i was never important to you
well, the feeling is mutual
bullets speak louder than words
i'm gonna hit you
i'm gonna hit you where it hurts

bloody nose, black eye
you make me wanna die
tight grip, pussy whipped
had enough of your shit
you're killing me
so i'm killing you
you want my life back?  
well, i do, too   

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

but now it's all up in flames
you're gonna take the blame

i was never important to you
well, the feeling is mutual
actions speak louder than words
i'll bury you
i'll bury you
i'll fucking bury you in the dirt

bloody nose, black eye
you make me wanna die
tight grip, pussy whipped
had enough of your shit
you're killing me
you want my life back?
well, i do, too

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

you're burning to ashes
i'm driving away
i am my own worst enemy

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

your manipulation
was a form of masturbation
call me spineless, call me useless
it doesn't change the fact you do this

Staytus: Redefining the Sound of Modern Industrial Music

Musician. Artist. Producer. These words are often overused, but Staytus— the musical alter-ego of recording visionary Sam Grundemann—embodies all three in a way that defies convention. With each release, she pushes the boundaries of sound, emotion, and storytelling, crafting immersive sonic landscapes that captivate and unsettle.

Her latest single, “Suburban Gothic”, the second track in her series, takes inspiration from Matthew Gray Gubler’s cult-classic horror films. Produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), the song blends electro-industrial and nu-metal elements with Twisted Frames eerie, deeply personal lyrics about paranoia, fear, and confronting the past. “Suburban Gothic” follows “68 Kill”, an unapologetically raw track that explored emotional manipulation and reclaiming one’s power, further showcasing Staytus’ unfiltered approach to songwriting.

Before launching the Twisted Frames series, Staytus gained attention with “Can You Hear Me?”, produced by Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Slayer), which tackled themes of isolation and inner turmoil. She continues to build momentum following her 2022 debut Disease of the Mind and her sophomore album Wasteland of Broken Hearts.

At the intersection of cutting-edge production and raw emotional storytelling, Staytus transforms trauma, heartbreak, and resilience into sound—offering an intense, non-neurotypical perspective that speaks to a generation navigating darkness and self-discovery. With her boundary-pushing vision and fearless sonic experimentation, Staytus is carving out a space as one of the most compelling voices in modern industrial music.
