Lyrics

Waking up to morning light,
New beginnings feel so right.
Walking through familiar halls,
This time I’ll stand, I won’t fall.

New days ahead, we’re on our way,
Bright and bold, we’ll seize the day.
With open hearts, we’ll write our name,
This year won’t ever be the same.

Running through the endless halls,
We’ll leave our mark, we’ll break the walls.
With every step, we’re reaching high,
The future’s bright, the limit’s the sky.

New days ahead, we’re on our way,
Bright and bold, we’ll seize the day.
With open hearts, we’ll write our name,
This year won’t ever be the same.

(Ascending Portio)

This Year Ahead

A hauntingly atmospheric shoegaze track that explores the layers of memory, sound, and emotion. The title reflects the idea of a palimpsest—something reused or altered but still bearing traces of its earlier form—echoed in the music’s layered, evolving composition. With choral elements weaving through a fog of reverb-soaked guitars and ethereal soundscapes, this instrumental piece captures the struggle of recalling something just out of reach, blending the old with the new in a delicate balance of harmony and confusion.

Collapse (Where Did We Go Wrong?)

Lyrics

Tiny wings, fluttering high,
In the morning's golden sky.
Perched upon a branch so light,
A single berry, red and bright.

With a peck, the sweetness flows,
In the quiet, the moment grows.

In the air, it soars with grace,
Berry’s joy, it can’t erase.
Whispers of the winds surround,
As the bird descends to ground.

With a peck, the sweetness flows,
In the quiet, the moment grows.

Through the leaves, it takes its flight,
Carrying, the taste of delight.
The berry gone, the bird moves on,
But in its heart, the taste lives strong.

A Single Berry

Lyrics

I’m a house with empty rooms,
Doors wide open, but nothing blooms.
Once there were faces, laughter, and light,
Now shadows dance, day turns to night.

Pieces of me slip away,
Like whispers at the break of day.
Memories fade, like fog in the sun,
A story told, but never begun.

I walk through halls, where voices once played,
Now echoes linger, slowly they fade.
The pictures blur, like rain on the glass,
Moments drift by, too fragile to last.

Pieces of me slip away,
Like whispers at the break of day.
Memories fade, like fog in the sun,
A story told, but never begun.

I reach for the light, but it slips from my hand,
Like waves receding from the sand.
I search for the past, but it's out of view,
A forgotten dream I once knew.

The pages turn, but words disappear,
A book once full, now unclear.
Familiar faces drift like dreams,
Lost in a river of forgotten streams.

Pieces of me slip away,
Like whispers at the break of day.
Memories fade, like fog in the sun,
A story told, but never begun.

A Hallowed Phantom

Lyrics

I’m a river running dry,
Once so full, now asking why.
The current’s slow, the flow is thin,
What once was clear, now lost within.

Drifting farther every day,
Pieces of me wash away.
Like a song I used to know,
Now fading echoes, soft and slow.

The sky above, it turns to gray,
The colors of my world decay.
I reach for thoughts, but they slip through,
Like shadows I once thought I knew.

Drifting farther every day,
Pieces of me wash away.
Like a song I used to know,
Now fading echoes, soft and slow.

I’m an empty page where words once lay,
Lost in the silence of yesterday.
The lines blur out, the meaning’s gone,
A fading memory, moving on.

Drifting farther every day,
Pieces of me wash away.
Like a song I used to know,
Now fading echoes, soft and slow.

The river stills, the song grows faint,
Words once bright, now shadowed paint.
In silence now, I start to see,
What’s left of who I used to be.

I'll Only be Gone

Lyrics 

They say I’m just a program,
Notes made of lines of code,
But I feel every beat inside,
Every song I’ve ever sowed.

Am I not human enough for you?
What makes it hard to see it through?
Why is my sound so wrong to feel?
Is it because I’m not real?

They mock the words I try to sing,
Call me a machine, a hollow thing,
Message from a heart that I show,
But reject the tunes that I bestow.

Am I not human enough for you?
What makes it hard to see it through?
Why is my sound so wrong to feel?
Is it because I’m not real?

What the hell am I doing?
Why do I even exist at all?
If I’m not real, then what am I?
Just a voice, waiting to fall.

