got that 80s dope vibe. beautiful production.

The music got so exciting towards the end. I love it. "Her light is brief, my darkness eternal" makes it relatable. Creative!

[Verse 1]  
She says,  
It helps with the lights out.  
Her rabid glow  
Is like braille to the night.

[Verse 1 – Shift]  
She swears  
I'm a slave to the details.  
But if your life is such a big joke,  
Why should I care?

[Chorus]  
The clock is set for nine,  
But you know you're gonna make it eight,  
So that you two can take some time—  
Teach each other to reciprocate.

[Verse 2]  
She feels that my sentimental side  
Should be held with kid gloves.  
But she doesn't know  
That I left my urge in the icebox.

[Verse 2 – Shift]  
She swears  
I'm just prey for the female.  
Well then hook me up and throw me, babycakes,  
'Cause I like to get hooked.

[Chorus – Variation]  
The clock is set for nine,  
But you know you're gonna make it eight.  
All the people that you've loved—  
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.

[Chorus – Reprise] 
I've been swinging all the time.  
Think it's time I learned your way.  
I picture you and me together—  
In the jungle, it will be okay.

[Bridge]  
I'll bring you when my lifeboat  
Sails through the night—  
That is supposing that  
You don't sleep tonight.

[Verse 3]  
It's like learning a new language,  
Helps me catch up on my mind.  
If you don't bring up those lonely parts,  
This could be a good time.

[Verse 3 – Shift]  
It's like learning a new language—  
You come here to me.  
We'll collect those lonely parts  
And set them down.  
You come here to me.

[Outro]  
She says brief things,  
Her love's a pony,  
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,  
Her love's a pony,  
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,  
Her love's brief,  
My love's subliminal.

[Coda] 
She says brief things,  
Her light is brief,  
My darkness eternal.

A fractured post‑punk hymn to fleeting connection, ironic intimacy, and the ticking pulse of time.

“The Clock” is a jagged meditation on intimacy and irony, ticking through fractured verses and surreal confessions. With Interpol‑inspired guitar work and post‑punk detachment, it captures the ache of connection that never quite lands — a love that’s brief, subliminal, and always half a beat off.

The Clock

Grey Sky Blood

Give yourself a chance
Let yourself win
It's time you begin
To live
In your skin

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

It may have been tough
Before
But today
Will change
When you head out the door

Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Follow your passion
It's not a lot
So it seems

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

Accept
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

It is time
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give Yourself a Chance (Reprise)

Last summer (Remastered)

The lights blink slow on the ceiling
I fake sleep just to feel something
Your voice comes in through the static
But I know you’re not really calling

I open the door and it’s snowing
In the middle of July
The world bends in my silence
But no one asks me why

Everything I touch feels like glass
And I keep breaking in the past

I wasn’t there when it all fell down
Just a shadow on the edge of town
Left behind in a Polaroid glare
Fading fast like I was never there

I stitched stars into my sweater
So I’d feel less alone at night
But they burn holes through the fabric
Like your words through my mind

I watched the sun rise on a dead screen
Blue light washing out my dreams
I smiled in the mirror for no one
Hoping maybe it would mean something

I trace the silence in the air
Like I’m trying to prove I still care

I wasn’t there when it all fell down
Just a name in the lost and found
Echoed footsteps on a broken stair
I breathe in deep, but there's nothing there

Time is a tape stuck on rewind
I see your face but not your eyes
And every song feels like a lie
When it ends before the cry

Don’t wait for me, I’m just a glitch
In someone else’s dream
I whisper through the static hum
Like I was never seen

theres nothing there

welcome to imaginary friends. this ep aims to show more of our softer side, as always, enjoy <3

Lyrics by C Redmond
Verse 1
Saw you first in a dream
Your face in the silver light
Woke with your name on my lips
In my soul it felt so right
Chorus
But dreams are liars
And hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Verse 2
Held you close in the dark
It was real and in my hands
Then I found you in the world
And nothing went as planned
Chorus
But dreams are liars
And hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Bridge
Your love was never mine
It belongs to someone else
Lost inside a desperate wish
Talking to myself
Final Chorus / Outro
Dreams are liars
Hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Never dream again
Never dream again

Never Dream Again - Red Light EP

Thought training of trials and tribulations

In The Dark (Feat Che Paxin)

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.
