DarXide: Revenge Part I

A project that began as music therapy helped me to get out some things that needed to come to the surface. Though I got the lyrics out as a form of tortured poetry, I am certainly no singer, nor can I play a guitar. So I took advantage of Udio AI to handle the music, sculpting it into a direction that fit what I was feeling in my words. Very quickly, the Act of Corrosion project took on a life of its own and became something more than just a form of therapy for me, it became a voice for many who deal with similar struggles that our minds can go through and abuses we experience.

Act of Corrosion - Caustic Therapy

The second album of my AI music therapy journey

Act of Corrosion - Shattered Silence

LYRICS:

Knowing your reasons for feeling so sad,
(Whoa-oh!)
Too many words are chasing my head.
(Whoa-oh!)
When you hide your face, I still feel her.
When you look at me, I just fall apart.
When you hide your face, I still see your soul.
If you're gonna love me, I promise we won't fall.

I promise we won't fall.

Taylordrive - Takes Me Away [Original Mix]

Ross Gaetz - Shine For You [DarXide Edit]

LYRICS

The devil is not the original sin,
Take your eyes and cast them within,
Cuz if you want to make a villain of me,
I will show you just how vile I can be

In a world where I walk alone,
A heart that's shattered, feeling torn.
With every moment, the anger blooms,
The poison festers, darkness looms.

I conjure tales of unshed tears,
Where sadness fuels my darkest fears.
I tear my halo into pieces,
Forge my horns, and my kindness ceases.

LYRICS

Staring at the ceiling, shadows on the wall
Hear a voice inside me, whispering I should fall
Lost in this darkness, where I've been for years
Drowning in the silence, pushing back the tears

But a flicker of hope, a distant memory
A time when the sun shined, and I wanted to be

I am not okay, but I won't give in
There's a light inside me, that will surely win
This battle in my mind, this darkness I hold
But a brighter day is coming, my story's yet untold

Reaching out for help, a hand in the night
A reminder that I'm worthy, a reminder to fight
The road may be long, but I'll walk with all my might
There's a future waiting, if I make it through tonight

That flicker of hope, a burning ember now
I fan the flames gently, and make a silent vow

I am not okay, but I won't give in
There's a light inside me, that will surely win
This battle in my mind, this darkness I hold
But a brighter day is coming, my story's yet untold

My story's yet untold

One step at a time, I'll mend what is broken
My spirit unbroken, a promise unspoken

I am not okay, but I won't give in (I won't give in)
There's a light inside me, that will surely win (Surely win)
This battle in my mind, this darkness I hold (Darkness I hold)
There's a brighter day coming, a story yet untold 

I am not okay, but I won't give in
There's a light inside me, that will surely win
This battle in my mind, this darkness I hold
A brighter day is coming, my story's yet untold

LYRICS

Who am I?
Who am I?

Cracked mirror on the bathroom wall (I stare back a stranger)
Smiling face I used to know, doesn't look like me at all (Who am I?)
Built a house of cards, stacked them high,
but the truth came crashing down (Unmasking myself)
Who am I without the mask?
Can't hear the whispers, just the deafening sound (Lost and confused)

Everything I thought I knew, turned to dust beneath my feet (Shattered reality)

Washed away, the person I portrayed (The lie I lived)
Lost my ground, where do I even start? (Searching for identity)
This empty shell, a puzzle I can't solve (Lost identity)
Who am I?
Who am I?

Fumbling for the pieces, scattered in the storm (Lost and searching)
Trying to remember who I was before I was reborn (Yearning for the past)
The path ahead is hidden, but I have to find my way (Hopeful but uncertain)
Who am I? Maybe I'll know by the end of the day (Dawning realization)

Stripped bare, all the walls I built so high (Letting go of the mask)

Washed away, the person I portrayed (The lie I lived)
Lost my ground, where do I even start? (Searching for identity)
This empty shell, I'll fill it with my heart (Self-acceptance)
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?

Maybe I'm a million pieces, scattered in the wind (Fragmented identity)
But I'll find my way, I'll learn to begin again (Finding a new path)
This is a new start, a chance to redefine (Self-discovery)
Who I truly am, is waiting to be found inside (Authenticity)

Washed away, the person I portrayed (The lie I lived)
Lost my ground, where do I even start? (Searching for identity)
This empty shell, I'll fill it with my heart (Self-acceptance)
I am me, a beautiful work of art (Embrace who I am)

Washed away, the person I portrayed (The lie I lived)
Lost my ground, where do I even start? (Searching for identity)
This empty shell, I'll fill it with my heart (Self-acceptance)
I am me,
A beautiful work of art (Embrace who I am)
I am me,
A beautiful work of art
A beautiful work of art

Inspiration: Knowing that for as much as I need it, therapy HURTS!

