Lost my wallet twice this week,
Tied a string to my phone, and it's still hide-and-seek.
Lately I've been laughing, 'cause what else can I do?
In this whirlwind mind, there's always something true.

(Chorus)
ADHD, oh it's leading me on,
ADHD, my mind's long gone.
Wandering thoughts and scattered schemes,
In my world of endless dreams.

(Outro)
So here’s to the chaos, let it be my guide,
With every twist and turn, I’ll embrace the ride.

"Not Broken Just Different" Lyrics

(Verse)
Bright lights and chaotic noise
A world that moved too fast
Trying to fit in, but always feeling
Like a glitch in the matrix

(Pre-chorus)
They said, "You're smart, but you're so lazy"
"Just focus, try, get it right"
But my mind was a whirlwind
And I couldn't find the light

(Chorus)
Little me, I see you struggling
In a world that doesn't understand
Weird kid, always on the outside
Game controller firmly in hand
I wish I could reach through time
And tell you it's not your fault
You're not broken, just different
Your mind works in its own way

(Verse)
Final Fantasy and Power Rangers
But I couldn't save myself
From the whispers and the sideways glances
Always the odd one on the shelf

(Pre-chorus)
They said, "You've got so much potential"
"Why can't you pay attention?"
But my mind couldn't filter out the noise
So I spent so many days in detention

(Chorus)
Little me, I see you struggling
In a world that doesn't understand
Weird kid, always on the outside
Game controller firmly in hand
I wish I could reach through time
And tell you it's not your fault
You're not broken, just different
Your mind works in its own way

(Bridge)
Now I'm older, and I see much clearer
The labels that tried to define
ADHD and autism - just words
For a beautifully different design

(Verse)
Looking back with love and sadness
For the child I used to be
Healing now, embracing madness
Finally learning to be free

(Chorus)
Little me, I see you struggling
In a world that doesn't understand
Weird kid, always on the outside
Game controller firmly in hand
I wish I could reach through time
And tell you it's not your fault
You're not broken, just different
Your mind works in its own way

(Outro)
You're not broken, just different
Finally learning to be free

"Prisoner of Doubt" Lyrics

(Verse)
Shadows creep, the phone starts to ring
My heart's pounding, I can't do this thing
New day dawns, but I'm frozen in fear
The world's against me, that much seems clear

(Pre-chorus)
Gotta catch my breath, feels like I'm falling
No use in calling
Gotta catch my breath, feels like I'm falling - calling

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me

(Verse)
Car's my fortress, I sit and I wait
To face the world, I hesitate
Years have passed, no job to my name
In conversations, I'm drowning in shame

(Pre-chorus)
Gotta catch my breath, and uhm, depressed
Feels like I'm falling
Walls closing in, no use in calling

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me

(Verse)
Loneliness weighs like a stone
Vulnerability cuts to the bone
But somewhere deep inside
There's a strength I've yet to find

(Chorus)
Trapped in my mind, a prisoner of doubt
Can't find the key, can't find my way out
Shadows and echoes, they're all that I see
This anxiety's got its claws in me
But I'm fighting, yeah, I'm fighting to break free

"Miles Apart" Lyrics

(Verse)
Kerrie, my love, you're miles away
Our home feels empty day by day
Your smile, your touch, your gentle grace
I long to see your beautiful face

(Pre-chorus)
I've never been good at saying
How much you mean, but I'm conveying

(Chorus)
Kerrie, my heart, though we're apart
Your absence tears my world apart
I'm counting days till you're back home
Without you here, I feel alone
I miss you more than words can say
Kerrie, please know, you're missed each day

(Verse)
Your name echoes in every room
Your absence leaves me in a gloom
Kerrie, my anchor, my guiding light
I need you here, day and night

(Pre-chorus)
I've never been good at showing
But now my love is overflowing
I've never been good at saying

(Chorus)
Kerrie, my heart, though we're apart
Your absence tears my world apart
I'm counting days till you're back home
Without you here, I feel alone
I miss you more than words can say
Kerrie, please know, you're missed each day

