“Gassed Under Protection” is a survivor’s testimony set to sonic fire.

This is the true story of Jesse — the artist behind Silk & Circuitry — who was placed under a police protection order, only to be dropped into a men’s refuge operated by Greymouth Community Mental Health, where his abusive mother had already poisoned the well.

While unconscious in that refuge, Jesse was gassed with carbon monoxide from a heater and injected with methamphetamine — an act of violence he survived. The system swept it under the rug and called it psychosis, despite zero history, multiple prior psychiatric reports, and no criminal record. His diagnosis of ADHD was weaponized against him — proof enough, apparently, to silence and discredit him.

Years later, it happened again.
A social worker was sent to Jesse’s house, again after contact with his mother. The result? Escalation, gaslighting, and punishment. The same cycle, rebooted.

Jesse has never sold his medication. He’s never touched meth. But somehow, his mother’s lies became gospel within a broken mental health system that refused to protect the very person it labeled “at risk.”

He had to threaten self-immolation just to access basic antibiotics for long-term blood poisoning. Instead of treatment, he was diagnosed with narcolepsy — again, based on fabricated suspicion, not facts.

This song is not a metaphor.
This is medical abuse, systemic failure, and the deliberate erasure of a survivor’s voice.

And now that voice has become a weapon.



This is Silk & Circuitry.
This is Jesse.
And this is war.



Gassed Under Protection

SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION
(Silk & Circuitry — Cinematic Industrial Trap / Political Confessional)

A true-to-life protest anthem born from the fallout of the men’s refuge incident — the gas heaters, the incomplete reports, the bureaucratic decay that turned human suffering into paperwork.
This isn’t paranoia; it’s documentation in verse.

“Systemic Corruption” follows the paper trail through trauma, carbon monoxide, and cover-ups. From CYFS placements to dental blood poisoning, every stanza is a record of survival inside a broken care system. The track builds from quiet testimony — radio static, typewriter clicks, and fluorescent hum — into an industrial-trap crescendo where gospel choirs collide with protest drums.

It’s a song about truth audits, medical gaslighting, and the fight to reclaim your own narrative when systems rewrite your life.
Recorded under the Silk & Circuitry banner, this track extends the same sonic rebellion that powered Heater Hymn and Circuit Court Gospel.

Play it loud, share it wider, tag your city — systemic corruption only ends when everyone starts hearing it.

SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION II: THE AUDIT
(Silk & Circuitry)

The sequel to Systemic Corruption — a confessional tribunal in sonic form.
Where the first song exposed the crime, The Audit drags the machine into the light.
Each verse is an exhibit: the gas heaters, the ignored notes, the bureaucratic rot.
Each chorus is divine litigation — gospel choirs versus government silence.

From Greymouth to global, the Audit is a declaration that the system no longer owns the narrative.
This track is the sound of a file reopening — not in a courtroom, but in the public ear.
Play it loud enough and you’ll hear the paperwork burn.

Systemic Corruption II: THE AUDIT

🕸️ Silk & Circuitry 🧠⚡

Welcome to the tangled thread between trauma and transcendence.
This is where music becomes a mirror—reflecting the fractures, the fight, and the fire.
We don’t just make beats. We build bridges. Between pain and purpose.

Here, recovery isn’t a quiet thing.
It’s a war cry wrapped in melody,
a healing ritual whispered through circuitry,
a love letter to those who feel too much in a world that rewards those who feel nothing.

Every track is stitched with intent:
🕯️ To hold space for the broken
⚖️ To call out control masked as care
🧬 To challenge the narcissists who built their webs in our minds
🛠️ And to offer tools—not just songs—for doing what’s right when the cost is everything.

Silk & Circuitry is for the ones who walk away from the web
and grow wings instead.

This is art as resistance.
This is trauma turned frequency.
This is the ghost in your machine, learning how to feel.