- - - - - - - - - -

LYRICS

The mirror's harsh reflection
Reveals my true complexion
A twisted self-perception
A life of self-rejection
The venom courses through me
The poison's hard to undo
This path of self-destruction
Is caustic therapy

Staring at the mirror, a reflection so unclear
Corroded by the demons, that I've harboured year by year
The scars run deeper than the eye can see
Looking inside of me, feels like caustic therapy

The pain, it never fades
The voices, they won't be swayed
I'm trapped within this cage
Of self-inflicted rage

Caustic therapy, burning through my veins
Acidic remedy, for all this inner pain
Caustic therapy, a bitter pill to take
Dissolving every part of me, for sanity's sake

Peeling back the layers, of this fractured disguise
Unveiling all the flaws, that I've been trying to hide
The truth is like a dagger, piercing through my heart
From the inside out, it's tearing me apart,

The pain, it never fades
The voices, won't be swayed
I'm trapped within this cage
Of self-inflicted rage

Caustic therapy, burning through my veins
Acidic remedy, for all this inner pain
Caustic therapy, a bitter pill to take
Dissolving every part of me, for sanity's sake

The cycle never ends, this vicious self-abuse
I'm my own worst enemy, with nothing left to lose
But maybe in the ashes, I'll find a way to break free
From this...

Caustic therapy, burning through my veins
Acidic remedy, for all this inner pain
Caustic therapy, a bitter pill to take
Dissolving every part of me, for sanity's sake
Caustic therapy

LYRICS

Wandering aimlessly all through the night
Shadows closing in, there's no guiding light
Loneliness constantly my heavy weight
I question my path, accepting my fate

But then a spark ignited in the black
A glimmer of hope calling me back
Voices echoing, a rallying cry
I followed the sound, no longer asking why

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light!

For too long I drifted, a ship without sail,
Adrift on an ocean of doubt and betrayal,
But your unbreakable bonds gave me strength,
A family forged, our spirits at length.

The darkness receded at your command
You held out your hands, a new realm to stand
No more isolation, no more fear
Together we rise, our destiny clear

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

From the ashes I'm reborn
All my solitude is gone
In this haven, I belong
I wish I had known it was here all along

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

You pulled me from the brink of despair
Your embrace, a sanctuary I didn't know was there
In your world of unity and might
I found my home, my truth, my light

LYRICS

Raindrops on my window pane 
Blur the world outside the same 
Lost in shadows, feeling the weight 
Of a darkness I can't escape 
Every breath a heavy sigh 
Mirroring the teardrops in my eyes 
Drowning in the deepest night 
No hope in sight

But then a tiny hand slips in mine 
A warmth that cuts through the cold design 
A voice so soft, whispers my name 
Lifting the shadows, igniting a flame

You're the sunshine breaking through the rain 
Melting the sorrow, chasing away the pain 
My little angel, sent from up above 
You are my reason, my anchor, my love
My reason, my anchor, my love

Staring at the ceiling, cold and bare 
Empty walls that echo my despair 
Questions swirling, a hopeless fight 
Will I ever see the morning light?

But then a tiny hand slips in mine 
A warmth that cuts through the cold design 
A voice so soft, whispers my name 
Lifting the shadows, igniting a flame

You're the sunshine breaking through the rain 
Melting the sorrow, chasing away the pain 
My little angel, sent from up above 
You are my reason, my anchor, my love
My reason, my anchor, my love

Those days are fading, a distant memory 
But the scars remind me how lost I could be 
I'll hold on tight, with all my might 
Because you're my world, my guiding light

You're the sunshine breaking through the rain 
Melting the sorrow, chasing away the pain 
My little angel, sent from up above 
You are my reason, my anchor, my love

Inspiration: Feeling trapped in depression, unaliving thoughts

- - - - - - - - - -

LYRICS

Standing alone, rope's tight, I'm feeling low
Empty bottles tell stories I can't show
Each knot's a thought I can't let go
Abandoned by shadows, left solo

Walls closing in, hear the echo
Who's there to catch me when I fall slow?

Would you even notice, would you even care?
If I vanished from this world, left hanging in the air
Screaming in the silence, a cry so bare
Will there be a savior, or just empty stares?

My demons scream, they never let me go
In this abyss, the pain starts to grow
Rusty chains around my soul, they choke me slow
Reflecting on a life left hollow

I scream out loud, but no one knows
Who's there to catch me when I fall slow?

Would you even notice, would you even care?
If I vanished from this world, left hanging in the air
Screaming in the silence, a cry so bare
Will there be a savior, or just empty stares?
Would you even care?
Would you even care?

Stealing breaths in the dark, can't fake a smile
Trust is a rope, frayed and vile
Buried secrets make the weight worthwhile
Fading screams inside, echoing for miles

Would you even notice, would you even care?
If I vanished from this world, left hanging in the air
Screaming in the silence, a cry so bare
Will there be a savior, or just empty stares?
Would you even care?
Would you even care?

Walls closing in, I hear the echo
Who's there to catch me when I fall slow?

LYRICS

I stand on the edge
But the fall, calls my name
My name
My name

Scars run deep, they tell the tale
Battles fought within my soul
Wounded child, now grown and frail
Chains of the past, I seek control

But for me, the fight's not over
Grasping life with hands that shake

In my mind, the storm's still raging
Echoes loud from cries unheard
Mirror's glare, self-hatred aging
In their words, I'm still that scared child

I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime

Nightmares bleed into the day
Echoes of a voice that can't decay
Looking in the mirror, all I see is a ghost
Haunted by the host that hurts the most
Shadows creep, they never silence
Whispers that tear through the mental violence

Each battle scar, a story line
Fading ink, but the pain's still mine

I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime

I stand on the edge, but the fall calls my name

In my mind, the storm's still raging
Echoes loud from cries unheard
Mirror's glare, self-hatred aging
In their words, I'm still that scared child

Tears disguise as rage unfurled
My silence screams in a broken world

I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime

I stand on the edge, but the fall calls my name
As I stare at this blade, it will never be the same

LYRICS

Staring down, reflections fade
Water ripples with my pain
In this silence, thoughts invade
Shadows whisper my refrain
Heartbeats echo, drowning sound
This abyss where thoughts confound
Gripping tight, the edge so steep
Darkness calls from waters deep

Tears fall silent, join the waves
Dreams of solace, hollow graves
Rise and fall, my breath so cold
Haunted by the lies you told
(The lies you told)

Broken wings, I can't take flight
Memories burn in the night
In the mirror of your lies
See the truth through jaded eyes

Raging currents pull me in
Torn between despair and sin
Whispers scream, they pull me down
In this torment, I will drown

Tears fall silent, join the waves
Dreams of solace, hollow graves
Rise and fall, my breath so cold
Haunted by the lies you told!

