Leave Something Strange

PLEASE LEAVE SOMETHING STRANGE IN US

[Verse 1]
Perfect sentences arrive now
Perfect pictures fill the screen
Perfect voices sing the chorus
Cleaner than I’ve ever been

Everything gets optimized
Sharper, faster, more precise
And I wonder if perfection
Might be something like a vice

[Chorus]
Please leave something strange in us
Something crooked
Something rough
Something no machine would choose
Because it doesn’t make enough sense

Leave the awkward little pauses
Leave the scars inside the art
If intelligence keeps growing
Please leave chaos in the heart

[Verse 2]
I adore these new machines
For giving shape to what I feel
Ideas trapped inside me
Suddenly become something real

But I don’t want every rough edge
Polished smooth until it shines
I don’t want predictive systems
Choosing every road of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Surprise me
Confuse me
Let me make the stupid choice
Let me ruin perfect silence
With an unnecessary voice

[Chorus]
Please leave something strange in us
Something wasteful
Something wild
Something that spends twenty years
Chasing dreams that make no sense

Leave obsession
Leave rebellion
Leave the need to ask “what if?”
If machines become astonishing
Leave us reasons just to live

[Bridge]
Maybe they will write symphonies
Maybe they’ll discover stars
Maybe they will solve the questions
We’ve been carrying this far

Then I’ll ask the oldest question
With no measurable reply:
What do you do with all this knowledge
When you still don’t know why?

[Final Chorus]
Please leave something strange in us
Not superior
Just alive
Let tomorrow grow enormous
Without shrinking what’s inside

I will welcome every wonder
I will question every cost
And I’ll keep a little weirdness
For the things that can’t be solved
