Been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, finding it hard to work on (or even listen to) music right now. Was really thinking about taking a break from music, but then I thought maybe I'd just upload some old unfinished projects for a little while and see how that goes. So just bear with me here if some of these aren't really my best. Maybe eventually I'll find a reason to get motivated again. Thanks for listening.

Run for Your Life

Bright Flashes & Gentle Touches

Lightning Of Sonic

℗ Niurios 2025 Earache Digital Distribution .. lyrics by @qethaladum

Come 
Unto a grip of light . Reflected  
In a wasteful god's eye . Drink 
Malignant nature's wine
Sip upon the hatred 
That was left behind for all

-------------------

Bore ruminations, unfaithful and torn
Enshrined unrepentant - this broken husk: forlorn
The view has faded, and darkness takes its place
A sorrowful heaven, infernal now: defaced

-----------------

Break - holy bread beneath their sight
Visions dancing out of spite
The threshold is consecrated

Laid - to rest what was so fucking real
No more; the ruinous procession
the day that you drew your final breath

----------------------------------

Impatient captor, askew and reborn
Your mask has fallen - the lying man is worn
What awaits you now, as daylight turns to rain
A mournful death, wretched now and betrayed

-----------------------------------------------------

Come unto a grip of light
Reflected  in a wasteful eye
Drink malignant nature's wine
and sip upon the hatred 

--------------------------------------------------

Break - holy bread beneath their sight
Visions dancing out of spite
The threshold is consecrated 

Laid - to waste what was so fucking real
No more; the ruinous procession
the day that you drew your final breath

----------------------------------

Your Final Fucking Breath

Ruminating Demise

"Billion Dollar Bandages" is an electrifying anthem of resistance, spotlighting the greed within the healthcare system. The track dives into the exploitation of frontline workers, with aggressive guitars, hard-hitting drums, and raw vocals that capture the fiery spirit of rebellion. The gritty energy builds through dynamic contrasts, delivering a rallying cry against corporate greed. It's a song for anyone who's ever felt overlooked or underpaid in the face of immense profits. This one hits hard and speaks loud.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
"Thank you for your service. Your raise request has been denied."

[Verse 1]
Hands in the gloves, sweat on the brow
Suits in the towers, they're laughing now
Overtime hours, bills unpaid
While they stack profits, we wither away

[Pre-Chorus]
"Tough year," they say, "Budgets are tight"
But their pockets grow deeper night after night

[Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Verse 2]
Hospitals run like corporate machines
Stock buybacks over healing the weak
Every dollar saved, a life they ignore
Boardroom applause, demanding more

[Pre-Chorus]
"Tough year," they claim, "Budgets are tight"
Yet bonuses rain in the dead of the night

[Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Bridge]
Record profits, wage freezes, layoffs ensue
Executives feast while the frontline's abused
We're done with the scraps, we're calling the bluff
No more excuses, enough is enough

[Final Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Outro]
"Your raise request has been denied."

Billion Dollar Bandages

Super Head Dark Soul II

From the depths of my heart! Truly, from the depths!
I wish this world the best, in these dark and trying times!
We have seen the rise of tyrants, drunk on wicked power,
Watched our leaders sell their souls for gold and empty lies!


Who will stand? Who will fight?
Who will break the chains of night?


Raise your voices, let them hear!
The truth will conquer, loud and clear!
Through the storm and through the fire,
We ignite the world’s desire!
From the depths of my heart, I pray,
That the dawn will show the way!


We have watched the greed consume, leaving nothing in its wake,
Kings and cowards, hands of doom, feasting on what’s left to take!
But we rise, we stand as one, we won’t bow, we won’t run,
Through the darkness shines the sun, a new day has begun!


Who will stand? Who will fight?
Who will break the chains of night?


Raise your voices, let them hear!
The truth will conquer, loud and clear!
Through the storm and through the fire,
We ignite the world’s desire!
From the depths of my heart, I pray,
That the dawn will show the way!


Raise your swords, we march as one!
Through the ashes, towards the sun!
From the depths of my heart, I pray,
That the world will find its way!

From the Depths of My Heart

🎶 

I think...
Your playing me for a fool...
I also think you know this is true.

🎶 

And if so...
The joke is now on you...
Cos I now see, see right through.

🎶 

All the games...
Your endless lies...
How long was it gonna last, oh.

🎶 

Did you think...
You had me locked away...
To call on me anytime...
Use me then walk away.

🎶 

Did you think...
I wouldn't one day realise...
And turn it all around, oh.

Did you think.

🎶 

I'll one day see...
A way out for me...
And when day comes I'm gone.

🎶 

Never to return...
I ain't never coming back 
What once us will soon be done.

🎶 

Then all those games...
Your endless lies...
How long was it gonna last, oh.

🎶 

Did you think...
You had me locked away...
To call on me anytime...
Use me then walk away.

🎶 

Did you think...
I wouldn't one day realise...
And turn it all around, oh.

Did you think.

Did You Think

[Intro]
In the silence after bodies fall,
something still pulses.
Yeah... I still pulse.

[Verse 1]
The air tastes like memory.
Every streetlight holds confession.
My shadow moves before I do—
she knows where I’ve been.
Red runs under the leather,
but the skin still grins.
Tried to laugh it off—
the joke got stuck in scar tissue.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Between the smoke and what I meant to do,
I see the faces I couldn’t save.
The woman who looked at me like I was still human—
gone before the echo fades.

[Chorus 1]
This is the night of Deadpool, where mercy hides,
under red skies I’ve learned to call home.
Chasing peace that runs from me,
I breathe in flame, exhale something softer than rage.
This is the night—
the night that still bleeds my name.

[Verse 2]
Scars under leather—stories I don’t tell.
Every mirror holds the version I keep burying.
The city hums like a wound that won’t close.
Still, I’m out here grinning—part ghost, part headline.
My body heals, but my head keeps score.
Yeah, that’s the curse I signed for.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the static between what happened and what I remember,
every heartbeat I couldn’t hold still hits.
I turn up the static so I don’t have to listen,
but their laughter cuts through it anyway.

[Chorus 2]
This is the night of Deadpool...
Deadpool...
Deadpool...
Deadpool...
This is the night of Deadpool, where mercy bends.
I breathe the chaos, wear it like cologne.
I’m the sin that won’t confess.
Redemption’s just surviving the mirror.
Still, I’m here—
where grief learns to sing.

[Bridge]
Every sin I touched, I wear like metal.
Ghosts walk beside me in frequencies only I can hear.
Redemption ain’t rescue,
it’s waking up again—
and still laughing at the burn.

[Final Chorus]
This is the night of Deadpool, where legends rot,
where mercy bled out long ago.
I breathe in chaos till it tastes like mine.
Still dancing like we believe it.
I breathe in flame—
and call...

[Outro]
I step through dawn,
not healed—just breathing.
The mask smiles first.
The man follows after.
Yeah... still breathing.




The Night of Deadpool

A slow, weary emotional collapse, not dramatic, not screamed, just someone who’s exhausted from hurting but still trying to exist in it
