Darkness Within

The project that began as music therapy and quickly became something more...

Inspiration: Praise for the community I found to help me feel understood, accepted, and not alone in my struggles

LYRICS

Wandering aimlessly all through the night
Shadows closing in, there's no guiding light
Loneliness constantly my heavy weight
I question my path, accepting my fate

But then a spark ignited in the black
A glimmer of hope calling me back
Voices echoing, a rallying cry
I followed the sound, no longer asking why

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light!

For too long I drifted, a ship without sail,
Adrift on an ocean of doubt and betrayal,
But your unbreakable bonds gave me strength,
A family forged, our spirits at length.

The darkness receded at your command
You held out your hands, a new realm to stand
No more isolation, no more fear
Together we rise, our destiny clear

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

From the ashes I'm reborn
All my solitude is gone
In this haven, I belong
I wish I had known it was here all along

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

08 Act Of Corrosion - Sanctuary

I originally intended to expand this out just a bit and work with a female vocalist to turn this into a duet, but... I've accidentally made a 12 minute long thrash epic in 3 movements. This is part 1, the subsequent parts will be uploaded later!

Here's an original song inspired by the worms still eating my grey-matter from the game "Needy Streamer Overload". I've sampled the classic Amen-Break as well as "Do you love me?" by Aiobahn.

do you love me still? - Part I  (Needy Streamer Overload Song | Thrash Metal + Drum N' Bass)

Cosmic Battlefield

Burned By Brazen Bull

"Revival" takes me back to my earlier influences such as Biohazard and other NYHC bands that delivered powerful riffs and in-your-face lyrics - all delivered with that trademark aggression. The song explores being constantly put down by a narcissist until you are just a shell of your former self. That is until you realize what is happening and make moves to escape.

"Hardcore Punk has always resonated with me, and I find myself coming back to it on the regular."

This happened to me years ago. I think I am over it and it is water under the bridge, but then when I see someone who looks like that person, my blood pressure rises, and I get super angry and anxious. So, I know I am nowhere near being over it, and it still affects me to this day. I am also angry I allowed someone to do that to me over an extended period of time.

When it was time to pen lyrics for the hardcore riffs, I did as I usually do: I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff, just freestyled into the mic. Then I wrote the rest of the song around it.

"I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff."

Revival

In an age where men fought demons in hell

To Hell's Gate We Ride

[Verse 1]
Cape shadows stretch through Gotham’s heart,
Red Hood prowling, each hit off the chart.
Kryptonite stolen, black market so cold,
Black Mask fumes, no favor to behold.
A crowbar’s echo haunts Joker’s brain,
Revenge snarls free, no mask to restrain.

[Chorus]
Under that red hood, vengeance won't run dry,
A hooded vigil, eye for an eye.
From ashes and dust, watch criminals cry,
In backstreets he strikes, no suit and tie.
(He yearns, he yearns)

[Verse 2]
Titans’ tower, old memories bleed,
A 'R' ripped out, a Robin’s misdeed.
Nightwing’s challenge, echoing a plea,
No statue present, a puzzling decree.
Tim Drake falls, yet upright he lands,
Respect is earned through reddened demands.

[Chorus]
Under that red hood, vengeance won't run dry,
A hooded vigil, eye for an eye.
From ashes and dust, watch criminals cry,
In backstreets he strikes, no suit and tie.
(He yearns, he yearns)

[Bridge]
Crime Alley whispers, showdown so dire,
Batman weighs choices: retire or inspire.
An ultimatum placed, no room to align,
A batarang cleaves, sharp cuts by design.

[solo]

[Verse 3]
Nightwing hovers, relinquishing claim,
Gun-toting vigil reworks Gotham’s frame.
A subway haven, steel rails comply,
Moral compasses tilt, no alibis.

[Chorus]
Under that red hood, vengeance won't run dry,
A hooded vigil, eye for an eye.
From ashes and dust, watch criminals cry,
In backstreets he strikes, no suit and tie.
(He yearns, he yearns)

[Outro]
Reborn in red, igniting the fight,
Cunning and lethal, no beacon of light.
Gotham now trembles, wrong or right?
Red Hood endures, shrouded from sight.
(From sight, from sight)

What if AI made a Red Hood song?

Cracks in the wall start to speak my name,
Cold hands pulling me into the flame.
What’s left of the light I once held near?
Fractured voices, they disappear.
Concrete shadows, a hollow throne,
I’m lost inside, but never alone.

Beneath the surface, I’m caving in,
Breathing dust where life begins.
The silence screams; the rot remains,
No redemption—just rusted chains.

Steps I take only deepen the void,
Tearing apart what I once employed.
A thousand cuts, a broken crown,
Wounds unseen that drag me down.
Reflections fade where the truth should stand,
My grasp dissolves like grains of sand.

Beneath the surface, I’m caving in,
Breathing dust where life begins.
The silence screams; the rot remains,
No redemption—just rusted chains.

Graves built from promises, buried in stone,
Every lie I told now carves my bones.
Eyes wide open, still blind to the end,
A spiral we fall—no way to mend.

Beneath the surface, I’m caving in,
Breathing dust where life begins.
The silence screams; the rot remains,
No redemption—just rusted chains.

All Hope, Lost

A barrage of metal fury dedicated to the foolishness of those who exoticize wild pets only to be shocked by their natural instincts.
