Lyrics:
there's whispers from outside the tent
to vent
is all I have left
weapons on weapons on deck
these people aren't real
just a means to the end
instant regret
thinking descends into doing 
and doing is what I resent
they know my secret
now it dies with them

so fat over there like a pear
with a face so ugly and I bet you don't care
bout the way that they stare 
when you come into town
and your underwear are brown 
kinda wish you were dead
if you ever get married then
I hope that she dies
when you cry 
cause your face turns red
at the funeral they said
that you were sleeping with your dad
and the baby they had
came out and it was black
grabbed his chest and had a little heart attack
your mom dies in side at the sight of that
then you got home and you found out
that your cat ran away
the cancer decided 
to make its way to the brain

Happy Not Hateful

It Dies With Them

I fixed my silly computer and now I can properly record as many tracks as I want and not have the thing crash on me!!  It's been a while since I've recorded my guitars at any length and this was just a little bit of fun.    

Produced and Written by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I was staring at the window
Watching headlights
On the cars as they drove past
Thought of the days how they went so fast
Another racer on the street being so outclassed
Cause these young
Have fun
Living now or never

I couldn’t lay there any longer
Packed the toothbrush
In a rush and brushed my hair
I left a note on the second stair
It said,  I’m not running
I am trying to beathe in air
Cause these lungs
Once young
Could feel a whole lot better

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it because
I did it for love
I did it for love

I was living for the long run
Working every god damn hour
To chase a song
You once said that dream
Was far too gone
So I sang to the stars
And the clouds
And the heavens

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it because
I did it for love
I did it for love

Instrumental

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it because
I did it for love
I did it for love

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it because
I did it for love
I did it for love

I Did It For Love

Working Title: `Kopfsalat`

SunDance

A song to connect the listener to the experiences of the Holocaust, leading the listener to a spiritual ending reminding them of the survivors, along with the generations that have come from then, who will keep memories of what transpired going on into the future.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up
pure souls
It’s time to go

Goodbye
to light
Into darkness you go

[Verse 2]
Move quick
Get on
Squeeze in, real close

The door
will shut
Into darkness you go

[Verse 3]
Welcome
For now
This place is home

The gates
will shut
Into darkness you go

[Verse 4]
Please eat
This bread
Rest here, sleep close

The room
Is dim
Into darkness you go

[Verse 5]
You’ve worked
All day
Let’s clean, follow

The doors
will shut
Into darkness you go


[Verse 6]
Goodbye
To dark
Your spirits free

New souls
Are born
From light they see

Cross The Line

Cross The Line - remaster 2025

After the existential crisis of The Judgement, I wanted something soothing and comforting to round things off, and I could think of no better for that than Americana roots rock. The words are a mash-up from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.

21. The World

Broken Silence is the moment the mask cracks—and the voice behind Silent at Twelve finally speaks. This album is a raw unveiling of the pain, resilience, and memories that shaped the silence at midnight. Each track is a confession, a confrontation, a step toward reclaiming the story that was buried beneath years of quiet.
From the spectral ache of abandonment to the fragile strength of survival, Broken Silence blends atmospheric soundscapes with poetic lyricism, drawing listeners into a world where every note carries the weight of a truth once too painful to name. Skeletons walk beside broken promises. Mist hangs over memories. And through it all, the voice that was Silent at Twelve rises—not to scream, but to sing.
This is not just an album. It’s a reckoning. A release. A beginning.

Take Back the Past

Floodline

Concept
The Hunger is the moment the Abyss reveals its true face.
After being lured by familiar voices and memories, the protagonist finally sees the entity that has been stalking him since the moment he crossed the threshold.
It is not a creature of flesh or bone, but a vast, ancient intelligence made of shadow, instinct, and need.
It shapes itself from fear.
It learns from longing.
It feeds on broken hearts and the pieces of the self left unguarded.
“The Hunger” is not just something in the Abyss.
It is the Abyss.
The soundscape is suffocating, immense, and relentless — the embodiment of something that has waited ages for a soul to wander too far from the light.
Visual Concept
The cover art depicts a lone figure facing a colossal shadow-beast, its glowing eyes burning like coals through the darkness.
Volumetric blue lighting reveals only hints of its form:
curling tendrils, jagged silhouettes, a shape too large and too wrong to fully comprehend.
The man stands small, illuminated only by the faint glow around him — a spark of resistance against a world designed to consume him.
This is the instant where fear becomes revelation.
Place in the Album Narrative
At this point in THE ABYSS:
The protagonist has seen memories, ghosts, and illusions.
He has survived predators and temptations.
He has followed a voice he hoped was real.
Now he encounters the truth behind it all:
a being that hungers not for flesh, but for identity, longing, and hope.
This track is the turning point where survival becomes a question of will rather than escape.
For the Listener
Listen in the quiet between notes.
Feel the air tighten around each breath.
Let the weight of the dark press inward.
This is not just a monster.
This is the Abyss…
and it is hungry.

The Hunger

Modes About Me is a genre-defying trio from Niagara Falls, New York, known for blending alternative rock, pop, hip hop, and acoustic elements into a cohesive, emotionally charged sound.

The project began as a solo creative outlet for Mark, who started writing and producing music that didn’t fit neatly into one category. What started as a personal side project soon grew into something bigger when he recruited his childhood friends, Dave and Miller, both long-time musicians who shared his passion for experimentation and emotional honesty.

Together, the trio shaped a sound that thrives on contrast — heavy yet melodic, structured yet fluid, vulnerable yet powerful. Their music draws inspiration from the energy of Niagara Falls and the emotions of modern life, exploring themes of self-discovery, mental health, love, and resilience.

Modes About Me’s songs shift naturally between genres — from guitar-driven rock and soulful acoustic moments to rhythm-infused hip hop textures — while always staying true to their core identity. With every release, the band continues to push the boundaries of what alternative music can be, carving a distinct sound that’s deeply human and refreshingly original.