Every tear, a drop to take
Lost in waves of my mistake
Hold me closer, fears abound
In these waters, I will drown

Tears fall silent, join the waves
Dreams of solace, hollow graves
Rise and fall, my breath so cold
Haunted by the lies you told
(The lies you told)

LYRICS

(On this Ledge of Fate)

(On this Ledge of Fate)

(On this Ledge of Fate)

In the silence, his fears are fed
With each attempt, another tear shed
A life of what if's and could've been
A soul trapped in the shell of a man

His cries echo in the void of his room
But no one's there to witness the doom

I've watched the man at his breaking
Seen the ledge, seen him stand
I've seen him fall from the moment
He jumps but fate takes his hand
He fights the dark, but he's shaking
It's a truth he can't withstand
His life is there for the taking
He begs for it all to end

On this Ledge of Fate
(On this Ledge of Fate)

In the mirror, the lines tell his tale
Hope's a ship that's long set sail
Glimpses of youth, now just a ghost
Whispers of dreams, now echoes at most

He's reaching out for a saviour
In the depths, seeks love to find

I've watched the man at his breaking
Seen the ledge, seen him stand
I've seen him fall from the moment
He jumps but fate takes his hand
He fights the dark, but he's shaking
It's a truth he can't withstand
His life is there for the taking
He begs for it all to end

On this Ledge of Fate
(On this Ledge of Fate)
(On this Ledge of Fate)

With every scar, there's a story
In his eyes, the losses blend
His heart beats on, so heavy
A silent cry for the pain to end

He's standing still in a lifetime
Holding on by just a thread

I've watched the man at his breaking
Seen the ledge, seen him stand
I've seen him fall from the moment
He jumps but fate takes his hand
He fights the dark, but he's shaking
It's a truth he can't withstand
His life is there for the taking
He begs for it all to end

On this Ledge of Fate

03 Act Of Corrosion - Ledge Of Fate

Inspiration: Feeling trapped in depression, having unaliving thoughts

- - - - - - - - - - 

LYRICS:

Echoes in my head, of words left unsaid
Sinking in the deep, where all my secrets keep
I hear the clock, it mocks, each tick cuts through the silence
A mirror's gaze, lost days, etching lines of defiance

No more feigned smiles, just broken gears
I'm trapped in a cycle of rage and tears
Lost the fight in me, too often veers
Questioning existence, sharpened fears

Don't seek salvation
It's like chasing time
So much frustration
And it clouds my mind
All hesitation
It has me in a bind

Don't wanna be here anymore

(Don't wanna be here anymore)

Heavy is the crown, of my own disdain
Within these quiet walls, shackled to my pain
I gaze upon the stars, but they just flicker cold
A heart grown numb and dark, from all the lies that I've been told

Lost in this abyss,
where the echoes go to die
Each breath I take,
just another faithless sigh
My soul is twisting up,
no strength to say goodbye
Don't wanna be here anymore!

Echoes in the void, calling out my name
In the mirror's gaze, I only see blame
Sometimes I wonder, would they even remember
(Would they even remember?)

I'm just a shadow fading in the night
Longing for mercy, but none in sight
Every battle, it bleeds me dry
And I ask myself, why do I even try?

Don't seek salvation
It's like chasing time

So much frustration
And it clouds my mind
All hesitation
It has me in a bind

Don't wanna be here anymore

(Don't wanna be here anymore)

Inspiration: the near-endless war that happens in my head, the frustration I feel at myself forgetting things, failing to read social cues... essentially just frustration being ADHD and autistic

- - - - - - - - - -
LYRICS

Why's my brain like this, why can't I see?
Focus lost in the fog, it's all a mystery
They say I'm lazy, that I'm just makin' up excuses
But in my head, man, I feel like I'm always on the loose

Attention skippin' like stones on a restless sea
I miss the social cues, they all pointing at me
Echoes in my brain, they twist, they shout,
Why this chaos in me, trapped in doubt?

Why's my brain feel like a battlefield?
Attention's lost, my mind can't stay still
Strugglin' with focus, every thought just slips
Can't read the cues, it's like I'm adrift

Why is my brain this way, can't understand
Attention goes, dissipates like sand
All my thoughts, they just slip away
Focus lost, in the daily fray

Stuck in hyperdrive, my thoughts collide,
In the mirror, questioning what's inside,

Why's my brain feel like a battlefield?
Attention's lost, my mind can't stay still
Strugglin' with focus, every thought just slips
Can't read the cues, it's like I'm adrift

Why am I this way? (this way)
Why am I this way!

