Lyrics:

Sticks and stones and
Words I don't
Mean to say
At least not today
And so what
If you cry
Can't I
Make you smile
Once in a while
Or is it all the things we say

Love is a vicious cycle
That makes me wish I'd never met you
But it feels like dying when I don't see you
Ohh
Love is a vicious cycle
That makes me wish I'd never met you
But it feels like dying when I don't see you
Ohh

I swear I don't
Hate you at all
I'm just a little bitter
Because of my broken heart
But it's not your fault
But if you ever
Leave me
Please know
You will
Regret it
Because there will be a day
You remember all the things we say

Love is a vicious cycle
That makes me wish I'd never met you
But it feels like dying when I don't see you
Ohh
Love is a vicious cycle
That makes me wish I'd never met you
But it feels like dying when I don't see you
Ohh

🎧Love is a vicious cycle

a schizophrenic clash of distorted guitars, electronica and raw introspective lyrics that is sometimes intimate and ethereal but other times bold and anthemic where hope is locked in an eternal struggle with the darkness surrounding us. Real life meets cosmic horror 

The Rise of the Fallen

Krispy Kreme Dream

What You Refuse to See

Wrap Me In Twilight

Veil of Emptiness

Temporal Shift

[Verse 1]
Your voice still sleeps in the corners of this room
Fading like the sun in the late afternoon
I reach for a hand that’s not coming back
Still feel your shadow pressing in the cracks
And I hate that I still find comfort in the pain
Like a song I can’t forget, playing in the rain

[Chorus]
You broke me, but I’m breaking more alone
Silence feels heavier than the storms we owned
I thought freedom would open up the air
But it’s cold and you’re not there
I’m drifting in the calm I wanted so bad
God, I miss the chaos we had

[Verse 2]
Your eyes were oceans that pulled me too deep
And I let myself drown just to hear you speak
Every lie was a light I still followed through
Even knowing it would burn, I’d come back to you
And now the walls hum with the ghost of your breath
Every night’s just a quieter death

[Chorus]
You broke me, but I’m breaking more alone
Silence feels heavier than the storms we owned
I thought freedom would open up the air
But it’s cold and you’re not there
I’m drifting in the calm I wanted so bad
God, I miss the chaos we had

[Bridge]
If you called, I would run through the dark again
Even knowing where the road would end
Better your fire than this frozen sky
Better your arms than saying goodbye

[Chorus]
You broke me, but I’m breaking more alone
Silence feels heavier than the storms we owned
I thought freedom would open up the air
But it’s cold and you’re not there
I’m drifting in the calm I wanted so bad
God, I miss the chaos we had

[Outro]
Your voice still sleeps in the corners of this room
Fading like the sun in the late afternoon

I Miss The Chaos

Across The Line

Ghosts Of Venice

Had It Coming



REACH is a new all-original metal band making waves on SoundCloud, delivering a sound deeply rooted in the traditions of classic metal and hard rock. The band's music has a dynamic and solid feel, drawing strong comparisons to the iconic sound of Van Halen. Their songs were written by Laurence Mehlhorn of Century One Records, the label responsible for producing the debut record. With a powerful guitar-driven sound, the band aims to capture the energy and innovation of a bygone era while forging a new identity.

As of August 2025, REACH is in the process of auditioning new members for a tour, indicating a strong commitment to taking their music from the studio to the stage. This next phase will allow the band to showcase their dynamic sound in a live setting.

Given the musical direction you've described, with a focus on a dynamic sound and classic hard rock influence, the band's material is likely crafted to avoid harsh or raspy tones, prioritizing instead a clear, powerful, and energetic delivery.

NOT HOLDEN BACK

DIE WITH MY BOOTS ON is a raw fusion of country grit and metal fury — a tribute to the working hands, the scarred souls, and the stubborn ones who refuse to quit. This isn’t a ballad, it’s a battle cry. It’s sweat, steel, and six strings screaming into the night.

For the dreamers who grind, the workers who bleed, and the fighters who’ll take their last breath standing tall — boots on, head high, never broken.

Turn it up. Break something. Live louder.

Boots On, Heart Open

Die With My Boots On

DIE WITH MY BOOTS ON

Any Kind of Love is a quiet, powerful tribute to imperfect connection — a collection of songs that embrace the beauty in brokenness, the strength in vulnerability, and the hope that flickers even in the darkest places.

Blending emotional lyricism with raw, intimate melodies, the album speaks to the unspoken—grief, longing, healing, and the courage it takes to be seen. These are anthems for the wounded heart, for those who still believe that love, in any form, is proof we’re alive.

Even cracked. Even scarred. Still love.

Fade To Black

Alive

I've been producing music for a while but never put it online before. I'll be adding tracks every few days, starting with the older material first... it's a schitzo mixture of apocalyptic metal, cosmic horror and introspective real life stuff across a variety of music genres and styles
