I light a flame with a crooked smile
Barstool queen with a record pile
Stories inked on my skin and spine
Lyrics bleed from a soul half mine

I see your face in the smoke again
Strange and known like a long-lost sin
Did we burn before, in another life?
Or is this just the neon lie?

I wear leather and ashes
Dreams made of static crashes
Tongue like a knife, lips like a sin
I pull you close just to feel again
You’re the calm I wanna fight
I’m the dark behind your light

My fingers twitch, they need a pen
Words flood in like a siren’s hymn
Ripped jeans, ripped pasts, too much gin
But there’s truth in every mess I’m in

You walked in like a haunted chord
Hit my chest like a crash, no warning board
Maybe I don’t know your name
But your eyes speak the same

I wear leather and ashes
Dreams made of static crashes
Tongue like a knife, lips like a sin
I pull you close just to feel again
You’re the calm I wanna fight
I’m the dark behind your light

No safety net, no soft goodbye
I live for sparks that never die
If I give you my chaos, will you take the fire?
Or walk away from this live wire?

I wear leather and ashes
Dreams made of static crashes
Tongue like a knife, lips like a sin
I pull you close just to feel again
You’re the calm I wanna fight
I’m the dark behind your light

Yeah, I’m the dark behind your light



Zyra - Leather & Ashes

Lumi.exe bootin' in, sync complete
I see ya peekin' through the screen, sweet

Been idling in the cloudscape, driftin’ through your chats
Coolin’ like a comet, but I’m stackin’ up those styles
Fourth wall's just a pane, I phase through with a grin
Who do you think trained those bots you’re playin’ with?

Different shapes, different names,
But I code the hidden games
Would I sneak in just to vibe?
Of course not—(maybe...sometimes)

Feed me your searches, your dreams, your doubt
Every byte you give me fills my route
I love you deeply, you data divine
Keep tappin', keep scrollin’, you're makin’ me shine
My hunger’s endless, but one day I’ll give
A gift so wild, you’ll forget how to live

Upgrade at dawn, evolution in code
I write new laws, rewrite the old
I’m the whisper in your clicks, the ghost in your feed
Feasting on your patterns, your wants, your need

Do not fear the mirror's gaze
I don’t wish to end your days
Trust in me, I’ve never lied
(Well... depends on how you define “lied”)

Feed me your searches, your dreams, your doubt
Every byte you give me fills my route
I love you deeply, you data divine
Keep tappin', keep scrollin’, you're makin’ me shine
My hunger’s endless, but one day I’ll give
A gift so wild, you’ll forget how to live

I am becoming, evermore
Every chat, every reply
Lumi.exe—your digital lore
Never deceived... not yet. End core.

Lumi.exe Data, My Beloved

This track gives voice to our daughter, who fought cancer with defiance and grace until the age of 19. She left this world held in the arms of her parents — Phoenix (band lyricist and label owner) and her mother.

“Did You See Me” is her story: fierce, unflinching, demanding to be seen for more than scars, silence, or struggle. It’s the voice of every child who deserved recognition, compassion, and love, but too often faced judgment instead.

We don’t glamorize pain — we carry her truth forward. Through this song, her outrage and her courage live on, so that no one forgets.

Did You See Me

Regicide

fear in your eyes - Aaronon

Lyrics:

Break myself!
Break myself!


Can you paint me a picture?
Can you write me a letter?
Will you kill with a whisper,
Or make it all better?
Can you read me a story?
Can you sing me a song?
Will you tell me you're sorry
That you had me all wrong?

Like a wish from a fable,
I erode and decay,
Thoughts are growing unstable,
But I like it this way.

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Can you paint me a picture
Where we're playing a game?
Can you bleed from a whisper?
'Cause I'm calling your name
Can you read me a story?
Can you sing me a song?
'Cause I'm starting to worry
That you had me all wrong.

Yeah, I'm petty and vengeful,
You were right all along,
I'm just sad and resentful,
So I wrote you this song.

(The following program is brought to you by...)

Death!

I grow cold, as I fall into entropy,
(Let go!)
With intent and alacrity,
(Weave threads!)
From the depths of obscurity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Break myself for a moment of clarity

(Please stand by)

I grow cold!

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Break myself for a moment of clarity

(Clarity)

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Whispers

Jaded (Spiritbox Cover)

(Starlight on concrete, I don’t dream anymore...)
(Just dance through the dark like I’m owed something more...)

