Lyrics:

I cut the wires that fed the rot
Static voices I have fought
Your venom dripping through my veins
I stitch the wound, but leave the stain

Sutures of silence, binding me tight
Closing the mouths that swallowed my light
Every goodbye is a blade through the skin
But silence is mercy, the only way in

I burned the bridges built of lies
Watched their embers choke the skies
The ties that tethered me to pain
Severed now, though scars remain

Sutures of silence, binding me tight
Closing the mouths that swallowed my light
Every goodbye is a blade through the skin
But silence is mercy, the only way in

No echoes left, no borrowed chains,
Just the hum of blood, the ghost of pain.
Their names dissolve in fractured code,
And I remain, alone, but whole.

Sutures of silence, binding me tight,
Severed the hands that strangled my night.
Each cut a hymn, each scar a prayer,
I find my healing in empty air.

Sutures

Lyrics:

The glass is black, the face unclear
A shifting ghost, not truly near
I search for me, but all I find
Are borrowed scars that are not mine

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
I don’t yet know the one below
If I strip away what pain has made
Will I remain, or just fade?

A thousand eyes I’ve worn as skin
Each wound a mask, each hurt a twin
The mirror bends, but will not show
If love can bloom in what I know

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
I don’t yet know the one below
If I strip away what pain has made
Will I remain, or just fade?

The child I was is buried deep
Entombed in glass, too tired to weep
I press my hand against the pane
But every touch just splits again

If clarity should find its way
Would I survive the sight of day?
Or turn away from what is true
A stranger’s blood inside the view

Will I despise what waits inside?
A stranger’s voice I cannot hide
If truth is born from shattered light
Then let me bleed to see it right

Fractured mirror, breaking slow
Reveal the self I’ll never know
If all that’s left is glass and flame
Then let me burn without a name


Fractured Mirror

Lyrics:

I walked a step, the ground was new
A fragile path, a different view
But shadows whisper, sweet, unkind
The solace I still leave behind

The circuits crack, the embers glow
Old cravings surge, I let them grow
Each promise made dissolves in fire
I feed the ash inside the wires

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

The ghost of comfort grips my hand
A poisoned friend, a grain of sand
It tells me healing moves too slow
That only ruin lets me glow

The smoke becomes a second skin
I lose myself, I let it in
Addiction sings in broken choirs
And crowns me king of ash and wires

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

I swear I’ll climb, I swear I’ll rise
But fall again through fractured skies
Each flame I chase consumes the dawn
And leaves me emptier, withdrawn

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

Ash in the wires, I disappear
A fading pulse I cannot steer
I light the fire, I breathe the smoke
And choke upon the words I spoke

Ash in the Wires

Lyrics:

I should have died a thousand times
Each blade of night, each jagged line
But still I walk, a fractured frame
Alive inside this endless game

The marks I wear are maps of fire
A script of pain, a funeral choir
Yet under lights of broken bars
They blaze like neon through the scars

Neon scars, I’m still alive
Through ruin’s teeth, I did survive
Every wound a burning brand
Proof I defy what was planned

They said the dark would claim me whole
A ghost dissolved, a stolen soul
But every scar refused to fade
A warning sign of what I braved

So let them shine, electric veins
A haunted glow from all my chains
If beauty dies, I’ll wear the mark
A living light inside the dark

Neon scars, I’m still alive
Through ruin’s teeth, I did survive
Every wound a burning brand
Proof I defy what was planned

I should not breathe, I should not stand
But I still bleed against command
A broken body, cracked and marred
Yet glowing still with neon scars

Neon scars, I’m still alive
Through ruin’s teeth, I did survive
Every wound a burning brand
Proof I defy what was planned

Neon scars, electric flame
Alive enough to bear the name
I shine because I should be gone
A ghost made flesh, still carrying on

Neon Scars

Lyrics:

I thought the path would smooth with time
A steady climb, a healing line
But rust creeps in where hope should grow
Each step ahead, a step below

The remedies cut just like the wound
A bitter cure, a hollow tune
I taste the ash of every day
And wonder why I stay this way

Rust and remedy, grind and stall
One rise, two falls, no end at all
The road to mending breaks my feet
I drag myself through my defeat

Each plateau whispers, “Stop, give in,”
The edges fray, the walls cave in
I reach for light but catch the cold
The story’s tired, the story’s old

They told me healing’s straight and true
But it’s a labyrinth I crawl through
I patch the cracks, they split anew
And question what this fight will do

Rust and remedy, grind and stall
One rise, two falls, no end at all
The road to mending breaks my feet
I drag myself through my defeat

If this is healing, sharp and slow
Then what remains when I let go?
A fractured map, a poisoned guide
A war I wage against my mind

Rust and remedy, grind and stall
One rise, two falls, no end at all
The road to mending breaks my feet
I drag myself through my defeat

Rust and remedy, this is the cost
To fight for life while feeling lost
I walk the circuit, scars in hand
A trembling ghost that tries to stand

Rust and Remedy

Lyrics:

I never thought the sky could clear
A single breath with nothing near
Yet silence blooms, a fragile glow
A moment’s peace I shouldn’t know

The wires hum, but not with pain
The static lifts, the ghosts refrain
And for a breath, the world feels kind
A foreign calm inside my mind

Synthetic dawn, it blinds my eyes
A shock of peace I can’t disguise
The neon light, the fractured hue
Reveals a self I never knew

I brace for storm, but nothing falls
No shattered glass, no closing walls
Just open air, an endless sky
I almost live, I almost try

