My Angels Will Never Return explores the boundaries of love and death-rewired through code.

He was dying. She couldn’t bear to lose him, so she uploaded his soul into a digital afterlife.

“Why’d you go?
Into the night
Was it all your soul?
Will I know it’s you?”

But longing isn’t logical. When she follows later to be with him, she finds a fragmented echo, stitched from corrupted memories and twisted by a meaningless and simulated existence.

Do angels still come when your soul never truly dies?

Would you chase love into the void, knowing it might not follow?

You'll Always Be a Human to Me

My Angels Will Never Return

woke up in a room with no color
all the walls white, can't remember a thing
every smile i gave was painted
now i'm rubbing the mirror, can't remember who i am
i poured bleach on the bed
where we used to lust
tried to clean my lungs
but i can still taste what you give


can i wash it all away?
(away... away...)
can i start a new day?
(day ..day...)
If I burn the letters, will you still stay?
if i bleach the sky the skies will forget about us

(bleach)

let it bleach the whole world...
(let it go...let it go...)
leave no trace of love or war
(don't leave anymore...)
let it bleach the whole world...
(bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...bleach it all...)


I wiped the blood off my sheets
washed the floor, deleted your traces
but somehow i still feel you on my neck
don't remember us but something's tormenting me
is your ghost the reason i'm still in pain?


let the whole world whiten...
(so that I don't feel...)
let the whole world whiten...
(so that it isn't true...)
I will be white, I will be motionless...
I will be nobody
let the whole world whiten...

… And The Rain
