Castles in the Air

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

[Intro]
Spawned in, loaded up—yeah I’m feeling brave…
Three seconds later—guess who’s back in the grave?

[Verse 1]
I peek a corner like a genius, thinking I’m the man,
Then a twelve-year-old with perfect aim sends me to the respawn again.
I swear my bullets curve away like they’re allergic to the fight,
Meanwhile every rat is headshotting me out of spite.

[Pre-Chorus]
My K/D’s crying, my pride’s on the floor,
My squad says “push with us!”—but I’m already blood and gore.
Still I reload my dignity, take one more breath…
Here I come sprinting to my next untimely death.

[Chorus]
I’m dead again!
Didn’t even last a minute—bro, this game is fragged!
I’m dead again!
My epics don’t matter when my luck’s this bad!
But I jump back in, yeah I’ll die once more,
’Cause victory tastes sweet—
even when I’m face-down on the floor.
I’m dead again!
Put me in, coach—
I swear THIS one i'll score!

[Verse 2]
Sliding in like a hero, tryna clutch for the team,
Trip on a pixel, fall off a map—please uninstall jeez.
I throw a grenade with confidence, pure tactical art…
It bounces off a doorframe and blows me apart.

[Pre-Chorus]
The kill feed laughs, my squad yells “WHY?!”
My controller side-eyes me every time that I try.
But hey—one more run, I’ll get my revenge,
Or forget the objective and fall off a ledge.

[Chorus]
I’m dead again!
Didn’t even last a minute—bro, this game is rigged!
I’m dead again!
Even bots are asking if my shots “hid.”
But I jump back in, yeah I’ll die once more,
’Cause one day I’ll pop off—
And they’ll fear me for sure!
I’m dead again!
Respawn me quick—
I’m ready to ignore the score!

[Bridge]
Lag spike hits—
“Yo, that wasn’t me!”
Wi-Fi drops—
“My credibility!”
Teammates screaming—
“Bro, what have you done?!”
But somehow… somehow…
I blame the gun.

[Breakdown]
Hit me with a rez, hit me with a heal—
I’ll still find a way to slip on air and end the deal.
Every round a tragedy, every death a theme,
But I keep on queuing ’cause I believe in the dream.

[drum solo]

[Final Chorus]
I’m dead again!
Yeah, the lobby knows my name—
for entirely wrong reasons.
I’m dead again!
Top frag? Nah, but I bring good vibes every season.
So I jump back in, ’cause losing’s my friend—
One more respawn…
One more comedic end.
I’m dead again!
Roll clip—
Let’s do it all again!

Dead Again

Hands Before the Reckoning is a record about the moments that exist just before consequence, the quiet seconds when choices are still ours, when conviction hasn’t yet been tested, and when the weight of what we’ve done hasn’t fully arrived. It lives in the space between intention and outcome, where resolve wavers and truth begins to surface.

Lyrically, the album walks through broken rooms, late-night confessions, and moral crossroads, examining how desire, faith, regret, and self-deception shape who we become. These songs are not concerned with absolution or spectacle, but with ownership, the realization that no one escapes the results of their actions, and no one is spared the responsibility of choice.

The title speaks to hands as both instruments and witnesses: hands that reach, hands that fail, hands that push away what they should have held. Before the reckoning arrives, these hands still move freely, capable of harm or healing, surrender or defiance.

Musically, the record balances aggression and restraint, pairing visceral heaviness with moments of reflection. It’s an album that doesn’t rush toward answers, but instead forces the listener to stand still and confront the cost of their decisions, before time closes the door.

Hands Before the Reckoning is not a confession.
It is the pause before one.