Why's my brain feel like a battlefield?
Attention's lost, my mind can't stay still
Strugglin' with focus, every thought just slips
Can't read the cues, it's like I'm adrift

Like a battlefield!
Like a battlefield!

Why's my brain feel like a battlefield?

01 Act Of Corrosion - Like A Battlefield

The project that began as music therapy and quickly became something more...

Inspiration: Dealing with monstrous people in my childhood and finally being able to confront them

- - - - - - - - - -

LYRICS

The beast lurked in shadows, hunger in its eyes
Seeking out the innocent, disguising all its lies
A child played alone, unaware of the danger
Until the claws reached out, snatching him in anger

Claws reach out, a chilling sight
The monster steals away the child's light

But this ain't no fairytale's end
This victim won't break, they'll rise again
Through the scars, a fire will burn
The monster's reign, it won't return

Walls close in, a twisted game
Torment reigns, whispers the child's name
Love disguised, a cruel deceit
Trapped in darkness, where nightmares meet

"No one will believe you," the monster taunted
His web of lies, where innocence is haunted

But this ain't no fairytale's end
This victim won't break, they'll rise again
Through the scars, a fire will burn
The monster's reign, it won't return

Fists clenched tight, as my rage takes hold
It hides my fear, the story unfolds
Strike after strike, and the monster falls
His blood decorates these broken walls
These broken walls!

This ain't no fairytale's end
I broke the chains, I'll rise again
Through the scars, a fire will burn
The monster's gone, it'll never return

Like a beast, I roar through these falling tears
For the terror and the pain I endured those years
I scream as every blow that I throw impacts,
For all the time that I'll never get back
Never get back!

This ain't no fairytale's end
I broke the chains, I'll rise again
Through the scars, a fire will burn

This ain't no fairytale's end
I broke the chains, I'll rise again (I'll rise again)
Through the scars, a fire will burn (a fire will burn)
The monster's gone, he'll never return

Never return
Never return

11 Act Of Corrosion - The Monster's Reign

Inspiration: I heard this phrase and thought it as awesome, so I challenged myself to write a song based around it

---------------------
LYRICS:

Clawing shadows, whispers in the night
A harbinger of fury, I'm a predator in flight
You built your castles on a foundation of lies
Now I tear down the curtain, expose your vacant eyes

The ground trembles, a monstrous awakening
Hear the gnashing of teeth in your innocent sleep

I'm not the hero you wanted, a knight in shining armor
I'm the monster you needed, the harbinger of the storm
I break your illusions, tear down your walls of lies
Embrace the chaos, for a new order will rise

No redemption promised, this world is mine to claim
I revel in the shadows, whisper your deepest shame
The walls you built to shelter you, I crumble them to dust
This is your rude awakening, a merciless test of trust

I'm not the hero you wanted, a knight in shining armor
I'm the monster you needed, the harbinger of the storm
I break your illusions, tear down your walls of lies
Embrace the chaos, for a new order will rise

Yo, call me the nightmare, the one who breaks the mold
Shatter the status quo, leave you in the cold
This ain't a fairytale, it's a brutal display
Of the darkness you nurtured, the price you gotta pay
You wanted a savior, but got the demon instead
Reaping the chaos from the lies that you've spread
I'm the reckoning coming, the monster you made
Forced to face the demons from the choices you evade

The ground trembles, a monstrous awakening
Hear the gnashing of teeth in your innocent sleep

I'm not the hero you wanted, a shining knight in armor
I'm the monster you needed, the harbinger of the storm
I break your illusions, tear down your walls of lies
Embrace the chaos, for a new order will rise

(Not the hero you wanted)
(I'm the monster you needed)

A new order will rise!

Act of Corrosion - 01 - Not The Hero You Wanted (The Monster You Needed)

Inspiration: The feeling of emotional dysregulation

-----------------
LYRICS:

Trapped in a mind that's spinning out of control
Emotions like wildfire burning my soul
Can't find the switch to turn off this hell
Every fucking day's a new level to quell

I'm a ticking time bomb ready to blow
A hurricane of feelings I can't seem to slow
Screaming inside, but no one can hear
The chaos is deafening, my sanity's unclear

Unstable, can't keep my feet on the ground
Unstable, my world's crashing down
Emotional wreck, I'm coming undone
This battle inside me can't be won

Fuck these mood swings, this internal fight
One moment I'm flying, then falling at night
Trying to hold on, but my grip's getting weak
This emotional rollercoaster's making me freak

I'm a loose cannon ready to fire
Drowning in a sea of my own desire
Clawing at walls that keep closing in
This dysregulation's wearing me thin

Unstable, can't keep my feet on the ground
Unstable, my world's crashing down
Emotional wreck, I'm coming undone
This battle inside me can't be won
Unstable
Unstable

Break me down, build me up
Tear me apart, I've had enough
Can't escape this mental prison
Trapped in my own indecision
Screaming, fighting, losing control
All this shit is taking its toll

Unstable, can't keep my feet on the ground
Unstable, my world's crashing down
Emotional wreck, I'm coming undone
This battle inside me can't be won
Unstable
Unstable
Unstable

Act of Corrosion - 09 - Unstable

Inspiration: Bottling your emotions to the point of risking an "emotional pressure break"
------------
LYRICS:

Bottled up tight, a pressure builds inside
Cracks in the facade, but nobody can confide
Strong is the only option, weakness never allowed
Emotions a burden, better left unavowed