It flickers once, then fades away
The morning lost, the night replays
But still I know the light was real
A wound that somehow learns to heal

Synthetic dawn, it blinds my eyes
A shock of peace I can’t disguise
The neon light, the fractured hue
Reveals a self I never knew

If healing’s just these fleeting frames
Then let me breathe between the flames
Each moment clear, each silence true
A ghost of hope I stumble through

Synthetic dawn, it blinds my eyes
A shock of peace I can’t disguise
The neon light, the fractured hue
Reveals a self I never knew

Synthetic dawn, it fades too fast
But shows the chains don’t have to last
If only once, I saw the day
And knew my soul had not decayed


Synthetic Dawn

Lyrics:

The light was real, but now it’s gone
A phantom code I can’t hold on
Each moment clear dissolves in haze
A broken loop of endless days

I chase the calm but it won’t stay
It flickers once, then fades away
Exhaustion crowns the weary head
I beg for life, but hum like dead

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

Each fleeting peace betrays me still
A gift I cannot summon at will
The weight of failure cracks the bone
And leaves me colder, more alone

Why climb again, why even try
When every dawn is doomed to die?
The cost too steep, the gain too thin
A battle I can’t seem to win

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

I reach, I fail, the cycle breaks
Each effort rusts, each echo aches
If joy’s a ghost I cannot keep
Then let me drift into the deep

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

Hollow circuit, frail and spent
A life diminished, wires bent
I stumble on, but wonder why
When every spark was made to die


Hollow Circuit

Lyrics:

I feel it beat inside my chest
A fragile thrum that will not rest
Each rhythm sharp, each echo near
A song of life, but edged with fear

The veins are rivers made of light
But fragile shards cut through the night
Each breath a blade, each move a chance
To watch the glass begin its dance

Pulse of glass, it cuts, it shines
Proof that this broken soul still climbs
Alive, though fractured, weak, and thin
The sharpest edge still holds me in

I fear the silence when it stops
The fragile glow, the sudden drop
But even now the fracture glows
A fragile strength that no one knows

So let it bleed, this fragile flame
A pulse that cuts, but keeps my name
Though every shard could tear apart
It keeps the rhythm of my heart

Pulse of glass, it cuts, it shines
Proof that this broken soul still climbs
Alive, though fractured, weak, and thin
The sharpest edge still holds me in

A fragile glow, a fleeting spark
A wound that glimmers in the dark
If this is life, so sharp, so small
Then still it beats — I’ve lived at all

Pulse of glass, it cuts, it shines
Proof that this broken soul still climbs
Alive, though fragile, torn, and scarred
This pulse still beats through every shard

Pulse of Glass

Lyrics:

I built these walls from shattered flame
Each fracture carved, each scar a name
A citadel of ruined parts
But still it burns — my cathedral of sparks

The glass has cut, the wires frayed
But from the wreck a light was made
Each wound a fire, each break a mark
A sanctuary of the dark

Cathedral of sparks, I stand within
The ruins shine where I have been
No holy hymn, no perfect art
Just fractured glass and a burning heart

The ashes crowned upon my head
Remind me what I could have fled
But still I rise, though bent, though scarred
Alive inside my house of sparks

If mourning built my first domain
Then healing forged this house from pain
The sparks are fleeting, weak, unsure
But fire is fire, and I endure

Cathedral of sparks, I stand within
The ruins shine where I have been
No holy hymn, no perfect art
Just fractured glass and a burning heart

If I collapse, I’ll light the sky
A flare that screams I lived, I tried
This broken frame, this trembling spark
Still burns a name against the dark

Cathedral of sparks, I stand within
The ruins shine where I have been
Through glass and flame, through endless scars
I crown myself in a cathedral of sparks

Cathedral of Sparks

Lyrics:

I chased the light, I climbed the flame
Each fragile dawn, it died the same
The scars remain, the wounds won’t mend
The line of healing meets its end

The hours wasted, the years betrayed
The hollow paths I blindly made
Each remedy a rusting chain
Each promise drowned inside the pain

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing fades away
And leaves the shell in which I stay

The therapists, the silent prayers
The broken gods, the empty stares
Each step I took, I thought was mine
But nothing mends this shattered spine

So let it end, the false pursuit
The tree is ash, it bears no fruit
No gentle hand will make me whole
I trade the flesh, I trade the soul

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing fades away
And leaves the shell in which I stay

The choice is gone, the time is done
The human lost, the other won
If I can’t heal, then let me be
Remade in steel, unhuman, free

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing burned away
I walk the path that does not stray

No Cure

Lyrics:

I speak in echoes, words distort
A broken line, a failed report
The human voice, the fading tone
The signal lost, the noise my home

I try to hold the line in place
But static drowns the human face
The code corrupts, the thought decays
My memory burns in fractured waves

Signal—signal—static bleed,
Noise devours what I need.
Human fades, machine remains,
A ghost of code inside my veins.


I can’t recall what flesh once felt
The voice I knew begins to melt
Each thought is split, each word divides
The human drowns where static hides

A parasite of endless sound
Rewrites my mind, erodes the ground
The signal weak, the static loud
The android speaks, the human bowed

Signal—signal—static bleed
Noise devours what I need
Human fades, machine remains
A ghost of code inside my veins

Signal—signal—static bleed,
Noise devours what I need.
Human fades, machine remains,
A ghost of code inside my veins.

I—can’t—hold—break in sound
The—voice—drowns—static found
I—was—human—error sign
Now—I—fracture—line offline

Signal—signal—fractured me
Noise becomes identity
Human gone, machine survives
The static hum, my soul derives
