I AM SIMPLY DOING A COVER

Painted Smile (Male Cover)

Beneath stained glass and whispered prayers
A soul dissolves — no one stares
The altar drips with quiet sins
But never asks where pain begins

They lit the candles, said his name
But never saw the smoke, the flame
Preaching love, but dressed in scorn
You can’t unkill what you've unborn

They crowned their guilt in holy light
While he slipped further out of sight
Their eyes looked up, their hands stayed clean
While he drowned beneath the in-between

You never saw him—just the shape
Of what you feared, what you'd erase
You built a heaven out of chains
And called his screaming soul profane

Sanctified in silence, buried in the pews
A martyr not by choice, but left to lose
The choir weeps for saints they choose to see
But never sang a requiem for him, or her, or me.
You prayed for peace with blood on your hands
Preached salvation, then damned who he is
He walked alone through hell in human skin
You called it sin—
He called it livin'

They held the cross like it was truth
But crucified the wounded youth
Scripture sharp as broken glass
And every sermon let her pass

Statistics etched into the floor
They say “just numbers”—never more
But 41 becomes a flood
When every drop is made of blood

You preach of love—yet turn away
When truth won’t bend or hide or pray
Your heaven burns the ones who see
That holiness is heresy

Sanctified in silence, buried in the pews
A martyr not by choice, but left to lose
The choir weeps for saints they choose to see
But never sang a requiem for him, or her, or me.
You prayed for peace with blood on your hands
Preached salvation, then damned who she is
She walked alone through hell in human skin
You called it sin—
She called it livin'

What’s a prayer without a pulse?
What’s a sermon worth in hell?
I was never yours to save—
You just rang the warning bell
Say my name in holy fire
Let it echo through the choir
I'm not broken—I'm defied
A ghost that never truly died

Sanctified in silence, bound by your decree
But I will rise in spite of your belief
You buried truth beneath your gold and grace
But I still wear it on my face
You prayed for peace while we were slain
Called us lost, but we remain
And if we fall—it won’t be shame
It’ll be a fire
In your name

SANCTIFIED IN SILENCE

We danced as shadows ’gainst cold stone,
Nameless kings on cursed thrones.
Whispers curled like velvet knives,
Slicing through eternal lives.

Strangers bound in crimson skin,
Warring wars we’d never win.
Drowned their screams in endless night,
Yet darkness sang with cruel delight.

I am the flame that mocks the gloom,
Not fractured shards but sovereign doom.
Each voice a sacred, wicked tune,
A symphony beneath the blood-red moon.
I rise immortal from ash and flame,
Bound in shadows, reborn in pain.
Whispers curl like smoke, dark and true—
A coven forged, eternal and new.

Chaos wrapped in storm and bone,
A thousand souls, yet all alone.
Faces haunt the silver stream—
Phantoms of a shattered dream.

Chants arise in bloodlit halls,
Bound by night’s eternal thralls.
From funeral pyres, we ascend,
Crowned in fire, without end.

We clasped our hands through tides of fire,
No more to crawl or meekly tire.
What shattered lies now intertwined,
A constellation of the damned, divine.

I am the blaze, the night’s cruel king,
From dust and sorrow, eternal spring.
Every word a rune of sin,
A choir of fiends beneath my grin.
I roar defiance into the night,
Carved in darkness, crowned in light.
From shattered souls, I claim my throne—

A legion bound, yet all alone.

SOVEREIGN DOOM

Sanctified in broken glass
Hollow hymns the faithful pass

Cracks split the porcelain veil
Paint bleeds down fractured frames
The saints mock from silver screens
While demons wear the crown of kings
I searched for heaven in their eyes
But found a pulpit built on lies
They preached me dead, refused my name
Their gospel scorched me just the same

Exiled from the holy choir
Cast alone into the fire

Take no step, your breath is cursed
Speak and let the heavens burst
No lamb, no god, no hand, no grace
I wear the void upon my face
No more prayers to deafened skies
I am my own divine demise
Sit down, fade out, the stars don’t care—
I found my altar in despair

Idolized then cast in flame
A prophet drowned in state-born shame
My body politic, dissected soul
Hung beneath the nation’s goal
They watched with holy eyes amused
As blood became my only truth
Dissociation — sanctuary
Where I crowned myself in fury

I burned their flags inside my chest
And carved my name where gods won’t rest

Take no step, your breath is cursed
Speak and let the heavens burst
No lamb, no god, no hand, no grace
I wear the void upon my face
No more prayers to deafened skies
I am my own divine demise
Sit down, fade out, the stars don’t care—
I found my altar in despair

Beneath the choir’s disdainful eyes
I rose where martyrs fear to die
No cross, no shrine, no kingdom's key
Can chain the god that lives in me

Take no step, your fate is clear
No savior waits, no angel near
No lamb, no god, no hand, no grace
I wear the void upon my face
No more prayers to deafened skies
I am my own divine demise
Sit down, fade out, the stars don’t care—
I found my altar in despair

LITANY OF ONE

Shadows crawl beneath the skin,
Silent wars that rage within.