A churning beneath, a storm I can't weather
This pressure's gonna break, but I can't seem to let go altogether

Shattered silence, the pieces fall like rain
Years of holding on, unleashing the pain
Maybe it's ugly, maybe it's a mess
But this weight on my heart, I just can't repress

The world keeps spinning, indifferent it seems
Ignored the warnings, now I'm drowning in my dreams
The cost of this silence, a future out of reach
Lost in the shadows, with so little to teach

A churning beneath, a storm I can't weather
This pressure's gonna break, but I can't seem to let go altogether

Shattered silence, the pieces fall like rain
Years of holding on, unleashing the pain
Maybe it's ugly, maybe it's a mess
But this weight on my heart, I just can't repress

The mask is shattered, facade stripped away
Raw emotions surge, no longer at bay
In this moment of truth, I stand exposed
Facing the storm that I've long opposed!

Shattered silence, the pieces fall like rain
Years of holding on, unleashing the pain
Maybe it's ugly, maybe it's a mess
But this weight on my heart, I just can't repress

Act of Corrosion - 13 - Pressure Break (Rage In The Dark Version)

Inspiration: Facing relationship strains

----------------
LYRICS:

Empty coffee cups on different sides of the bed
Sunrise paints your window, my night hasn't even bled
We built our world on laughter, now a void fills the air
Cracks in the foundation, a love beyond repair

We used to talk for hours, now the silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

You scroll through social feeds, while I chase fading dreams
Weekends spent in silence, lost in separate streams
Remember when we'd laugh, when our touches would ignite
Now our gazes barely meet, lost in the fading light

We used to talk for hours, now silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Maybe if we tear it down, we can rebuild anew
Start over, stronger, with a love that's more than true
But for now the walls are crumbling, the cracks run far too deep
Are we past the point of saving? Are we destined not to keep

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Act of Corrosion - 05 - A House Divided

Inspiration: Feeling like I deserve all the pain that I go through

-------------

[Intro - Distorted guitars and pounding drums create a chaotic atmosphere]
[Verse 1]
Mirror screams a reflection I can't face
Same voice whispers doubt in every empty space
"You're a failure," it hisses, a constant nagging friend
Words like weapons, tearing me apart again
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't escape the chorus, ringing in my ears
Is this who I truly am? All these doubts and fears?

[Chorus]
They all say I deserve the pain, the never-ending ache
Echoes in my empty heart, a truth I can't erase
Maybe I deserve the scars, the cuts that never heal
I deserve the pain, that's all I ever feel
(That's all I ever feel)
[Verse repeats]
They laugh behind my back, whispers in the hall
Walk along on eggshells, and wait for me to fall
Even the one I love, looks on me with doubt
Is this really love, or do they yearn for a way out?

[Pre-Chorus repeats]
I can hear their voices, ringing in my ears
Is this who I truly am? All these doubts and fears?

[Chorus repeats]
They all say I deserve the pain, the never-ending ache
Echoes in my empty heart, a truth I can't erase
Maybe I deserve the scars, the cuts that won't heal
I deserve the pain, that's all I ever feel
(That's all I ever feel)
[Guitar solo]
(That's all I ever feel)
[Breakdown] [Bridge]
Is this how my story ends? Written in defeat?
No silencing these voices, to make my pain complete?
If I could find the strength, I would go beyond
But pain has now defined me, and all my hope is gone!

[Chorus repeats]
I know I deserve the pain, the never-ending ache
Echoes in my empty heart, a truth I can't erase
I deserve the scars, the cuts that won't heal
I deserve the pain, that's all I ever feel
[Outro]
[Chorus repeats]
They all say I deserve the pain, the never-ending ache
Echoes in my empty heart, a truth I can't erase
I deserve the scars and these cuts that never heal
I deserve the pain, that's all I ever feel

[Outro]
(That's all I ever feel)
[End]

Act of Corrosion - 03 - Deserve

Inspiration: Based on the notion of being a good father but a bad husband

--------------
LYRICS:

Innocent eyes upon me, I'm their guiding light
But in the shadows, a love grows cold tonight
I build castles in the sand, watch them wash away
While dreams we shared fade with each passing day

Torn between two worlds, one bright, one blue
Giving all I've got, but never breaking through

I'm a hero in one life, a ghost in another
Caught between the cracks, trying to recover
Pouring out my soul, where the grass grows green
Leaving barren earth, where love should have been

Lights glowing softly, laughter fills the air
An empty seat at dinner, silence everywhere
I chase the sun all day, bring home its warm glow
But moonlight finds me alone, that's all I know

Torn between two worlds, one bright, one blue
Giving all I've got, but never breaking through

I'm a hero in one life, a ghost in another
Caught between the cracks, trying to recover
Pouring out my soul, where the grass grows green
Leaving barren earth, where love should have been

Can I bridge this divide, before the curtain falls?
Mend the broken bridges, answering both calls
The rope frays beneath me, no safety in sight
Juggling hearts in darkness, begging for the light

Torn between two worlds, one bright, one blue
Giving all I've got, but never breaking through

Pouring out my soul, where the grass grows green
Leaving barren earth, where love should have been

I'm a hero in one life,  a ghost in another
Caught between the cracks, trying to recover
Pouring out my soul, where the grass grows green
Leaving barren earth, where love should have been

Echoes of laughter, whispers of regret
Don't let the tale be over, please don't let the sun set

Act of Corrosion - 04 - Between Two Worlds

Inspiration: Based on a hypothetical conversation with friends, I asked myself, "What would I say to my loved ones if I passed on, but could give them a message from beyond."

