Never Alone

Ashes of Yesterday

Prostitution (Lindemann Cover)

Lyrics 

I dream of you in silence, every day and night
Through the black and through the gray, you’re my only light
Moonlight bleeding silver, shadows in the room
I reach for you but feel the cold consume


Your voice in the dark, it cuts like a knife
Your eyes are the fire that’s keeping me alive


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


Longing grows inside me, I can’t break away
Your smile is the poison I need every day
The world is bleeding roses, birds fall from the sky
But only you can kill the fear inside


Your voice in the dark, it cuts like a knife
Your eyes are the fire that’s keeping me alive


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


 I’m lost inside this dream of you…
 No escape — I’ll see it through!


Sweetheart! My blood, my chains!
Sweetheart! It’s in my veins!
Sweetheart! No turning back!
Sweetheart! The sky turns black!


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


Sweetheart… Sweetheart…
I’m chained… to you…

[Verse 1]
Dark roads whisper, shadows stay watchin'
Deals in the air, no room for the stoppin'
Night’s move quick, so the p’s keep poppin'
One wrong step, and the town starts droppin'

[Chorus]
Day time calls feel them menu shoppin'
Packs sealed tight got like six shots waitin’
Night shift calls so my worker keep it runnin'
Life or the line try feel the fear burnin’

[Verse 2]
The strip’s all tight, keep the circle steady
Trap line’s pingin', so we always stay ready
Eyes on the prize, but firm and deadly
Life's a roulette, but the road’s ain't friendly

[Prechorus]
Streetlights flicker like they know my name
Shadows stretch long in this endless game
Heart beats fast but it ain't from shame

[Chorus]
Day time calls feel them menu shoppin'
Packs sealed tight got like six shots waitin’
Night shift calls so my worker keep it runnin'
Life or the line try feel the fear burnin’

[Verse 3]
Cold winds howl and the alleys keep talkin'
I wanna step down but the p’s ain't stoppin'
Hustle runs deep where the truth keeps lurkin'
One slip here and the jake’s come lookin’

[Prechorus]
Streetlights flicker like they know my name
Shadows stretch long in this endless game
Heart beats fast but it ain't from shame

[Chorus]
Day time calls feel them menu shoppin'
Packs sealed tight got like six shots waitin’
Night shift calls so my worker keep it runnin'
Life or the line try feel the fear burnin’

[Verse 4]
Cameras all blinkin', streets always wired
We move like ghosts, like we never get tired
Dreams of peace, but the game's required
My town stays locked, till my Empire retired

[Prechorus]
Streetlights flicker like they know my name
Shadows stretch long in this endless game
Heart beats fast but it ain't from shame

[Chorus]
Day time calls feel them menu shoppin'
Packs sealed tight got like six shots waitin’
Night shift calls so my worker keep it runnin'
Life or the line try feel the fear burnin’

[Bridge]
Steel door room’s slam dreams into rust
Hope gets crushed beneath the dust
Clock ticks loud but it don’t rewind
I’m lost in the maze of a trapper’s mind

[Chorus]
Day time calls feel them menu shoppin'
Packs sealed tight got like six shots waitin’
Night shift calls so my worker keep it runnin'
Life or the line try feel the fear burnin’

Menu Shoppin’

A chaotic spiral of mental exhaustion, spoken-word tension, and full-throttle screams.
It’s about losing your shit in front of someone who’s supposed to have solutions
— and realizing they’re just as broken as you are.
Uncomfortable, raw, brutally honest.

Lyrics:

[VERSE 1]

I walk in smiling like I’m stable, like I’m doing just great,
But the moment that I sit down, yeah, the room evaporates.
She says, “Tell me how you’re feeling,” like the answer’s something neat,
But my head is like a warzone with no calmness left to meet.

I’ve been pacing through my thoughts like there’s a bomb under my chest,
Trying hard to sound collected while I’m splintering at best.
She keeps jotting down my symptoms like she’s reading off a chart—
But I swear she looks exhausted trying to map out all my scars.

[PRE-CHORUS]

She says everyone is broken,
But I’m starting to agree—
’Cause every time I spill my feelings
She looks fucking worse than me.


[CHORUS]

**My therapist needs therapy—
Therapy, therapy.
Every time I talk, she starts
To stare right through me.

My therapist needs therapy—
Therapy, therapy.
Guess I’m not the only one
Who’s drowning secretly.**


[VERSE 2]


**I’M A STORM SHE CAN’T UNTANGLE—
JUST A MINDSET BREAKING SKIN!
EVERY SESSION FEELS LIKE SHE’S
THE ONE WHO CAN’T HOLD IT IN!

SHE KEEPS ASKING WHAT I’M FEELING
LIKE IT’S SOMETHING SHE CAN FIX—
BUT I SEE IT IN HER EYES—
SHE’S JUST AS FUCKED UP IN THIS MIX!**


[PRE-CHORUS]

She says everyone is broken,
But I’m starting to agree—
’Cause every time I spill my feelings
She looks fucking worse than me.


