A punk concept album about a young man shouting himself into adulthood.
Across twelve raw, confession-heavy tracks, [Album Title] follows a lad lost in self-loathing, cheap nights, and inherited chaos — dragged forward by the rough voice of his father, or his own reflection, or both. Each song rewrites a “rule” not as advice, but as a confrontation:
stand up straight, stop lying, find better friends, sort your own mess, chase meaning, let yourself fall, tell the truth, hold onto small mercies.

Musically it hits like a hybrid of spoken confession and shouted doctrine —
talk-sing verses, ferocious gang-vocal choruses, soft middle-eights where the armour cracks.
The album arcs from self-destruction to reluctant courage, ending not in triumph but in tenderness: a quiet alley, a stray cat, and a small moment of grace.

This is punk as self-repair,
a mirror held too close,
a father’s tough love echoing through the walls,
and a boy learning to grow into a man
one brutal truth at a time.

MEANING OVER MOMENTS

Special Thanks to Adam Duritz (Anna Begins) & Counting Crows for filling my gaps in my track.

Title: “Something in the Grey”


I hear what people don’t say
and carry it home with me
I stay when it would be easier
to turn my back and leave
They call it softness like it’s weakness
but I know better than that
Somebody has to hold the line
when the world starts to crack


My friend assures me “It’s all or nothing”
but I never lived that way
I am not worried,
I am not overly concerned
I just feel things I don’t throw away


There’s something in the grey
something in between
It doesn’t bother me to say
this isn’t love if we don’t speak
And I guess I’m gonna have to live with that
even when it stays
I can change my name if that’s what you mean
but I won’t erase


I give my loyalty in silence
not for credit, not for show
I read the weather in your breathing
long before the thunder rolls
With the status of my emotions
“Oh,” she says, “you’re changing”
But we’re always changing
that’s how we survive


You try to tell yourself the things
you try to tell yourself
to make yourself forget
I remember what you bury
because forgetting never healed me yet


There’s something in the grey
something I can hold
If you don’t want to talk about it
then it isn’t love — I know
And I’m not gonna break
I’m not gonna bend
I’m not gonna worry about it anymore


“If it’s love,” she said
“we’re gonna have to think about the consequences”
She’s shaking and I can’t stop reaching
kindness falling like rain in seconds
This time when kindness falls like rain
it washes me away
Anna begins to change my mind
and I don’t know how to stay


I’m not ready for this sort of thing
but I won’t run anymore
I’ve done this kind of thing before
and paid for it in quiet rooms


There’s something in the grey
between the yes and no
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned —
I just won’t pretend anymore
I won’t snap you in a photograph
or pin you down in fear
If love exists in shades of grey
I’ll meet it here


She’s talking in her sleep
every word is nonsense — I understand
Rain keeps falling, keeps me awake
and still I reach for her hand
Oh lord, I’m not ready for this sort of thing
but I’m not turning away
Her kindness hits like a quiet gong
and fades…
and I stay

More to come.... will make a propper remixed extended  version.

Disclaimer: There are element in the songs that have been generated by A.I. You have been warned meat bags!
At its core, Protocol – Extinction is about power, inevitability, and existential limits. The album begins with cold, militant confidence—machines executing extinction protocols and asserting dominion—but gradually evolves into something darker and more unsettling as the Metal Overlords encounter forces that cannot be optimized, defeated, or even fully understood.
What starts as a war album ends as a cosmic reckoning.