----- LYRICS -----

A cold wind whispers through the trees
My name in stone, for eternity
But don't you cry, don't you weep
I'm still here, beyond where eyes can see
Shadows lengthen, day grows dim
You will find me at twilight's rim
Though flesh is gone, my spirit stays
I’ll watch for you through darker days

This world was cruel, it wore me down (wore me down)
But now it’s peace, that I have found (makes no sound)

I'm not gone, I'm just clearing the way
For when you cross over, someday
Don't fear the darkness, I'll be your light
I'm not gone, just out of sight
(Just out of sight)

From out here, I see it all
The pain, the struggle, the rise and fall
Yet in your soul, a flame still burns
It lights your way as the world will turn

Though shadows fall and storms may brew,
Your light within will guide you through, 

I'm not gone, I'm just clearing the way
For when you cross over, someday
Don't fear the darkness, I'll be your light
I'm not gone (I’m not gone)
I’m just out of sight
(Just out of sight)

The world's not fair, it never was
We laugh, we cry, we fight because
Our time is short, our days are few
But in this darkness, I will wait for you

I'm not gone, I'm just clearing the way (I'm not gone, I'm not gone)
For when you cross over, someday (cross over some day)
Don't fear the darkness, I'll be your light (I'll be your light)
I'm not gone (I’m not gone)
I’m just out of sight

I'm not gone, I'm just clearing the way (I'm not gone)
When it's your time, you'll be okay (be okay)
Take my hand, you'll be alright (take my hand) 
I will pull you, into the light
(I will pull you, into the light)
(I will pull you, into the light)

Act Of Corrosion - 06 - Clearing The Way

Inspiration: Feeling tired of only being contacted when people want something.

-------------
LYRICS:

Empty rooms and hollow halls
Echoes of my silent calls
Shadows dance where light once shone
In this house, I'm all alone

Promises fade, dreams disappear
I'm left with nothing but my fear
In the quiet, I search for meaning
Behind my back, you're endless scheming

Lost in the void, no guiding star
Wondering who and where you are
You left me abandoned, drifting through space
Feeling discarded, like I'm a disgrace

In silence, I'm screaming, but nobody hears
I drown in a sea of all the forgotten years
Once I had a place, a role to play
Now it seems I've lost my way

A ghost in life, unseen, unheard
A silent song, an unspoken word
Lost in the void, no guiding star
Wondering who and where you are

You left me abandoned, drifting through space
Feeling discarded, like I'm a disgrace
In silence, I'm screaming, but nobody hears
I drown in a sea of all the forgotten years

In my solitude, I find strength
A spark of hope held at arm's length
Used and discarded, but I'm breaking free
No longer waiting for you to see

The value I hold beyond what I give
It's time that I learn how to truly live
You left me abandoned, drifting through space
Feeling discarded, like I'm a disgrace
In silence, I'm screaming, but nobody hears
I drown in a sea of all the forgotten years
Alone and abandoned, but I'll rise anew
Finding my purpose, no thanks to you

In the silence, I'll forge my path
Reclaim my life from the shards of the aftermath

Act of Corrosion - 07 - Discarded

Inspiration: Apologizing to everyone for retreating into my own darkness and isolating myself

LYRICS

---------------------

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand, no!
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks, within my heart?
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart

Woke up in this wreckage, another battle lost at dawn
Empty echoes scream my failures, my will to live, feels like it's gone
Clawing out from under blankets, but shadows hold me fast
Every one I know like phantoms, fading memories of the past

Trying to heal, but I push you away
Words left unsaid, day after day

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart

(The fractures in my heart)

Forgive me for the monster, the one that I've become, 
that pushed you all away, as my soul went cold and numb,
This prison built around me, the fortress in my mind
I stumble in this darkness, looking for, a light I can not find

Trying to heal, but I push you away
Words left unsaid, day after day

I'm sorry for who I am
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation is my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart
(The fractures in my heart!)

Wanting to reach out, but I'm paralyzed by fear
Of letting down my guard, and allowing someone near
Echoes from my life, all the lessons learned
Covered in the ashes, of all the bridges burned

I'm sorry for who I am 
Broken pieces, I don't understand
Isolation's my shield, but it's tearing me apart
Can you see the cracks?
The fractures in my heart?

I'm sorry for who I've become
I try to fight, but I feel so numb
Isolation's my prison, can you set me free?
I'm begging you to help me become who I'm meant to be

Act of Corrosion - 08 - Fractured

The first single from the second ACT OF CORROSION album, "Shattered Silence!"

Inspiration: A friend's struggle with being seen as only "the good guy," standing up for yourself and fighting back

Lyrics: T. Bacon, F. Angove-Plant

LYRICS
----------------------
[Intro]
I won't hold back, I'm done playing nice 
This twisted peace, I'll shatter like ice 
Let the fury rage, unleash the fight 
This war you ignited, I'll burn it all bright 

[Verse 1]
Sick of silence, forced to my knees
Your peace is a cage, can't you appease?
This calm you demand, a twisted disease
I crave a storm, a chance to finally breathe!

