If you make your lines sequential music in one score (by adding {...} around
them, as a score can contain only one music expression) they'll all run
together continuously. You can add \break to force new lines, but then they
are stretched to the width of the page. You can then add ragged-right = ##t,
but you will still have an indent for the first (which can be set to zero); you
will also have the time signature repeated at the end of each line - which I'm
sure can be turned off, though I can't recall the details.
It seems you'd be better off putting a \score block round each line, if you
want each line to remain independent.

\score basically expects just one "music". You are providing many
"musics". The question is how you want to handle it.
Normally, we have simultaneous music where the parts are meant to run in
parallel. But you can also do sequential music.
So, this means your \score block should have one of these two patterns:
%%%%
\score {
<<
...simultaneous music...
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
%%%%
\score {
{
...sequential music...
}
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
%%%%