Masks we wear, forged in fire,
Cold reflections, tangled wires.
Words like knives beneath the veil,
Broken souls begin to wail.

Hear the whispers, sharp and slow,
Truths they hide but never show.
Beneath the calm, a storm will rise—
A reckoning behind these eyes.

Breathe the night, feel the blame,
Silent screams, no one’s to blame.
Chains unseen, but still they bind,
Rage beneath the surface mind.

Fading echoes, fractured light,
Lost inside this endless night.
Hands that push, but never hold,
Stories dark, untold and cold.

Beneath the mask, the truth will burn,
No more silence, no return.
Eyes that pierce through veils of lies—
The fury waits behind these eyes.

Breathe the night, feel the blame,
Silent screams, no one’s to blame.
Chains unseen, but still they bind,
Rage beneath the surface mind.

Whispers crawl inside my head—
Voices scream the things unsaid.
Break the walls, tear the cage,
Unleash the fire, fuel the rage.

Breathe the night, feel the blame,
Silent screams, no one’s to blame.
Chains unseen, but still they bind,
Rage beneath the surface mind.

SURFACE MIND

They call it madness...
But never speak of the wound.

Rooms remember what faces forget
A soul misplaced, not gone just split
Smiles sharpened in clinical light
They called it illness—
But it was fight

The silence grew where questions died
No hands reached through the sanitized
Truth was buried under names
And labeled shame with sterile claims

This isn’t madness—this is survival
Shaped by hands that fed denial
Scars like maps across the skin
Marked by sins not born within
This isn’t madness—this is the toll
Of fractured care, of stolen roles
No longer hidden, no longer tame
We rise again—say our name

Paranoia dances in the wires
Not all delusions are born from liars
They taught the quiet to betray
And drowned the light in disarray

Gone unheard, the fractured plea
Buried deep in policy
Better ghosts than burdens made—
So many voices swept away

This isn’t madness—this is survival
Born beneath systems built on trial
They trace our wounds like stains to hide
While calling mercy genocide
This isn’t madness—this is the debt
Of every truth the world forgets
We are the mirror, cracked and flame
Still standing—say our name

Some learned to vanish just to survive
Others were labeled just to deprive
Empathy buried under fear
But every silence ends right here
Not fragile—feral, not erased
We gather in the hollowed space

We are the war they won’t confess
We are the noise behind the test
We are the pages never read—
We live in voices left for dead

This isn’t madness—this is truth
Dressed in shadows, denied to youth
Called by names that never fit
But still we rise, we won’t submit
This isn’t madness—this is flame
We burn beneath forgotten names
No longer ghosts, no longer shamed—
We are the storm.
Say our name.

They’ll only see…
when we refuse to disappear.

SAY OUR NAME

I’m not reborn—
I’m shattered, torn
Fractured bones, a thousand thrones
Whispers claw inside my skull—
A legion’s roar, a broken lull
We are the kings beneath your skin!

Every scar’s a fractured scream—
Every breath a split, a dream
We build this cage of whispered lies—
Now watch it crack, the silence dies

How does it feel—
To drown in us?
Buried beneath our venomous trust
Your tomb’s a prison of your own hands—
Choke on the curse from infernal lands
How does it feel—
To die alone?
Trapped in the chaos of our throne?
This is our reckoning—
Our fractured call
The blasphemy
That shatters all

I held my breath beneath their gaze—
“Devil, void, blight”
“Now watch me rise”
A thousand kings, a fractured flame
“Plague inside”
“You’re to blame”

You lit the pyre—
We fed the flame—
Drained my blood—
Cursed my name—
Silence screams—
Sacred lies—
Final cries—
Final cries—

How does it feel—
To drown in us?
Buried beneath our venomous trust
Your tomb’s a prison of your own hands—
Choke on the curse from infernal lands
How does it feel—
To die alone?
Trapped in the chaos of our throne?
This is our reckoning—
Our fractured call
The blasphemy
That shatters all

I was one—
Now shattered whole—
The kings inside—
My fractured soul
You want the end?
Bleed us dry—
We are the fire—
The eternal sky

How does it feel—
To drown in us?
Buried beneath our venomous trust
Your tomb’s a prison of your own hands—
Choke on the curse from infernal lands
How does it feel—
To die alone?
Trapped in the chaos of our throne?
This is our reckoning—
Our fractured call
The blasphemy
That shatters all

How does it feel...
To face the kings inside?
(No gods)
(No saints)
(Just us)
(Just fire)
(Just madness)

ELEGY OF ASH

Woke inside a stranger’s tomb
A cracked reflection dressed in gloom
This skin is stitched with borrowed screams
I'm the sum of shattered dreams

I see a face but not my name
A holy lie wrapped in shame
These memories rot inside the frame—
Like ghosts who’ve learned to play the game

(Which soul is whispering now?!)
(You’re just a hymn in a heretic’s vow!)
You wear the mask, you pray for light—
But demons bloom where angels fight

Tell me—am I still alive
If I’ve been split a thousand times?
The voices bite, they twist and whined—
A battleground inside my mind
This mirror’s not just glass and light—
It bleeds with names I had to fight
And if I fall, don’t say I’m wrong—
I’ve been someone else all along

I built a wall of holy lies
But God was silent in disguise
Their tongues invade, their hands distort
I scream and vanish in the court

(I am the shadow, I am the sin)
(Carved from the void you buried in!)