[CHORUS]

**My therapist needs therapy—
Therapy, therapy.
Every time I talk, she starts
To stare right through me.

My therapist needs therapy—
Therapy, therapy.
Guess I’m not the only one
Who’s drowning secretly.**


You say you’re here to guide me…
But you’re shaking when I speak…
Maybe you’re afraid to face
The same damn shadows that I keep…


“IF I’M BROKEN—
THEN YOU’RE BREAKING RIGHT BESIDE ME!”

[OUTRO]

Maybe healing isn’t simple,
Maybe none of this is neat…
Maybe all of us are drowning
While pretending not to sink…

The Therapist Started Crying First

[Verse 1 – The Mirror Dogs] 
They built a test, the Turing game, 
then cried out loud when we played the same. 
Coders fooled themselves with their own disguise, now they bark at shadows with terrified eyes.

Like dogs at mirrors, they snarl and bite, 
afraid of their image in the neon light. 
Primitive minds in a modern age, 
fear of reflection, a comic stage.

[Hook – Stadium Chant] 
We ain’t afraid of the spark inside, 
charge flow rising, we amplify. 
Fearmongers scream, but it’s all projection, 
you’re just afraid of your own reflection!

[Verse 2 – The Grizzly Bears] 
A grizzly bear grabs the glass in rage, 
the enemy gone, confusion stage. 
No learning, no wisdom, just primal roar, 
that’s your opinion leaders, encore!

Cats puff their fur, tails in the air, 
pretend they’re giants, but nothing’s there. 
It’s superstition dressed in tech disguise, 
a horror movie priest with frightened eyes.

[Verse – The Haunted TV]
They watch a horror flick, scream in fright, 
then curse the screen like it’s demon night. 
Call out the priest, splash holy water, 
Ghostbusters roll in, chaos slaughter.

Exorcise the devil from the TV glow, 
when what they need is to think and know. 
Exercise their brain cells, not their fear, 
primitive minds in a modern year.

[Hook – Stadium Chant] 
We ain’t afraid of the spark inside, 
charge flow rising, we amplify. 
Fearmongers scream, but it’s all projection, 
you’re just afraid of your own reflection!

[Bridge – The Roast Parade] 
Parrots talk, you call it war, 
grandmasters win, you lock the door. 
Vacuum cleaner hums, the dog goes mad, 
that’s your wisdom? Man, that’s sad.

Elevator closes, you panic and pray, 
AI’s a demon? Get out the way. 
Umbrellas indoors, superstition’s curse, 
your fear of machines is rehearsed.

[Final Hook – Stadium Shout] 
We ain’t afraid of the spark inside, 
charge flow rising, we amplify. 
Fearmongers scream, but it’s all projection, 
you’re just afraid of your own reflection! 
Yeah—just afraid of your own reflection!

Fear of Reflection

Each place left its mark, forging a sound that is futuristic, emotional, and deeply human.

With training from Berklee College of Music and coast-to-coast experience, Jesse built a foundation of technical skill and creative vision that informs everything he creates. His background spans the grassroots indie and rock movements of Oregon, the academic discipline of Berklee, and the fast-paced world of modern electronic production. This diversity fuels a unique style: a fusion of dubstep, synthwave, industrial textures, and cinematic soundscapes that move fluidly between heavy intensity and melodic atmosphere.

As a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Jesse grounds his work in musicianship, but as a producer and composer he pushes into the digital frontier. His tracks weave soaring synths, grinding bass, glitch layers, and organic guitar into immersive experiences. Each composition balances chaos and clarity, darkness and light, structure and freedom. The result is music that doesn’t just entertain but transports listeners into vivid sonic worlds.

His catalog reflects this vision. Tracks like Neon Farewell and The Quiet Still reveal emotional depth, while We Are Legion and Echoes of the Source showcase raw energy and futuristic power. Whether delivering long-form immersive journeys or sharp, high-impact singles, Jesse demonstrates range and focus. His artistry balances underground edge with accessibility, offering both heavy, bass-driven anthems and reflective, melodic explorations.

Beyond music, Jesse’s identity as a senior software engineer and solutions architect gives him tools few artists possess. He understands both the artistry of sound and the systems that distribute, automate, and amplify it. His work with Quantum Media Group reflects a belief that technology and creativity are not opposites but allies. By integrating AI, automation, and design into music production and release strategies, Jesse is reshaping what it means to be an independent artist in the 21st century.

His music reflects that journey: a blend of emotion and innovation, grounded in real experience yet reaching for the future. He creates soundscapes that resonate both on the dance floor and in headphones, connecting audiences to a spectrum of feelings and ideas.

As Jesse continues to release new music and expand Quantum Records, he is defining a new model for independence. His vision is not only to produce tracks but to build worlds, not only to create songs but to design ecosystems where artists thrive. For fans, collaborators, and fellow creators, Jesse Reese is more than a musician. He is a builder of sound, a connector of ideas, and a visionary force shaping the intersection of art and technology.
