Timeless Echoes

Caught in the Daze

I sigh a silence through my sleeves
Speak in gestures no one reads
Smile like it’s muscle memory
I’ve learned to disappear clean

It’s easier to bruise in private
And wear the wound like design
Tell me I seem so calm—
Yeah, that’s the crime

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

You ask why I never flinch
I’ve made numbness feel like skin
You hold the match like a dare
But I’m already not there-
Oh, oh, I'm already not there!

It’s easier to hide in pattern
Than gamble what's not returned
The burn you fear?
I’ve learned to yearn and not get burned

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

Some call it fear, I call it form
Some call it love, I call it worn
If I never bleed, is it still a war?
If I never crack, is it still yours?

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

Some call it fear, I call it form
Some call it love, I call it worn
I didn’t break—just changed the shape they thought was mine
Soft as armor, stitched to tear but I'll be fine.

Soft Armor

Written and recorded ourselves in the back room of our drummers house. This album is a culmination of ideas that have circled within the band for a couple of years now. Inspired by bands like Algernon Cadwallader, Macseal, Sweet Pill, and many others, this is our take on the midwest emo genre. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. We're a small diy band out of Southern California, so if you like what you hear share it with your friends! Word of mouth is everything for a band like us. Shoot us a message on social media and let us know what you think of the album! Instagram/Twitter: @mathrockband

Muletonic - Fire the Fox

She Fell

Invisible (Chinese Version)

[Verse 1]
As a child I lay beneath the sheets,
Eyes wide in the quiet hush
The voices from my day still stirred
Till the night erased the rush
Then colors bloomed behind my eyes
They’d glow, they’d swirl, then shift to form
The room would fill with silent watchers
Just standing there, unknown and still

[Chorus]
They came in silence, unknown and near
No halos bright, no message clear
I never knew what they could be
Not ghosts, not dreams, not something strange
But angels, standing just out of range

[Verse 2 ]
I left that room, grew older fast
Filed it away in shadowed past
Then years went by, and one calm night
I told the tale beneath soft light
She paused, went still, then met my eyes
And said, Dad,  I saw them too.
Same room, same quiet, same held breath
She felt what I once knew

[Chorus]
They came in silence, unknown and near
No halos bright, no message clear
I never knew what they could be
Not ghosts, not dreams, not something strange
But angels, standing just out of range

[Verse 3 ]
One night I found the strength to speak
My voice was small, my body weak.
I said, You scare me, please just go away
And something shifted, soft and slow
No anger came, no harsh goodbye
Just quiet peace across the room
They faded like the morning dew
And left me safe, the way I knew

[Bridge]
I don’t know why they came at all
Or why they stood so still, so tall
But somehow I could feel them there
A quiet presence in the air

[Final Verse]
I no longer fear their faces in the night
Or the hush that holds them in the light
But if they’ve come to call me home
I’d whisper, Please, not yet, there’s more to hold.

It’s not their grace that makes me shake
It’s all the love I’d have to break
So if they’re near, I hope they know
I’m not ready, not yet to go.

Invisible (Chinese Version)
