An ambient trap/wave EP. The most cathartic project I’ve made so far. I started making this back in April while trying to get out of a deep writer’s block I was in after finishing my album “Vega.” which was only compounded greatly due to COVID. And just as I was on the cusp of breaking through that block, the killings by the police and protests erupted in May. All the anger I had for this country and the police put me back in that block. And I don’t hold anything against that as there are much bigger and more important things to worry about than my music.

I had so much hate and hopelessness for this world that I could not create anything though. But learning from history that art can grow even in the worst times brought a new drive and fire in me. I don’t want this horrid world to win and destroy my creative spirit. I found so much inspiration in the communities across our country that came together to stand against these evils. Communities and people that continue to rage on against injustice at this very moment.

What I find interesting is that I already had the title of this project written down before all of this. If anything, I take it as a sign. Outside of its metallurgical uses, a “crucible” also means a severe trial in which something new is forged.

What that “new” is exactly, I don’t know. But what I do know is that this year has forever changed my views on why I create. This EP is a reflection of all those feelings.

I hope you all enjoy this project! It was a hell of a journey to make it. Love you all! 😊❤️

And as always, abolish the police, ALL black lives matter, and fuck this government.✌️

this one is straight from my heart <3 thank you

lyrics:

Pieces of my life
Shattered dreams that cut like knives
Are cleaving out my heart
I got bloodied hands cut up and scarred

My mind is always left in fray
I'm falling just to get away
Wondering where it went all wrong
Wishing that you'd stay, that you'd stay

I cannot find the words to save my soul
I cannot find the words that'll make me whole

Starting at the wall
A voiceless, drunk, who would not call
To anyone for help
I can't stand the person that I've become

I thought I knew which way to go
I traveled on the road I'd known
Waiting for a sign
But there was nothing there for me, there for me

I cannot find the words to save my soul
I cannot find the words that'll make me whole
I cannot find the words to save my soul
I cannot find the words that'll make me whole

It’s been interesting exploring this lyrical side of my music. music has always been therapeutic to me, but vocalizing what I feel has been fun and cathartic. I feel like I’ve been at a crossroad this whole year. What I want to do with my life, what I want to achieve. Before music, I thought I knew what I wanted to be, but then that all fell apart and I started doing music as a hobby, but then that grew and changed into what it is now, and now things feel possible now. But I know how insane this path is and that there are zero guarantees. It feels so chaotic. I feel like I’m just hanging on for dear life.

Well, anyway lol this is a song that distills all those thoughts. I hope y’all like and can maybe resonant with it! My favorite way to listen to this song is in the car driving fast on the highway. It made me feel alive ✌️

Really big thank you to @kimsaesol for making the cover art! This song sat shelved too long cause I couldn’t find cover art and Sam really came in clutch 🙏

I’m always fascinated with death so that’s where my mind went. In a weird way, it’s how I see my music. The deeper I go, the more I put my heart and soul into this, I feel like I’m digging my own grave in a way.

lyrics:

I dug a grave, a hole shaped like shit
The stones I placed, not even worth my spit
A wreath I laid had crumbled to
The dust I breathed while in my room
To Death I prayed she's finally here
She walked to me and said, "have no fear."

Cause I'm lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave
Lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave

The day has come, I hunger for the end
The bell that's rung, I can't unhear the noise
A heart that's heavy with my fears
A hollow eye filled up with tears
I called for you and only heared
"Don't cry my love I'm always here"

Cause I'm lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave
Lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave

Lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave
Lost but not afraid
Send me to the grave
Lost but not afraid
(send me)
Send me to the grave
Lost but not afraid
(bury me)
Send me to the grave

GRAVE
