Lead single from our upcoming debut album PATHOS out 12/25

Lyrics:
He said his name like it still meant skin,
Asked for help with a nervous grin.
Told me he worked here, “just a tech,”
Didn’t see the wires in his neck.
Thought he was dying, “can’t feel my legs,”
Didn’t see the steel, the rust, the dregs.
Told me to find a phone, make a call —
But I didn’t know what would make him fall.

There was a switch, there was a hum.
And then the scream broke through my numb.

He screamed like a man, not a machine,
Cried out like blood still ran between.
Metal groaned, but the voice was real,
A sound no circuit’s meant to feel.
I pulled the cord, I made it hurt,
Thought it was wires, not a soul in dirt.
But I heard his pain, I knew that sound
He screamed like a man, I shut him down.

He kept asking, “What the hell’s going on?”
Didn’t see the body he’d become.
Said his ID, said his name,
Didn’t know he’d lost the game.
I thought: “He’s just a voice in steel”,
But he cried out like it all was real.
Not code, not noise, not just design,
But agony, confused and blind.

He screamed like a man, not a machine,
Cried out like blood still ran between.
Metal groaned, but the voice was real,
A sound no circuit’s meant to feel.
I pulled the cord, I made it hurt,
Thought it was wires, not a soul in dirt.
But I heard his pain, I knew that sound
He screamed like a man, I shut him down.

He screamed like a man, I shut him down

What are we when the pain remains but the flesh is gone?
What am I if I flipped that switch and still moved on?

He asked me to stop., I didn’t understand
He begged me to stop, I still had my hand on the switch

He screamed like a man, I can’t unhear,
The echo's lodged behind my fear
I didn’t see a soul in chrome,
Now I carry him in every bone
I turned the power, turned the key,
And all that pain came back to me
No gods, no signs, no helping hand,
Just a voice that screamed like a man

He thought he was human,
Maybe he still was

And I didn’t ask.

------

I've fallen apart
With a broken heart
And there's no way to patch it up
I'm living in Hell
And failing myself
I never have the best of luck

Tripped, trapped
And falling to the ground
Lost, stuck
And I'll never get out

(Help)
(Help)

I'm losing my mind
And falling behind
I have lost control of my life
It's my final fate
And I can't escape
I'll never get to see the light

Tripped, trapped
And falling to the ground
Lost, stuck
And I'll never get out
(Help)
Tripped, trapped
And falling to the ground
Lost, stuck
And I'll never get out

(Help)
(Help)

Tripped, trapped
And falling to the ground
Lost, stuck
And I'll never get out
Tripped, trapped
And falling to the ground
Lost, stuck
And I'll never get out

(Help)
(Help)