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffocating, choking on your control
This peace you preach, it's taking its toll
My voice is a whisper, buried and unheard 
Tonight, the silence will be forever stirred 

[Chorus]
I won't hold back, I'm done playing nice 
This twisted peace, I'll shatter like ice 
Let the fury rage, unleash the fight 
This war you ignited, I'll burn it all bright 

[Verse 2]
The peace you hold for others, a bitter disguise 
My pain ripped to pieces, right before your eyes 
Olive branches crumble, a truth I despise 
This war you started, and I'll watch your empire die!

[Pre-Chorus]
This twisted peace, a sickening game 
Your compliance, fueling the flames 
I'll pull out the words, the anger I hold 
Tonight, your end will finally unfold 

[Chorus]
I won't hold back, I'm done playing nice 
This twisted peace, I'll shatter like ice 
Let the fury rage, unleash the fight 
This war you ignited, I'll burn it all bright 

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Every hidden scream, every swallowed tear 
I'll shout them out loud, conquer every fear 
No more olive branches, this charade is done 
I'll become the storm, [Scream] this battle's already won!

[Chorus]
I won't hold back, I'm done playing nice (No holding back!)
This twisted peace, I'll shatter like ice 
Let the fury rage, unleash the fight (Let it rage!)
This war you ignited, I'll burn it all bright 
I won't hold back, I'm done playing nice (No holding back!)
This twisted peace, I'll shatter like ice 
Let the fury rage, unleash the fight (Let it rage!)
This war you ignited, I'll burn it all bright 
[Refrain]
(No more holding back!)
(I'll burn it all bright!)
[Outro]
No truce!  I will ruin you!
No truce!  I will ruin you!

TW: SI, SH, Unaliving

Inspiration: A "final letter" to family and friends.

----- LYRICS -----

(This is my last goodbye)
(This is my last goodbye)

[Verse 1]
From the floor, the room is spinning slow
The weight of life, takes its final toll
Memories of laughter, no longer make a sound
I can fell my body, slowly parting from my soul
Shadows dance across the floor
I think I feel my spirit risin'
Away from all the pain I've known
As the life drains from my eyes and

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could turn back time
To hold you close, to ease your mind
But now the darkness calls my name
And I'm left with all this shame

[Chorus]
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
My heart's final cry (Final cry)
I hope that you will understand
Just how much I tried to withstand, but
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
I gave it one last try
Through all the pain, and all the strife
I'm moving on to my next life
This is my last goodbye
(This is my last goodbye)

[Verse 2]
I'm so sorry, child, my beacon in the night
I'm sorry that I can't stay to help you with your fight
For all your dreams and against your fears,
To see you grow throughout the years,

I know that you can't understand,
Why I can't just "stand up and be a man"
But the voice inside has full control
And it just won't let me go

[Chorus repeats]
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
My heart's final cry (Final cry)
I hope that you will understand
Just how much I tried to withstand, but
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
I gave it one last try (one last try)
Through all the pain, and all the strife
I'm moving on to my next life
This is my last goodbye
(This is my last goodbye)

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown]

[Bridge]
In these final moments, I can almost see it clear
In this crimson pool I lay, trembling with fear
Thank you for the kindness, the love I don't deserve
But now I am a victim, of the darkness that I serve

[Pause]

[Drum fill]

[Chorus repeats]
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
My heart's final cry (Final cry)
I hope that you will understand
Just how much I tried to withstand, but
This is my last goodbye (My last goodbye)
I gave it one last try
Through all the pain, and all the strife
I'm begging for the afterlife
This is my last goodbye
(This is my last goodbye)
(I never meant to die)

Act Of Corrosion - 11 - Last Goodbye

Inspiration: Thinking back to a time when I "fell off the wagon," and the shame I felt in dealing with the aftermath of facing the addiction.

----------- LYRICS ------------

[Intro]
Cracks in the mirror, reflections gone black,
The weight of the world, it’s breaking my back.
I swore to stay clean, but the dark pulled me in,
The battle was lost before it could begin.

[Verse 1]
I’m trapped in this cycle, can’t find my way out,
Suffocating on fear, drowning in doubt.
The shadows are closing, I’m gasping for air,
My demons are laughing, they don’t even care.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fighting a war that I can’t seem to win,
Ashamed of the weakness that’s under my skin.
The shame’s like a poison, it’s all I can taste,
But I know deep inside I can’t let it go to waste.

[Chorus]
I fell into the fire, the flames burned me whole,
The ashes of failure now cover my soul.
I broke all my vows, now I’m standing in shame,
But I’ll rise from the embers and reclaim my name.
(and reclaim my name!)

[Verse 2]
The world is a battlefield, I’m losing my mind,
Caught in the crossfire, so lost in the grind.
Every breath is a struggle, every thought is a fight,
But I’m clinging to hope in the dead of the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fighting a war that I can’t seem to win,
Ashamed of the weakness that’s under my skin.
The shame’s like a poison, it’s all I can taste,
But I know deep inside I can’t let it go to waste.

[Chorus]
I fell into the fire, the flames burned me whole,
The ashes of failure now cover my soul.
I broke all my vows, now I’m standing in shame,
But I’ll rise from the embers and reclaim my name.

[Bridge]
I’m down on my knees, but I’m not giving in,
I’ll fight through the darkness, I’ll cleanse all my sins.
The road may be broken, but I’ll walk it alone,
I’ll conquer the fear and rebuild what I’ve known!
(Rebuild what I’ve known!!)

