Within The Hands

AXAXC – DEREALIZATION (FULL ALBUM)
🧠 A sonic descent into addiction, masculinity, mental collapse, and identity death.
🕳 Trapcore • Deathcore • Nu Metal • Screamo • Ambient Sludgecore

“This cell doesn’t have four walls. It has my face.”

DEREALIZATION isn’t just an album — it’s a mental event. A full-body confrontation with trauma, weed addiction, spiritual despair, fractured masculinity, and the mask of perfection.
It’s about waking up in your own life… and realizing you don’t recognize yourself.

This record is the culmination of every psychological arc from previous AXAXC albums.
Legacy tracks like “Perfect”, “Tongues of Sin”, and the remastered “End of the Line” find new meaning here — not as isolated songs, but as symptoms in a larger mental breakdown.

🧠 THEMATIC ARC:
Tracks 1–5: The high. The mask. The beginning of collapse.

Tracks 6–9: Duality of identity. Cracks in the mirror. Begging to be seen.

Tracks 10–13: Shame, sin, and spiritual erosion.

Tracks 14–17: Total breakdown → false salvation → reluctant acceptance → final breath.

🔁 LEGACY TRACKS [Derealization Cuts]:
- The Nail in the Coffin
- Perfect
- Tongues of Sin
- TABOO [Remastered – Derealization Cut]
- God is a Woman (And She's Ashamed of Me)
- The Devil Said I'm Okay
- End of The Line [Remastered – Derealization Cut]

These were written long ago, but they always belonged here.
This is where their meaning finally lands.

🩸 HIGHLIGHT TRACKS:
I Am Already Dead [Alpha v.1 & Beta v.1]: The breaking point of addiction and the fracturing of self.

- Walking Dead (P1 & P2): A weed high as synthetic salvation — until the crash. 
- Prison: A scream for release from a self-built cage.
- The Mirror Lies: Rage against the curated persona you’ve become.
- God is a Woman(And She's Ashamed Of Me): The shame of spiritual failure and feminine rejection.

💀 AUTHOR’S NOTE:
“I don't want to be here anymore — but I built this version of me for you.
The man made perfect.
The man made empty.”

This is a neurodivergent death spiral in audio form.
If you’ve ever felt broken trying to be strong…
If you’ve ever loved the high more than yourself…
If you’ve ever built a mask so strong you forgot your real face underneath…
This album is your mirror.

Someone Say My Name

Standing Tall

[INTRO]
They said you were fine…
They said you’d sleep it off…
But I knew…
I fucking knew something was wrong…

[VERSE 1]
Cold floor, blank stare, lights too dim
Your name stuck on the edge of my skin
I called, you never fucking moved
And the silence in that room was rude
They could’ve helped
They could’ve stayed
But they watched from the shadows
And fucking walked away
Left you breathing slow and weak
Like your life didn’t mean a fucking thing
What kind of world just lets that happen
Then shrugs it off like “shit just happens”
Your lips were blue
Your hands were cold
And I was screaming at God
“You fucking stole her soul”

[PRE-CHORUS]
You weren’t trash
You weren’t lost
You were sick in a world that counts the cost
And they chose comfort over your life
Now I’m choking on the afterlife

[CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO FUCKING DIE
LIKE YOU WERE NOTHING
LIKE YOU DIDN’T FUCKING TRY
I WOULD’VE RIPPED THE SKY APART
JUST TO MAKE YOUR HEART BEAT ONE MORE TIME
THEY LEFT YOU THERE
LIKE YOU WERE ALREADY DEAD
NOW YOUR NAME IS JUST
A SCREAM IN MY FUCKING HEAD

[VERSE 2]
You were drowning and nobody cared
Just another body, just another stare
I showed up late to a nightmare
And found your ghost hanging in the air
I keep replaying the scene in my head
Every word I wish I would’ve said
Every sign I missed, every lie I bought
Higher the love, harder the drop
I should’ve stayed
I should’ve known
But this fucked up world lets people die alone
Now your clothes still smell like you
And that’s the cruelest fucking thing they could do

[BREAKDOWN]
You didn’t choose to be this way
You were just trying to numb the pain
But the pain took more than it gave
And now you’re just a ghost I cannot save
I’m not mad at you
I’m mad at the world
I’m mad at the drugs
I’m mad at the ones who turned and shrugged

[CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO FUCKING DIE
AND NOW I’M THE ONE
LEFT ALIVE
TO CARRY YOUR NAME
TO CARRY THIS SCAR
A LIVING MEMORIAL
OF WHO YOU FUCKING WERE
YOU WERE MORE THAN YOUR ADDICTION
MORE THAN YOUR PAIN
NOW I’M SCREAMING AT THE SKY
GOING FUCKING INSANE

[BRIDGE]
If I could trade places, I’d do it tonight
If I could rewrite wrong to right
But life don’t work like that, I know
So I carry you wherever I go
In my veins
In my chest
In the shattered pieces of what’s left

[FINAL CHORUS]
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LEFT YOU TO DIE
I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE LOVED
EVEN IF YOU COULDN’T SEE
NOW THIS SONG IS ALL THAT’S LEFT OF WE
AND I’LL SCREAM YOUR NAME
UNTIL MY LAST BREATH TOO
BECAUSE THIS FUCKED UP WORLD
DOESN’T DESERVE YOU

[OUTRO]
You should still be here…
And I’ll never forgive them for that…

I Can't Believe They Left you to Fucking Die

NeverWake covers a lot of ground between Rock and Metal. They have been described as “smashing Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium together.” Their style is a sinew of melodic vocals and dark guitar harmonies overtop a heavily distorted foundation. Through breakdowns and shredding leads underneath an eerie “burtonesque” theme, they strive to unite the genres they cover. NeverWake released their debut full-length album "VITALITY" in August 2011. Since then their online presence has rapidly grown from a local 2,000 fans to an international 87,000 fans. On Halloween of 2012 they released their brand new single “Cut You Down”. In just 2 years the self-managed group has taken a large step into the industry by shooting photos with experts such as Jeremy Saffer, sharing the stage with several national acts, and releasing professional music videos.

NeverWake's second release "SleepWalker" will be coming this October. This epic piece was crafted at Innovation Studios with producer/engineer Mike Ofca and mastered under legendary engineer Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound. "SleepWalker" is an amplification of NeverWake's haunting sound, immersing the listener with more instrumental complexity, including faster riffs, technical drum patterns and harmonized melodic vocality. But there's a twist…

This is the first step into NeverWake's semi-conceptual series of albums. Unlike most concept albums, the music can be felt and understood regardless of knowing the underlying story. Each song on "Sleepwalker" is open for individual interpretation, but also has a fitting place within the script. This gives listeners a chance to enjoy the music with or without knowing the developed themes. Walk with us in October as the story comes to life.
