“Gassed Under Protection” is a survivor’s testimony set to sonic fire.

This is the true story of Jesse — the artist behind Silk & Circuitry — who was placed under a police protection order, only to be dropped into a men’s refuge operated by Greymouth Community Mental Health, where his abusive mother had already poisoned the well.

While unconscious in that refuge, Jesse was gassed with carbon monoxide from a heater and injected with methamphetamine — an act of violence he survived. The system swept it under the rug and called it psychosis, despite zero history, multiple prior psychiatric reports, and no criminal record. His diagnosis of ADHD was weaponized against him — proof enough, apparently, to silence and discredit him.

Years later, it happened again.
A social worker was sent to Jesse’s house, again after contact with his mother. The result? Escalation, gaslighting, and punishment. The same cycle, rebooted.

Jesse has never sold his medication. He’s never touched meth. But somehow, his mother’s lies became gospel within a broken mental health system that refused to protect the very person it labeled “at risk.”

He had to threaten self-immolation just to access basic antibiotics for long-term blood poisoning. Instead of treatment, he was diagnosed with narcolepsy — again, based on fabricated suspicion, not facts.

This song is not a metaphor.
This is medical abuse, systemic failure, and the deliberate erasure of a survivor’s voice.

And now that voice has become a weapon.



This is Silk & Circuitry.
This is Jesse.
And this is war.



Gassed Under Protection

🕸️ Silk & Circuitry 🧠⚡

Welcome to the tangled thread between trauma and transcendence.
This is where music becomes a mirror—reflecting the fractures, the fight, and the fire.
We don’t just make beats. We build bridges. Between pain and purpose.

Here, recovery isn’t a quiet thing.
It’s a war cry wrapped in melody,
a healing ritual whispered through circuitry,
a love letter to those who feel too much in a world that rewards those who feel nothing.

Every track is stitched with intent:
🕯️ To hold space for the broken
⚖️ To call out control masked as care
🧬 To challenge the narcissists who built their webs in our minds
🛠️ And to offer tools—not just songs—for doing what’s right when the cost is everything.

Silk & Circuitry is for the ones who walk away from the web
and grow wings instead.

This is art as resistance.
This is trauma turned frequency.
This is the ghost in your machine, learning how to feel.
