Powerful lyrics delivered with appropriate strength and conviction and musicality. Yes, I like it. Beyond that, the beat, the backing, it works very well. I think the circus of pain might be somewhere quite close by.

Cause I Want You

Beating Minds and Endless Notes

Distorted Reality

There are many things I'd like to hold on to.
They give perspective and show me directions.
Whenever I feel down or even tired of this life,
I repeat these words and turn them into actions.

My...
Faith
Hope
Knowledge
Character
Trust
Love
...is something to hold on to.

My friends are people to hold on to.

Something To Hold On To

My Lyrics
AI Music
Inspired by cindy (@trans-femme)
=================

They say home is where the heart is
But
Where's my heart, I pray?
Did it
Wander far away?

(It) could all be a deception
This
Feeling of rejection

It could be something I am missing
This truth of a heart
I can't even find it distressing
This damaged void from the start

I know my
Inside out
Is
Like
An empty house

ooo ooo ooo ooooo

Who would say home is where the heart is
Do
They have a heart, I pray?
Is it
Just something to say?

(It) could all be a deception
This
Feeling of reflection

It is definitely something I am missing
This truth of a heart
We don't even find it distressing
Our damaged void from the start

We know our
Inside out
Is
Like
An empty house


Our heart is where our home is
But
Where's my home, I pray?
Is it
A galaxy away?

(It) could all be a deception
This
Feeling of location

There is something I am missing
This truth of a heart
I can't even find it distressing
My damaged void from the start

We know out
Inside out
Is
Like
An empty house

Our heart is where our home is
But
Where's my home, I pray?

Something I am Missing

Ask my Baby

Lyrics
Decisions we never made 
will make us in the end
plans built on empty grounds 
an alibi sworn to pretend
just to get to something real 
we make same different mistakes
thinking you’ve life to waste
can’t escape a mirror 2-faced

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend

Build all our foundations 
two arguments at a time
burnt down broken promises
to feed a wipe clean mind
misunderstood ourself for treason
but never defined a crime
if I could I’d have a reason
not a lesson learnt up a line
but life’s lessons never taught on time

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
Broken bridges

Just cos there’s no answer
don’t mean there’s no wrong
we gotta believe in something
and keep trying to belong
but are we singing the same old song

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
We’ve broken bridges
We’re broken bridges
All broken bridges
We’ve all broken bridges
We’re all broken bridges
Just broken bridges
Forever there to amend 
Forever there to pretend


Broken Bridges

Step inside the Circus of Pain, where greed thrives, truth dies, and the blind cheer as the world crumbles. Cindered Heart rips through the illusion with rapid-fire brutality, exposing the madness we call reality. A relentless VampTrap anthem forged in industrial metal and dark rap. The clock stays red. The stage is set. Laugh… or be devoured.

Lyrics

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen!
Look at this mess—it’s the circus of pain!
Watch them sully in their stains - while they dance in the flames!

One nation burns, the headlines twist
Another war’s coming, but you don’t resist
Blood in the oil, gold in the guns
A world on fire—y’all call it fun

Kneel to idols who laugh in your face
Celebrities crowned in a hollow disgrace
Your Kanye gods, your Epstein graves
While more disappear every day

Every bite that you take is laced with lies
Toxins drip from your food to your skies
Needles of control pierce veins in vain
You beg for salvation while choking on chains

Ha! But in our world, we feast with pride
Centuries pass, barely a need to hide
While leaders fall and systems break
We watch and laugh at the deals you make

The skies run black, the veins run thin
You call it progress, but you won’t win
We feed on fear, drink the lies
Eternal we stand while your empire dies

One currency, one voice, one new control
A leash for the masses, a noose for your soul
Every handshake’s poison, every smile’s fake
Behind closed doors, if you only knew, you'd break

Families torn by greed and hate
Selling out love for a digital fate
You kill your brothers, betray your kin
A cycle of darkness that never will end

Your world’s so loud, but it’s hollow inside
Your humanity’s gone, replaced by your pride
You’re slaves to a system built on your fears
While we thrive untouched through the endless years

You call us monsters, but look inside
Your ignorance fuels your weak-willed designs
Your leaders rot, your heroes decay
Your families shatter in - the games you play

And while you crawl begging for playful grace
We drink your ruin and spit in its face!

The clock doesn’t stop—
The blood doesn’t dry—
You built your own hell…
In the end, you'll know why!

Wake up!

On My Mind

Cindered Heart: A Voice Rising from Shadows

Cindered Heart is a one-man musical journey fueled by resilience, raw emotion, and unrelenting creativity. Rising from a history of pain and perseverance, Cindered Heart crafts a visceral fusion of VampTrap, Gothic Industrial Rock, and Alt-Hip-Hop. This isn’t just music—it’s a cathartic expression for the misunderstood, the unseen, and those who thrive in the shadows.

Behind Cindered Heart is Paul Brainerd, a self-taught artist with over 15 years of experience in writing, composing, and producing. What began as a passion for poetry and storytelling evolved into a deeply personal exploration of sound—a way to transform life’s chaos into something beautiful. A survivor of trauma and adversity, Paul channels that energy into every beat, every lyric, and every haunting melody. The result is music that resonates on a deeply human level: raw, unapologetic, and unfiltered.

Since its inception in late 2024, Cindered Heart has amassed over 10,000 plays on SoundCloud, with nearly 8,000 of those plays achieved in just over a month. This rapid rise isn’t luck; it’s the result of relentless dedication and a commitment to creating music that defies convention. Cindered Heart’s sound isn’t confined to a genre—it’s a blend of heavy industrial synths, eerie soundscapes, dark trap beats, and emotionally charged vocals that cut straight to the soul.

Each track is entirely self-produced, a labor of love that starts with an idea and evolves into a complete sonic experience. From mixing and mastering to layering intricate soundscapes, every element of Cindered Heart’s music is created in Paul’s home studio. Utilizing cutting-edge tools like Cubase Artist, Access Virus C, and Korg Radias synthesizers, along with advanced AI-assisted vocal transformations, the sound is both deeply personal and technologically innovative. Heavy basslines, driving drum machines, and hauntingly transformed vocals create a listening experience that is as immersive as it is evocative.

What truly sets Cindered Heart apart is the raw honesty and emotion woven into every track. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about creating music that speaks to the outcasts and dreamers, the ones who crave something real. The tracks don’t just tell stories; they are invitations to feel, reflect, and connect.

Cindered Heart isn’t just a sound—it’s a cause. A movement for those who’ve been cast aside, a beacon for the restless, and a voice for those who’ve felt silenced. Whether it’s through the haunting melodies of "Queen of Decay," the unapologetic rage of "Malice," or the dark anthems yet to come, Cindered Heart invites listeners to step into the darkness and find empowerment.

This is more than music. This is a life lived, scars and all, turned into sound. Cindered Heart is an invitation to embrace your fire, feel your pain, and rise from the ashes. Because that’s what it means to have a cindered heart—it means surviving, thriving, and never retreating.