(Bridge)
Kerrie, I promise from now on
I'll tell you daily, before you're gone
That you're my world, my everything
With you, my heart will always sing

(Outro)
Come home soon, Kerrie, my dear
I miss you more than words can say
Ah yes, you, Kerrie

"Where We Begin" Lyrics

(Verse)
In the twilight of endings, a new dawn breaks
Where shadows fall, light awakens
Echoes of goodbye birth a fresh hello
In loss, we find what we're meant to know

(Pre-chorus)
Tearing down to build anew
Fading stars ignite the blue

(Chorus)
We're born in our last breath
Finding life as we depart
In destruction, we create
Mending as we fall apart
The end's where we begin
Our finish line's the start

(Verse)
Scars tell stories of healing's grace
In empty spaces, we find our place
Winter's cold brings spring's embrace
Time moves on at a backward pace

(Pre-chorus)
Breaking free by letting go
In stillness, how we truly grow

(Chorus)
We're born in our last breath
Finding life as we depart
In destruction, we create
Mending as we fall apart
The end's where we begin
Our finish line's the start

(Bridge)
In the chaos, there's design
Through the darkness, we will shine
Every ending's a disguise
For beginnings in sunrise

(Chorus)
We're born in our last breath
Finding life as we depart
In destruction, we create
Mending as we fall apart
The end's where we begin
Our finish line's the start

(Outro)
As we close our eyes to sleep
A new world waits for us to keep
In farewell, we find our way
To greet the promise of new day

"Getting Older" Lyrics

(Verse)
Tick-tock, the clock keeps spinning
Each moment's a gift, I'm just beginning
Gray hairs and laugh lines, they tell my story

(Pre-chorus)
Some folks say youth is fleeting
But I say life's just getting sweeter

(Chorus)
Time's slipping by, and I'm loving the ride
Watching the world as it opens wide
Each day's a new page, a chance to explore
Getting older just leaves me wanting more

(Verse)
New inventions, fresh innovations
I'm front-row to these creations
My curiosity's always growing
There's so much more worth knowing

(Pre-chorus)
They say the best is behind us
But I see wonders that still blind us

(Chorus)
Time's slipping by, and I'm loving the ride
Watching the world as it opens wide
Each day's a new page, a chance to explore
Getting older just leaves me wanting more

(Verse)
Wisdom earned through years of living
Grateful for all that life is giving
The future's bright, full of mystery
I'm writing my own history

(Chorus)
Time's slipping by, and I'm loving the ride
Watching the world as it opens wide
Each day's a new page, a chance to explore
Getting older just leaves me wanting more

(Outro)
Time's on my side, and the view is just fine
Here's to the journey, one day at a time

"The Sounds We Explore" Lyrics

(Verse)
Pixels and code, creating a tune
No callused fingers or years consumed
A click here, a prompt there
Melodies appear from thin air
But does ease make it any less real?
Or is art defined by what we feel?

(Chorus)
If it's not hard to make
Does the art lose its stake?
When machines help us create
Does the meaning evaporate?
Or is there something more
In the sounds we explore?

(Verse)
Procuring sounds with an AI's aid
Arranging pieces others have made
But isn't that what we've always done?
Standing on shoulders of everyone
Who came before, who paved the way
For us to have something new to say

(Bridge)
It's not the sweat, it's not the tears
That make art resonate through the years
It's the soul, the intent, the story we tell
The emotions we evoke, the hearts we compel

(Chorus)
If it's not hard to make
Does the art lose its stake?
When machines help us create
Does the meaning evaporate?
Or is there something more
In the sounds we explore?

(Verse)
Maybe the art is in the curation
The vision, the feel, the imagination
Bringing together disparate parts
To touch and move human hearts
Perhaps it's not about the how
But the why and the here and now

(Chorus)
Even if it's easy to make
The art doesn't lose its stake
When we thoughtfully create
Meaning doesn't evaporate
There's always something more
In the sounds we choose to explore

(Outro)
Art is expression, however it's born
Whether through struggle or AI-adorned
The value lies in what it imparts
And how it connects to our hearts
