NOTES

$ cat /releases/bad-habit/notes.txt # how this one came together

started as a loop in reaper — four bars, something with potential but no obvious path forward. ran it through the AI in different shapes until something came back that wasn't immediately disagreeable. that's the iteration loop these days: keep generating until you stop wincing. lyrics are mine, mostly — wrote the lines, let the AI handle the verse/chorus structure. arguing with yourself about song form for two hours when a tool does it in two minutes is a question of where you want the time to go.

01 Bad Habit
Same night
Same light
Same room
Again

Wake up in the wrong head
Coffee tastes like regret
Phone lights up, same thread
Said I'm done, yeah I said
Hands shake, still steady
Mind says no, body ready
Every promise already
Sounds dead when I said it

I don't fall
I repeat
I don't learn
I just need

Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Got me locked in the pattern
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Say I quit, then I grab it
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Got me locked in the pattern
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Say I quit, then I grab it
Bad habit

Mirror talks, I mute it
Know the rules, still do it
Every line I drew
I step right through it
Friends say slow down
I nod like I care
Same smile, same sound
Same lie in the air

I don't fall
I repeat
I don't learn
I just need

Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Got me locked in the pattern
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Say I quit, then I grab it
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Got me locked in the pattern
Bad habit
Bad habit
Bad habit
Say I quit, then I grab it
Bad habit

One more time
One more hit
One more night
Then I quit
One more time
One more hit
One more night

Then I
Then I
Then I
Then I
Then I
Again

Same night
Same light
Same room
Again