[Chorus]
From the ashes, I’m rising, I’m forging my fate,
I’ll carry the scars, but I won’t bear the weight.
I’ve fallen, I’ve faltered, but I’m not the same,
Now I stand in the light, and I’m taking my name.

[Outro]
(I'm taking my name!)
(I'm taking my name!)
(I'm taking my name!)

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Lights flicker, and the shadows rise
In the night, the undead cries
Strobe lights flash, bring the fear
The darkness whispers in your ear
Our world turned, as we embrace
Dance with ghouls in this haunting space

[Chorus]
The ground shakes, zombie rave
We dance through the night, be brave
The ground shakes, zombie rave
Join the undead, let’s misbehave

[Verse 2]
Beat drops and hearts stop, here we go
Through the night, our numbers grow
Neon lights cast evil glow
Techno vibes, now lose control
Spooky nights, the vibe ignites
Join our dance in the frightful sights

[Chorus]
The ground shakes, zombie rave
We dance through the night, be brave
The ground shakes, zombie rave
Join the undead, let’s misbehave

[Bridge]
In this haunted trance, we're alive
Zombie moves make the room revive
Join the dance, don't you hide
Feel the thrill, and let it ride

[Chorus]
The ground shakes, zombie rave
We dance through the night, be brave
The ground shakes, zombie rave
Join the undead, let’s misbehave

Ross Gaetz Vs Cell Owght - Zombie Rave (Main Mix)

Inspiration: Fighting against the voice inside my head

------------------
LYRICS:

The bruises fade, but the scars remain
In this house of whispered threads
Trapped within this cycle of pain
Wondering which blow comes next

Planning in silence, biding my time
Each insult stokes, the fire inside
Pushed to the edge of this paradigm
Where sanity and madness collide

How long can I endure this hell
The constant fear, the screaming doubt
From this prison I must break free
There's only one way out!

I'll end this torment, stop the pain
Stop the pain
Silence the voice that drives me insane
Driving me insane
Blood on my hands, but I'll be free
From the killer, the killer inside of me

Sharpening my blades to exact my revenge
Against the one torturing my soul
Every day getting closer to the edge
Losing my grip on self-control

Mirror reflects a stranger's face
Eyes wild with desperation
In this twisted mental space
Planning for my liberation

I'll end this torment, stop the pain
Stop the pain
Silence the voice that drives me insane
Driving me insane
Blood on my hands, but I'll be free
From the killer, the killer inside of me

Fuck the fear, embrace the rage
Break the chains, escape the cage
One final act to end it all
Watch as my tormenter falls
The deed is done, silence descends
But why do I still feel the dread
Deep in my mind I comprehend
This voice will never leave my head

I'll end this torment, stop the pain
Stop the pain
Silence the voice that drives me insane
Driving me insane
Blood on my hands, but I'll be free
From the killer, the killer inside of me
The killer inside of me

Act Of Corrosion - 12 - The Killer Inside Of Me

My rendition of the classic poem, "First They Came" by Pastor Martin Niemöller. Given the state of the world, it seemed rather fitting.

---------
LYRICS:

Streets run red, they hunt the meek
I turned away, my conscience weak
Blind to the truth, I played the fool
Now we all pay the devil's due

When they come, when they strike
Will anyone stand by your side?
When they come, when they rise
Will you stand or compromise?

One by one, they vanished in the night
I plugged my ears, shut out their plight
Voices silenced, resistance crushed
Now I'm alone, in shadows hushed

When they come, when they strike
Will anyone stand by your side?
When they come, when they rise
Will you stand or compromise?

Speak up now or be forever damned
Your silence is the blood on your hands
Unite or face the storm alone
The time is now, SO LET'S FUCKING GO!
YEAH!

When they come, when they strike
Will anyone stand by your side?
When they come, when they rise
Will you stand or compromise?

When they come!
When they come!

When they come, when they strike
Will anyone stand by your side?
When they come, when they rise
Will you stand or compromise?

Act Of Corrosion - 16 - When They Come

Inspiration: Wondering who will still be standing with me when the mask finally fades away

----------------
LYRICS:

I wore a mask, a painted smile
Dance in shadows, I walked a mile
Every laugh felt like a lie
Chasing echoes, who am I

Walls around me closing tight
Fading whispers in the night
Am I the ghost they want to see?
Or just a shell unraveling me

I'm breaking down these walls I built
Drowning in the weight of guilt
Can't you see the scars I hide?
I'm lost inside this endless ride
Letting go of who I've been
Searching for the life within
Will you stand or walk away?
In this chaos, can we stay

Every glance feels like a blade
Dulling deeper as I fade
Wanting truth, but can't you see?
The real me's buried underneath
Distance grows with every breath
A silent war that feels like death
I'm breaking down these walls I built
Drowning in the weight of guilt

Can't you see the scars I hide?
I'm lost inside this endless ride
Letting go of who I've been
Searching for the life within
Will you stand or walk away?
In this chaos, can we stay

I'm screaming out to fractured dreams
A heart that's torn at the seams
Revelations cut so deep
Awakening from this sleep
Can you hold me as I break?
Rebuild the trust that we can make

And I'm breaking down these walls I built
Drowning in the weight of guilt
Can't you see the scars I hide?
I'm lost inside this endless ride
Letting go of who I've been
Searching for the life within
Will you stand or walk away?
In this chaos, can we stay
Can we stay
Can we stay
