I sit here
Trying to figure it out
But I can't
So, everyday
I keep on going

But why
But why
Do I feel the need

But why
But why
Do I feel the need

To keep going
To keep working
For those
Who don't care
For those
Who don't care

Do I stop?
Do I end?
Do I cease?
Do I desist?

But, I sit here
Trying to figure it out
But I can't
So, everyday
I keep on going

To keep going
To keep working
For those
Who don't care
For those
Who don't care

I Keep Going

"Heartless is a dark, soul-stirring journey into the depths of pain, struggle, and resilience. Featuring haunting melodies and powerful lyrics, this track dives into the battles we face with inner demons, set against an otherworldly backdrop of eerie cityscapes and mysticism. Perfect for fans of introspective, emotionally charged music. Stream now and immerse yourself in the raw emotions and artistry that define me."

Heartless (Prod. By Jammy Beatz & Jkei)

This song is about someone who has always been there for others, helping them succeed while hiding their own struggles. The verses share their feelings of being unnoticed and left behind, while the chorus reveals their wish for someone to care for them too. The song ends with hope, dreaming of a brighter future where they can finally find happiness. It’s a heartfelt and emotional journey about sacrifice, loneliness, and finding light in the darkness.

In The Shadow

[Verse 1]
I try to cry, but nothing falls
A storm inside, but no rain at all
Have I built these walls too high, too strong?
Once tears would heal, now they just feel wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been forced to stand, to play this game
But strength without tears doesn’t feel the same

[Chorus]
Let it break, let it fall
Tear me open, through it all
If I could cry, I’d find my way
But these walls just keep the pain at bay
Let it break, let it fall
I don’t want to feel this small

[Verse 2]
I’ve burned some bridges, I’ve closed some doors
A prisoner of moods I can’t ignore
From anger to laughter in a single breath
But my tears stay hidden like they’re scared of death

[Pre-Chorus]
I run from the weight when it feels too much
Hide in my music, but lose every touch

[Chorus]
Let it break, let it fall
Tear me open, through it all
If I could cry, I’d find my way
But these walls just keep the pain at bay
Let it break, let it fall
I don’t want to feel this small

[Bridge]
Music’s my compass, my only guide
Sorting the chaos I bury inside
But when the song is over, and I’m finally through
I turn around, and there’s no one to run to

[Chorus]
Let it break, let it fall
Tear me open, through it all
If I could cry, I’d find my way
But these walls just keep the pain at bay
Let it break, let it fall
I don’t want to feel this small

[Outro]
I try to cry, but nothing falls
A storm inside, but no rain at all

A Quiet Collapse

"Blades of Shadows" is a powerful cinematic rock ballad that intertwines the stories of Tanjiro Kamado, a Demon Slayer, and Ken Kaneki, a Ghoul. Both are warriors trapped in a world of darkness, fighting to hold on to their humanity despite being consumed by forces beyond their control. Tanjiro’s unwavering dedication to protect others from the demons that plague their world clashes with Ken's internal battle to reconcile his ghoul nature with the remnants of his human soul. The song captures the intensity of their struggles, the pain of their transformations, and the haunting question of what it means to fight for redemption in a world filled with monsters, both human and supernatural. "Blades of Shadows" is an anthem of strength, sacrifice, and the search for hope amid the shadows.

Blades of Shadows

"Quiet Storm" explores the silent battles we fight behind closed doors. Through ambient textures and vulnerable vocals, this track navigates the contrast between outward composure and inner turmoil. A journey through darkness that ultimately finds solace in emotional release, "Quiet Storm" speaks to anyone who's ever worn a smile while drowning inside. The atmospheric production creates a sonic landscape where whispered confessions echo against gentle electronic pulses, inviting listeners to find comfort in shared vulnerability.

Quiet Storm

"Teen Dream" is an instrumental electronic journey — slow, cinematic, and introspective. Built around lush synths, soft strings, and a steady 90BPM groove, the track evolves from calm mystery into a powerful burst of distorted synth-guitar energy.

It captures the emotional contrast of adolescence: gentle innocence colliding with raw rebellion. A dreamy yet intense inner monologue — fading into a mystic calm by the end.

Thank you for listening.

Numb inside

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs every day. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let my music into their life. I hope these songs have given you as much strength and peace as they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in these times we need every bit of light we can get.

The only thing I can tell you is this. Never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it, and sometimes you have to work hard as shit to get anywhere. But I believe in you. I believe you will reach that first goal on your journey in this life. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There is always another level waiting for you.

In the meantime, I have a whole universe of musical projects you can explore. If any of them speak to you, let me know. Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers!