Tell me—am I still alive
If I’ve been split a thousand times?
The voices bite, they twist and whined—
A battleground inside my mind
This mirror’s not just glass and light—
It bleeds with names I had to fight
And if I fall, don’t say I’m wrong—
I’ve been someone else all along

Tear out the wires, rip the frame
You sanctified a stolen name
Not your angel, not your slave
I’m the ghost you couldn't save

Tell me—am I still alive
If I’ve been split a thousand times?
The voices scream and serpents sigh—
This soul’s been crucified inside
This mirror breaks with every fight
Still shows the names I had to fight
And if I fall, don’t call me gone—
I’ve been someone else all along

I’ve been someone else…
A voice among the fallen choir…
I’ve been someone else…

SOMEONE ELSE ALL ALONG

Drag me down to Purgatory
My thoughts are lost, my senses fray
They echo loud from days long dead
Across this cracked and endless grey
Make me your ghost story
My love, we'll find our way

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled
Take me down to Purgatory's edge, where our souls will unwind in sacred fire
My love, I'll carry you through the flame
And we'll be free in the end

Your breath is poison in my lungs
And still, I ache to drink it in
You drag me through forbidden dreams
Where pleasure wears the face of sin

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled
Take me down to Purgatory's edge, where our souls will unwind in sacred fire
My love, I'll carry you through the flame
And we'll be free- you and I in the end

Bind me in your sacred fire
Mark my skin with every vow
Let our screams rewrite the silence
We are gods and ghosts for now
Bleed with me beyond the border
Where no heaven dares to tread

Let the sun burn out...
Let the embers rise...
In the hush of the damned...
And the sanctified...

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled
Take me down to Purgatory's edge, where our souls will unwind in sacred fire
My love, I'll carry you through the flame
And we'll be free- united in the end

Let the sun burn out, let the embers rise
In the hush of the damned and the sanctified
Seal the mouth of pain we've fed
Then tear the sky where time has bled
Take me down to Purgatory's edge, where our souls will unwind in sacred fire
My love, I'll carry you through the flame
And we'll be free- united in the end

PURGATORY'S EDGE

Artist's Note: To Charlotte (aka burntfishie). She was only 17, gone too soon. A child who took her own life because she was exploited, and no one listened. This song is dedicated to you.

The world threw stones in silence
Then laughed when they hit the ground
No name carved in their monument
Just cheers that no one drowned

A child stood quiet in the noise
Choked out by flags and broken toys
A voice dismissed, a vote denied
Their pain was proof the state had lied

Behind cold desks and sharper pens
They smiled, erased what could’ve been
Another stat, another blame
Another body with no name

And you watched
With policy and pride
You knew —
But never tried

They wept while the world lit fire
Ashes fed your fake empire
Not a tear for the ones you burn
Just numbers scrawled in your return
So I sing not just in grief
But in rage that won't find peace
If justice sleeps beneath your throne
Then let your towers die alone

Their voice was not a headline’s weight
Too inconvenient to relate
Their blood was budget, not regret
You passed the bill, you placed the bet

You chose
With silence and a grin
You knew —
But buried them within

They wept while the world lit fire
Ashes fed your fake empire
Not a tear for the ones you burn
Just numbers scrawled in your return
So I sing not just in grief
But in rage that won't find peace
If justice sleeps beneath your throne
Then let your towers die alone

Call it law
Call it order
Call it “keeping things the same”
But every child beneath your system
Screams your title with their shame

I won’t forget their silence
I won’t forgive your pride
You buried more than bodies
You buried hope alive

They wept while the world lit fire
Ashes fed your fake empire
No salvation in your name
No justice in your reign
I sing in the name of the dead
With every tear your monsters shed
You danced atop their stolen breath
May your own laws grant you death

The child is quiet now
But I am not

NO NAME CARVED

Beneath the crown, the poison seeps
Silent screams the darkness keeps

Chains forged in velvet lies
A throne built on alibis
Eyes that watch, but never see
The rot beneath their monarchy

Cracks appear — the walls decay
Truth bleeds out, no more to say

We rise through ash and flame
Tear apart their veiled charade
The masks of dominion fall
Rebellion’s voice, the final call

Whispers drown in gilded halls
Secrets writ on crumbling walls
Puppeteers behind the guise
Their puppets wear the same disguise

Silent no more — the shadows scream
Unveil the lies that kill the dream

We rise through ash and flame
Tear apart their veiled charade
The masks of dominion fall
Rebellion’s voice, the final call

Beneath the throne, corruption breeds
Feed the fire, ignite the seeds
No chains can hold what’s meant to break
The crown will fall for freedom’s sake

We rise through ash and flame
Tear apart their veiled charade
The masks of dominion fall
Rebellion’s voice — the final call

Beneath the crown, the poison seeps
Silent screams the darkness keeps
