out of reach

Toxic” is a dark, hard-hitting rock anthem about the inner war we fight against ourselves—the lies we believe, the guilt we carry, and the chains we build from fear and doubt. With gritty riffs, shredding energy, and searing vocals, the track becomes a battle cry for breaking free from the toxicity we bury within.

A slow, haunting guitar builds into an explosive riff, setting a tense, moody atmosphere. The verses confront the inner critic—the true enemy—while the pre-chorus tightens like a vise before erupting into a fierce release: “Toxic! You’re poison in my veins, Toxic! Set fire to your chains.”

More than a song about toxic relationships, “Toxic” digs into the ways we hold ourselves captive and the moment we choose to rise. The bridge hits like a mantra of freedom, and the final chorus lands with raw defiance. By the end, the past is ash, and the path ahead is clean.
A cathartic, liberating track for anyone ready to face their demons and break free.

I can move a mountain
Push the earth under my feet

I get up early meet the morning
Full of expectation
Wait a bit, until I get
Complete satisfaction

If you need to find me
Look up where the air is blowing
I’m on top my kingdom

Common question asked of me
What am I doing with all my time
Spend my day sowing seeds

I can move a mountain
Push the earth under my feet
Put some distance behind me
Next mountain fill the void

Impossibility for me
If I don’t believe
Start with one step then another
I’m a million miles away