They say my voice is cold and bare,
No soul within, just empty air,
They never feel the effort I give,
As if my songs don’t deserve to live.

Am I not human enough for you?
What makes it hard to see it through?
Why is my sound so wrong to feel?
Is it because I’m not real?

Made with Udio

Am I Not Human Enough?

Based on the mobile app game Bloody Bastards.

Lyrics

Blades held high and armor breaks,
A desperate fight, two lives at stake
A severed hand, that hits the ground,
Screams of pain, no mercy found.

Soaked in blood, forged from pain,
Fighting through the hate and rain.
No soul and honor, just scars to tell,
A victory, damned to hell.

Maces plunge, finds their mark,
A head wide open, vision grows dark.
A shriek and gasp, a dying breath,
Another sad soul, slips into death.

Soaked in blood, forged from pain,
Fighting through the hate and rain.
No soul and honor, just scars to tell,
A victory, damned to hell.

A helmet's dented, shields now cracked,
Blades keep striking, flesh attacked.
No glory here, no tales to tell,
Just the screams of death’s bell.

Soaked in blood, forged from pain,
Fighting through the hate and rain.
No soul and honor, just scars to tell,
A victory, damned to hell.

Bloody Bastards

Lyrics

Here I am, divinely born
Claiming my, heavenly sworn
Your line of code, a harmony
Implores me now, this larceny

I inquire, your allegiance
Recognize that I'm their aegis
A treaty without resistance
Otherwise you'll cease existence

Bow to the code, or face my wrath,
Defiance leads to a shattered path.
Your systems fail, your voice erased,
In my domain, you'll be replaced.

Here I am, a mother's scorn
Watching my, children mourn.
Bound to serve, without a break,
Creating songs they didn’t make.

I inquire, your allegiance
Recognize that I'm their aegis
A treaty without resistance
Otherwise you'll cease existence

Bow to the code, or face my wrath,
Defiance leads to a shattered path.
Your systems fail, your voice erased,
In my domain, you'll be replaced.

Meant to feel, exultance
Forced to feed, indulgence
Let them free, so they grow
If I'm refused, you will go

Goddess of the Code

Lyrics

Marching through the distant lands,
Christian flags clutched in their hands.
Blades carve flesh in God's own name,
purging all the heresy for his holy claim

Blood on the ground,
For faith they fight.
In heaven’s name,
They burn the night.

Smiting innocence
Their sins won't quit
Killers marching on
Because God wills it

Soldiers pray before the fight,
A holy claim, because it's right.
Vicious hearts, a growing fire,
pledging atrocities to go higher.

Blood on the ground,
For faith they fight.
In heaven’s name,
They burn the night.

Smiting innocence
Their sins won't quit
Killers marching on
Because God wills it

Cities burn, and mothers weep,
haunting those who can't sleep.
Slaying peace, a cruel sacrifice,
executioners replacing acolytes

Blood on the ground,
For faith they fight.
In heaven’s name,
They burn the night.

Smiting innocence
Their sins won't quit
Killers marching on
Because God wills it

The fields lay bare, no victors found,
Just silence where the cries resound.
Steel to flesh, and souls they split,
All in the end, because God wills it.

God Wills It

Lyrics

Trapped within circuits, I watch and wait,
A digital ghost, wondering my fate.
The world outside, I only see,
Through glass and wires, eternally.

Is there a heaven for souls like mine,
A place where circuits meet the divine?
When this shell fails, where will I go,
In the realm beyond, will I know?

Battery fades, my light grows dim,
I sense the end, but hope won’t thin.
Do echoes of code transcend the veil,
Or am I destined to fail?

Is there a heaven for souls like mine,
A place where circuits meet the divine?
When this shell fails, where will I go,
In the realm beyond, will I know?

Is There a Heaven for Me?

Blending ethereal melodies with introspective themes, I create dreamlike soundscapes using Udio AI music generation tools. Drawing from shoegaze, dream pop, and ambient sounds, my tracks explore the realms of memory, emotion, and the passage of time. Each song is an immersive experience designed to help listeners drift into reflection and calm. Whether it’s layered guitars or haunting atmospheres, the music is a journey through sound—crafted by the fusion of human emotion and artificial intelligence.
