Chains in my Throat

Lead single from our upcoming debut album PATHOS out 12/25

Lyrics:
He said his name like it still meant skin,
Asked for help with a nervous grin.
Told me he worked here, “just a tech,”
Didn’t see the wires in his neck.
Thought he was dying, “can’t feel my legs,”
Didn’t see the steel, the rust, the dregs.
Told me to find a phone, make a call —
But I didn’t know what would make him fall.

There was a switch, there was a hum.
And then the scream broke through my numb.

He screamed like a man, not a machine,
Cried out like blood still ran between.
Metal groaned, but the voice was real,
A sound no circuit’s meant to feel.
I pulled the cord, I made it hurt,
Thought it was wires, not a soul in dirt.
But I heard his pain, I knew that sound
He screamed like a man, I shut him down.

He kept asking, “What the hell’s going on?”
Didn’t see the body he’d become.
Said his ID, said his name,
Didn’t know he’d lost the game.
I thought: “He’s just a voice in steel”,
But he cried out like it all was real.
Not code, not noise, not just design,
But agony, confused and blind.

He screamed like a man, not a machine,
Cried out like blood still ran between.
Metal groaned, but the voice was real,
A sound no circuit’s meant to feel.
I pulled the cord, I made it hurt,
Thought it was wires, not a soul in dirt.
But I heard his pain, I knew that sound
He screamed like a man, I shut him down.

He screamed like a man, I shut him down

What are we when the pain remains but the flesh is gone?
What am I if I flipped that switch and still moved on?

He asked me to stop., I didn’t understand
He begged me to stop, I still had my hand on the switch

He screamed like a man, I can’t unhear,
The echo's lodged behind my fear
I didn’t see a soul in chrome,
Now I carry him in every bone
I turned the power, turned the key,
And all that pain came back to me
No gods, no signs, no helping hand,
Just a voice that screamed like a man

He thought he was human,
Maybe he still was

And I didn’t ask.

PATHOS

STILL HUMAN
