Ten intimate confessions from the hours when the world sleeps but our minds scream the loudest. From digital love to graveyard shifts, from hospital beds to nursery rooms, "When the World Sleeps" captures those raw late-night moments when we're most human, most vulnerable, and most alive.

Reflecting

“Borrowed Jewels” is a tender reflection on love, time, and the treasures we hold—knowing they were never truly ours to keep.  This song captures that bittersweet space between gratitude and goodbye.

Borrowed Jewels

BORROWED JEWELS

We all wear masks to hide the pain, to blend in, to survive.
This track pulls those layers back. It’s dark, cinematic, and raw, a mix of haunting piano, heavy 808s, and honesty you can feel in your chest.
It’s about running from your thoughts, fighting the version of yourself you try to keep hidden, and realizing the truth always finds its way through.

Under The Mask

My life's going well
I have a job, I have a partner
I have friends that care about me
None of that seems to matter right now, though
I'm just... in my head

One single moment
Is all it takes
I go from being on top of the world
To sobbing until I break

I've tried therapy, I've tried the pills
They work momentarily, but I'm still ill
I need some sort of clarity to feel what's real
I need some sort of remedy before I'm killed

Sleepless nights like these are the worst
I just can't seem to be okay

I'm falling apart
Breaking at the seams
I'm not gonna be here for long
If I can't have better dreams

I've tried therapy, I've tried the pills
They work momentarily, but I'm still ill
I need some sort of clarity to feel what's real
I need some sort of remedy before I'm killed

There's no one to blame for the way I'm feeling
It's just my messed-up head
So...

I've tried therapy, I've tried the pills
They work momentarily, but I'm still ill
I need some sort of clarity to feel what's real
I need some sort of remedy before I'm killed

Hey everyone, Ayinar (A-in-R) here - I am a 32-year-old rapper from Oklahoma who has always enjoyed telling a story in my creative way. I have been writing for 10+ years, and my style always changes. I want to show others struggling that they can use creative works as a way out of the darkness. Being connected to music differently has always been a part of me, and is what has me always evolving my craft. What I want to do is show other creatives and non-creatives how to truly look within through creativity. I do this by showing a new and different way to express creativity in a less negative mindset. I want to show people they do not need to live in the state of mind that music often puts them in. As always, keep growing and evolving.
