This one is about that weird place between the old life and the new one. You’re not who you were, but you’re not who you’re becoming yet either. It’s uncomfortable, slow, quiet, and real. It’s the in-between where most people turn back. I didn’t.

THE THRESHOLD

This is the moment the mask starts breaking. Not clean, not pretty violent and painful. It’s the collapse that exposes the truth you’ve been avoiding. The crack is terrifying, but it’s also the doorway to everything that comes next.

THE CRACK

This is the rebirth. Not a perfect ending, just a true beginning. This track is about becoming the man I needed growing up, the father my son deserves, and the version of myself that can finally breathe without hiding. It’s the arrival after years of running.

BECOMING

Everyone gets handed a script growing up. Mine told me to keep the peace, never need too much, and stay small enough to not be a problem. This track is me realizing that the script kept me alive once but now it’s killing me. So I’m rewriting it.

SURVIVAL SCRIPT

This album is my life story told the only way I know how, honest.
Every track in EXILE is a part of the journey I never thought I’d survive: the first wound that split me open, the mask I built to get through childhood, the inner-child I locked away, the addictions I ran to, the collapse that forced me to finally face myself, and the slow, painful climb into becoming a man I can actually respect.

I didn’t make this to sound cool.
I made it because I’ve bled for this growth.
Because I’ve cried in rooms alone, panicked at 3 a.m., lost people, hurt myself, rebuilt myself, and kept showing up even when part of me wanted to disappear.

This album is every scar I earned on the way back to my own soul.
And if you’ve ever felt like you were too soft for this world, too emotional, too sensitive, too “much”… if you ever hated the mask but didn’t know who you were without it… then this is for you too.

EXILE is the story of breaking, remembering, and becoming.
This is my pain, my truth, my healing.
If you press play, I hope you feel seen in the dark parts and a little less alone in your own fight.

INTERLUDE III:  THE RETURN

INTERLUDE I: THE BREAKING POINT

This track goes straight to the root the first belief that shaped everything else. The belief that being my true self would lead to abandonment. Once you name the core wound, you can finally stop obeying it. This is the heart of the entire album.

THE CORE WOUND

This is the final breath after the breakthrough. The moment you step out of the old story and into something real. It’s not flashy or loud it’s quiet, steady, and honest. The real self finally walks forward.

OUTRO: THE QUIET AFTER

INTERLUDE II: THE DOORWAY

This track is about the part of yourself you lock away because you don’t know what to do with the pain. The “shadow” isn’t evil, it’s just the pieces of you that carried what your childhood self couldn’t. This is me going downstairs in my own mind and finally meeting the version of me I abandoned.
