hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Verse 2
Letters bled,
Ink like rain.
Words we said—
Now just stain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Bridge
Ash and thread,
Bones and dust.
What we fed
Turned to rust.
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Final Chorus
Echoed cries,
Still remain.
Ghosts arise—
Whisper pain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,

Paper chains

Evil, Dark, Grotesque

[Verse]
Out where the stars forget their names
Where silence hums like electric flames
A breathless void
No up
No down
The cosmos wears an endless crown

[Chorus]
At the edge of the universe
Where time lets go
Where the light gets tired
Moving slow
It's a whisper
It's a scream
It's the edge of every dream

[Verse 2]
A thousand echoes
None my own
Gravity feels like a stepping stone
The dark is soft
It holds my face
In this untamed
Endless space

[Prechorus]
No maps
No signs
Just this sky
Am I falling
Or will I fly

[Chorus]
At the edge of the universe
Where time lets go
Where the light gets tired
Moving slow
It's a whisper
It's a scream
It's the edge of every dream

[Bridge]
No walls
No ceiling
Just the abyss
Every star feels like a stolen kiss
Am I the only one out here
Or does the void know how to hear

The Edge of the Universe

[Verse]
The fragile line that's often crossed
A quiet scream
A heavy cost
Between the light
The shadow's toss
I stand here still
But feel so lost

[Chorus]
Fragile line
It's paper-thin
One step out
One step in
Fragile line
Where do you go
The highs
The lows
The ebb
The flow

[Verse 2]
The dark's a whisper
The light's a shout
A circle spins
The in the out
I chase the truth
It turns about
What’s in my hands just fades to doubt

[Prechorus]
Do we break or do we bend
Is this the start or is it the end

[Chorus]
Fragile line
It's paper-thin
One step out
One step in
Fragile line
Where do you go
The highs
The lows
The ebb
The flow

[Bridge]
A tightrope strung across the sky
I tiptoe slow
But don't know why
The stars above
They start to cry
A fragile line that won't comply

Fragile Line

This track is the scream I never got to let out, the truth I wasn’t allowed to speak. It’s a song for every survivor who was told to stay quiet, who was made to feel small, broken, or invisible. “Name in the Fire” lit the match—this is the aftermath. Stronger. Louder. Unapologetic. Every lyric is a scar I’ve learned to wear with pride. This is for the ones who made it out and for the ones still fighting. You’re not alone.

The Fire I Became

Impermanence

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Before It’s Real

Heavily inspired by the mood, structure, and style of “Zombie” with socially conscious lyrics and a raw emotional charge.

Echoes of Silence

Faint Of Heart

[Verse]
You're self-absorbed like a blackhole
Swallowing stars to fill the cold
You love the mirror truth be told
It's your gospel your fool's gold

[Chorus]
You love yourself like no one else
No room for me no room for help
You're the echo in your empty shell
Blackhole ego dragging me to hell

[Verse 2]
Your voice the only sound you hear
Drowns out the world makes it disappear
A shadow king with a crown unclear
But your kingdom's built on fear

[Chorus]
You love yourself like no one else
No room for me no room for help
You're the echo in your empty shell
Blackhole ego dragging me to hell

[Bridge]
I can't compete with your reflection
Lost in the maze of your affection
Your gravity pulls without direction
I'm just a ghost in your collection

[PreChorus]
you are a pathetic mess I avoid to be clear 
you're narcissistic cult of one ain't happening here

[Chorus]
You love yourself like no one else
No room for me no room for help
You're the echo in your empty shell
Blackhole ego dragging me to hell
