[Verse 1]
I walk through streets where silence screams,
A twisted hush of broken dreams.
The flicker lights, they burn and fade—
A city drowning in its shade.

[Verse 2]
The sky is cracked like fragile glass,
A haunted echo from the past.
Footsteps vanish into air—
I chase a ghost that isn’t there.

[Chorus]
Oh, the shadows collapse and bend,
Twist me ’til there’s no amend.
A roaring void eats up the truth—
I feel the chill of a wasted youth.

[Bridge]
Ashes whisper through the night,
Whisper lies, then take to flight.
Winds are howling, cruel and cold,
Spinning secrets left untold.

[Verse 3]
We build our towers out of stone,
But every wall comes crashing down.
The static hum fills every space—
It masks the tears upon my face.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the shadows collapse and bend,
Twist me ’til there’s no amend.
A roaring void eats up the truth—
I feel the chill of a wasted youth.

"Shadows Collapse" is a haunting descent into the heart of a fractured city where hope flickers like dying streetlights. It tells the story of a soul navigating ruins—both architectural and emotional—while chasing ghosts of what could have been. Each verse moves between the sharp sting of truth and the comfort of illusion, painting an urban requiem for lost youth and the collapse of everything we thought unshakable. In its shadows, resilience grows, jagged but unbroken.

Shadows Collapse

Project KT (Knowledge Transfer) is the solo vision of Kareem Tyler—a multidimensional artist navigating the limits of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending sound. Fusing progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post-punk ambience, and metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes led by violin, orchestral depth, and raw poetic tension.

After a life-altering accident caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem rebuilt his artistry through digital composition and visual design—transforming personal trauma into transcendent expression.

That rebirth came to life in Echoes of the Void (2025), a symphonic progressive metal epic charting entropy, solitude, and rebirth across expansive movements. Its companion, Beyond the Void, reimagined the work as a cinematic and orchestral odyssey, featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Valeria Rusnak, whose operatic vocals added radiant contrast to Kareem’s baritone foundation. Together, they forged a dialogue of shadow and light, entropy and grace.

Though Project KT remains firmly Kareem’s vision—writing, producing, and shaping every detail—he is actively seeking a female vocalist to further embody its still-untold emotional core. With an evolving presence on Instagram, BandLab, and SoundCloud, Project KT continues to weave cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning.

For listeners and collaborators drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT offers more than music—it is an echo unfolding into infinity.
