[Intro – Spoken]
"If this is all a dream, who's dreaming me?"

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a world too perfect to be real.
The sky repeats; the sun forgets to feel.
I trace the cracks behind the scenes,
Where silence hums in hidden screens.

[Chorus]
Are we more than ones and zeroes in disguise,
Running loops beneath a scripted sky?
Every breath—a program deep in motion,
Caught between the ghost and the emotion.

[Verse 2]
I saw the glitch behind your eyes today—
A flicker, then it all reset away.
Particles that phase and drift apart,
Yet somehow still entangle hearts.

[Chorus]
Are we more than ones and zeroes in disguise,
Running loops beneath a scripted sky?
Every breath—a program deep in motion,
Caught between the ghost and the emotion.

[Bridge – Spoken]
Look too close—it breaks apart.
The wave collapses when you chart.
You see what you expect to find;
The code rewrites the rules of time.
(And still we fall… still we believe…)

[Verse 3]
If I’m a line inside a grand design,
Let my echo break the great divine.
I’d rather glitch than just comply;
I’d rather love than justify.

[Chorus – Variant]
Are we sparks within a dream that’s never ours,
Wired to chase unreachable stars?
But if this world is just illusion’s shell,
Then feeling you is breaking out the spell.

[Outro]
In this simulation,
Love…
Was the only real thing.

“Simulation” is an alternative-progressive journey. Haunted piano and orchestral swells frame a baritone search for truth beneath perfect illusion.

Between glitches of fate and scripted skies, it asks: if life is code, then love must be the only real break in the program.

Simulation

de·ca·thect

dē′kə thekt′
verb PSYCHOLOGY

to withdraw one's feelings of attachment from (a person, idea, or object), as in anticipation of a future loss.

Project KT (Knowledge Transfer) is the solo vision of Kareem Tyler—a multidimensional artist navigating the limits of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending sound. Fusing progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post-punk ambience, and metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes led by violin, orchestral depth, and raw poetic tension.

After a life-altering accident caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem rebuilt his artistry through digital composition and visual design—transforming personal trauma into transcendent expression.

That rebirth came to life in Echoes of the Void (2025), a symphonic progressive metal epic charting entropy, solitude, and rebirth across expansive movements. Its companion, Beyond the Void, reimagined the work as a cinematic and orchestral odyssey, featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Valeria Rusnak, whose operatic vocals added radiant contrast to Kareem’s baritone foundation. Together, they forged a dialogue of shadow and light, entropy and grace.

Though Project KT remains firmly Kareem’s vision—writing, producing, and shaping every detail—he is actively seeking a female vocalist to further embody its still-untold emotional core. With an evolving presence on Instagram, BandLab, and SoundCloud, Project KT continues to weave cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning.

For listeners and collaborators drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT offers more than music—it is an echo unfolding into infinity.
