Girl stop I wish X1 would still be with us :(

This album is for everyone who crashes the hardest when the lights go up for Christmas and the days get short and cold.

We Are But Thieves is a seasonal depression record, a winter-anguish record, and a thank-you letter to everyone who’s been with us in Year One.

We started AxAxC as an experiment:
two nobodies writing what hurt, what healed, and what we couldn’t say out loud —
while learning prompt engineering and playing with sound.

One year later, you gave us:
• 696,645 plays
• 1,134,905+ minutes listened
• 9,403 likes
• 452 new followers
• top cities like Kyiv • Minsk • Moscow • Hanau • Dnipro
and you carried tracks like Crown of Thorns, End of the Line and Transcendence way further than we expected.

This album is our way of saying thank you and “I see you” to everyone who drowns a little in the dark months.

Founding Five — 2025 Playback:
Nanem • Nhelomoloi580 • Colin Pagano • User 322501917 • NO FI$H

You five streamed us like crazy this year. You’re officially carved into AxAxC history.

Honorary Mentions / Day-One Family:
Blayvid, KAT, Coldwake (Jenny), MaxSoulBoneBlood, Vitaly, Hasti Sajadi, TheRealKingVass, Christopher Linder, Neghar B.

Thank you for riding with us, reposting us, yelling lyrics in DMs, and holding this project down when it was just weird noise in a corner of the internet.

This is for everyone dealing with SAD, depression, faith collapse, broken families, winter nights and quiet rooms:
• the ones who feel guilty for just existing,
• the ones who’ve written a 48-hour countdown in their head,
• the ones who feel “on my own” even in a crowded room,
• the ones who’ve thought “anywhere and nowhere would be better than here.”

If these songs hit you, do three things:

Save the track that feels like you.

Share it with someone who needs to know they’re not alone this winter.

Tell us in the comments which lyric you’re stealing for your heart.

Thank you for fucking with us this year.
This is the end of Year One.

NUMB

“Bow Down or Burn” is a dark, cinematic power-anthem that blends heavy piano stabs, sharp percussion, and commanding vocals into a full theatrical experience. The song channels the voice of the Devil himself — arrogant, ancient, and unstoppable — as he reminds humanity who truly pulls the strings. With explosive choruses, menacing verses, and a dramatic bridge that crashes into a triumphant finale, this track delivers a fusion of dark pop, epic orchestral energy, and modern aggressive attitude.
It’s mythic, bold, and unapologetically powerful — a showdown between ego and eternity.

Bow Down or Burn

Track Title: I Could Never Be More Happy
Artist: mhatanGRAUZAHN
[Description]

Dive into the dreamy, stream-of-consciousness world of "I Could Never Be More Happy" by mhatanGRAUZAHN. Blending shimmering Indie Pop melodies with nostalgic Synthpop textures, this track captures the raw, unfiltered feeling of stumbling into unexpected joy.

Written purely in the moment, the lyrics flow like a vivid daydream—moving from "blinding white snow" to the warmth of "red hair" and the comfort of finally feeling at home. It’s a sonic journey that blurs the lines between Alt Pop and Chillwave, perfect for listeners looking for a sound that is both "sweet as cream" and deeply emotive.

Whether you're here for the Dance Pop rhythms or the introspective storytelling, let this track take you from B to A.

👇 Lyrics: [Verse] I knew one day from B to A I’d catch her glance and feel okay

I knew that day would be cliché But sweet as cream and make me fade

Forcing it would be no good I don’t know if I ever could

No need for now, it seems somehow Even half-blind, I found my spouse

[Chorus] Open my eyes so wide Blinding white snow so fine

I could never be more happy If I ever even tried

Lived my light life so quiet Hiding all signs of sighs

Then came you and followed through What follows now is overdue

[Verse] Of all the pretty colors That are resting on my retina The mood that follows seeing red hair Takes me home and sends me far

Where I belonged, or so I thought I fought for reasons not to talk Extended nerves beyond their limit From boastful fool to faint and timid

[Chorus] Open my eyes so wide Blinding white snow so fine

I could never be more happy If I ever even tried

Lived my light life so quiet Hiding all signs of sighs

Then came you and followed through What follows now is overdue

[Percussion Break]

[Verse] I knew one day from B to A I’d catch her glance and feel okay

I knew that day would be cliché But sweet as cream and make me fade

Forcing it would be no good I don’t know if I ever could

No need for now, it seems somehow Even half-blind, I found my spouse

[Chorus] Open my eyes so wide Blinding white snow so fine

I could never be more happy If I ever even tried

Lived my light life so quiet Hiding all signs of sighs

Then came you and followed through What follows now is overdue

[Verse] Of all the pretty colors That are resting on my retina The mood that follows seeing red hair Takes me home and sends me far

Where I belonged, or so I thought I fought for reasons not to talk Extended nerves beyond their limit From boastful fool to faint and timid

[Chorus] Open my eyes so wide Blinding white snow so fine

I could never be more happy If I ever even tried

Lived my light life so quiet Hiding all signs of sighs

Then came you and followed through What follows now is overdue