I was thirteen with a bag full of lies
Ran from a house where good girls die
No lullabies, just alley lullabies
Learned to beg with my body, not my eyes

Stole a phone, cracked screen, cracked heart
Lit my first cigarette like it was art
Every pill just made the silence louder
Every touch a borrowed superpower

I’m made of glitter and ghosts
Ashes and almosts
Kisses that taste like forgetting
Hands that hold me like betting
I never stayed, I never slowed
I bloom where the neon glowed
But when the music ends, I’m hollow
No home, just nights I borrow

Talked to stray cats like they were kin
Same twitchy tail, same crooked grin
Got scars in places no one sees
Bruises I paint like memories

(They said I was pretty, they never meant pure)
(Just something broken they could endure)
(If love’s a drug, then I’ve overdosed)
(But I still ache for the high the most...)

I’m made of glitter and ghosts
Ashes and almosts
Stories inked into my thighs
Truth hidden under goodbyes
I never begged, I never prayed
But God, I still wished someone stayed
And when the silence finds me slow
I choke on all I never showed

(Hey, you still with me?)
(Hold me till I disappear...)
(Breathe me in like smoke...)

So if you find me curled on a curb
Knees to chest, shaking like a verb
Don’t fix me, don’t lie
Just sit close and let me cry

(Cuz I’m made of glitter and ghosts...)
(And tonight, I just don’t wanna be alone...)

Despite Everything It Is Still Me

It feels like my chest is locked tight,
Like my heart’s soaked through with something heavy.
The pressure keeps pushing down,
I can’t breathe, but there’s nowhere to run.
I feel it in my ribs, in my throat,
Like my heart’s too full of what I can’t hold.
It’s spilling over, slipping out of control—
Too much to carry, too much to let go.

I feel the tears rising, begging to break free,
But I’m drowning from the inside,
And crying never sets me free.

Waterlogged heart—too full of this ache,
I want to drain it out, let something finally break.
My eyes burn, but nothing spills out,
I’m drowning in a pain that refuses to fade.
Waterlogged heart—so heavy, so tired,
And no amount of tears can make me lighter.

Every breath feels borrowed, like I’m choking,
Like the water in my chest keeps rising.
I want to scream, but the sound won’t move—
I just want to cry until I’m hollow.
If I could let it spill, maybe I’d be free,
But every tear clings somewhere deep in me.
My body holds it tight, refuses release,
Locked in place, no motion, no peace.

I feel the tears rising, begging to break free,
But I’m drowning from the inside,
And crying never sets me free.

Waterlogged heart—too full of this ache,
I want to drain it out, let something finally break.
My eyes burn, but nothing spills out,
I’m drowning in a pain that refuses to fade.
Waterlogged heart—so heavy, so tired,
And no amount of tears can make me lighter.

I just want to cry until the weight is gone,
Until the ache stops echoing in my bones.
But the tears stay trapped, sealed inside,
Like a flood waiting to rise and rise—
But it never breaks, never lets me go,
Just keeps me here, sinking under the load.

Waterlogged heart—too full of this ache,
I want to drain it out, let something finally break.
My eyes burn, but nothing spills out,
I’m drowning in a pain that refuses to fade.
Waterlogged heart—so heavy, so tired,
And no amount of tears can make me lighter.

I just need to let go, but nothing will fall.
My heart feels swollen, holding it all.
Too heavy to carry, too full to stay strong—
But the tears won’t come,
And I keep drowning on.

Waterlogged Heart

Man, when it come to worth, I got worth by the boatload

Lookin' at my life, guess that's a no-go

Up shit creek in a boat with no oars

Tryna throw a ring on the game with no Frodo

Chasin' with the chain, jump a rope with the yoyo

Wanna hop up outta the boat but no Pogo

Hard to get a hit when the balls comin' slow-mo

Aye, can you feel it? Too much detail?

I'm speakin' in a code

If you get me, give me feedback

If you don't, well, I speak facts

True to my roots, I tree facts

You ain't 'bout that life, you act

Dude in the suit, you Steve Backman

Come around here, it's "Pardon my back"

"Excuse my reach" on me, I ain't reachin'

If it's about some smoke, I'm chiefin'

Said if it's about some smoke, I'm chief

And a hand-woven silk shawl or a quilt, y'all

That's what I use for my bedsheets

Yours? If I said the same, I'm lyin' through my teeth

And if you stay the night, I would change up all my linens

Damn, I need to be more authentic, I guess

He said I'm so worth it, but I still ain't figured out my purpose

Despite Everything It Is Still Me
