“Light” is not an escape from darkness—it is its echo.

This album traces the fragile, flickering journey from grief to rebirth, from ghost to glow. Each song is a step through memory’s fog, a whisper of love lost or found again.

Through haunting introspection and poetic clarity, "Light" unfolds like a diary written in shadow and lit by hope.

It’s an odyssey of baritone confessions, solitude-wrapped reflections, and spectral connection—rooted in the post-punk revival spirit but blooming through indie ballads, alternative rock, and cinematic storytelling.

This isn’t music made to chase light. It’s music becoming light—layered in melancholia, transformation, and the quiet defiance of continuing.

For listeners who feel in color, dream in reverb, and heal in fragments.

Light

[Verse 1]  
In the quiet of twilight, I wander through memories,  
Glimmers of hope dance softly as the night sets me free.  
Every step on this winding road whispers secrets untold,  
Searching for truth in silence, where stories of light unfold.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I feel the pulse of the night—a heartbeat steady and true,  
Each shadow teaches me that darkness can birth something new.  

[Chorus]  
Light, guide me through this endless night,  
Where dreams and fragile hopes ignite.  
Even when I’m lost in my own unknown,  
I cling to the strength I’ve always known—  
Though I sometimes fade away into darkness alone,  
Your gentle radiance brings me back home.  

[Verse 2]  
Underneath a silver moon, reflections shimmer in my eyes,  
I confront my deepest fears, embracing truth without disguise.  
In the quiet solitude of night, I learn to face my plight,  
For in each trial I discover that the only way out is through concept, right.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
In the stillness, my soul confides its silent decree,  
That every challenge builds the strength to set my spirit free.  

[Bridge]  
When the weight of the world grows heavy on my heart,  
I remember that to heal, I must play my part.  
Every storm I brave reveals the courage within,  
For light emerges when I let the journey begin.  

[Chorus – Reprise]  
Light, shine through this deep midnight blue,  
Illuminate the path, make every dream come true.  
Even when darkness tries to pull me apart,  
I hold on to the wisdom deep within my heart—  
Though I may sometimes fade away into darkness alone,  
Your steadfast glow reminds me I’m never on my own.  

[Outro]  
As the morning breaks, I rise renewed and bright,  
Carrying lessons learned through the long, silent night.  
In every shadow, your love cuts right through,  
For the only way out is through concept—and through you.

I still hear your voice in the quiet night,
Soft and low, like a fading light.
Memories linger; they won’t let go.
In the silence, your echoes flow.

[Chorus]
Oh, the echoes of you, they remain,
In every whisper, in every pain.
Though you’re gone, you’re still near;
In the echoes, I feel you here.

[Verse 2]
Shadows dance where we used to be,
Moments frozen in my memory.
The world moves on, but I’m stuck in place,
Searching for you in empty space.

Time can’t erase what the heart holds tight;
Love’s imprint remains in the fading light.
Though the days pass and seasons change,
The echoes of you still feel the same.

Oh, the echoes of you, they remain,
In every whisper, in every pain.
Though you’re gone, you’re still near;
In the echoes, I feel you here.

Echoes of You

[Verse 1]  
Flickers of you haunt these shattered halls,  
Cold light through blinds; I’m drowning in the fall.  
Whispered secrets echo where we once lay,  
Now shadows choke the words I couldn’t say.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rou, I’m tethered to the ghost of what we were,  
Fractured hopes in every silent blur.  

[Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I’m broken on the edge of wanting you again,  
Lost in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Verse 2]  
Night air tastes of all the things we lost;  
Your absence like a knife, it cuts across.  
I trace your name in frost upon my skin,  
Each letter burns a wound I’ll never mend.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rou, your echo’s all that stirs my hollow heart;  
I’m falling into pieces torn apart.  

[Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou, your name’s a blade I chase through endless rain.  
I slip beneath the weight of all I can’t contain,  
Drowning in the ache, I’m bleeding for Rou.  

[Bridge]  
Walls close in on truths we left unsaid.  
If tears could ransom, I’d pay with every breath.  
Rou, I’d walk through fire just to feel you near,  
But fear remains the final voice I hear.  

[Final Chorus]  
This cruel game stole the warmth right from my veins.  
Rou… your name’s the echo in my hollow frame.  
And I’ll wait in darkness, hoping you remain,  
The ghost I’m still bleeding for — Rou.

Cruel Game

[Verse 1]
In the labyrinth of midnight, we wander through sorrow’s hall,
Rou, your spectral touch ignites a fragile, haunted call.
Within these silent chambers where lost hearts dare to roam,
I whisper your name in echoes, never quite the same.

[Pre-Chorus] 
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou,
In the depths of despair, I’m drawn back to you.

[Chorus]
Whispers haunt my sleepless nights,
Your memories—ghosts within my mind.
Whispers of Rou, whispers of Rou,
In the silence, I cannot leave you behind.
Through you, Rou, perhaps I dare to love you, Rou.

[Verse 2]
Under a pallid moon and skies that weep with time,
Your eyes, like fading lanterns, flicker in my mind.
Every tear that carves the page reveals a love grown rue,
Rou, oh Rou, my soul is marked by the grief of you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou,
In the gloom of night, I’m forever drawn to you.

[Chorus]
Whispers haunt my sleepless nights,
Your memories—a shadow in my mind.

In the silence, I cannot leave you behind.
Through you, Rou, perhaps I dare to love you, Rou.

Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou,
In the gloom of night, I’m forever drawn to you.

Whispers haunt my sleepless nights,
Your memories—a shadow in my mind.
Whispers of Rou, whispers of Rou,
I’m adrift in endless darkness, eternally confined.
Through you, Rou—through you, through you, Rou,

Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou,
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou,
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou.

Whispers of Rou

[Verse 1]  
You're so calm when you're unraveling, dear,  
You're a dream when you're not listening, dear—  
I'm fading.  

[Verse 2]  
You're the only one who swears there's nothing  
Left to feel in this connection—  
That's your grand confession.  
You're a last kiss, a static echo,  
The applause after affection—  
It defines you, too.  

You can't pretend while I'm away  
That you won't play back every day  
The ways we lost control.  
But don't reach out—I'm  
Residing in a silence  
That won't take your name anymore.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Something to post,  
Something to prove,  
Nothing feels close  
When there's nothing to lose (ah, ah).  

[Chorus]  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
We've got two hundred eyes that saw us last night.  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
Your lips were saying love, but your eyes said goodbye.  
Sleep tight, spotlight—  
Pretend it's right, pretend it's right,  
Pretend tonight.  

[Verse 3]  
You're the only version of my fiction  
That I almost believed—through  
All the staged conviction.  
You're a past fever, last teaser—  
I'm scrubbing off the preview  
Of how we once aligned.  

[Bridge]  
Don't try to find me—  
I'm parked between regret and reinvention.  
That kiss on 4th and Vine—  
It played like cinema,  
But it meant decline.  

[Chorus – Reprise] 
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
We've got two hundred eyes that saw us last night.  
Sleep tight, streetlight—  
Your lips were saying love, but your eyes said goodbye.  
Sleep tight, spotlight—  
Pretend it's right, pretend it's right,  
Pretend tonight.

Public Display of Affection

[Verse 1]
She says,
It helps with the lights out.
Her rabid glow
Is like braille to the night.

She swears
I'm a slave to the details,
But if your life is such a big joke,
Why should I care?

[Chorus]
The clock is set for nine,
But you know you're gonna make it eight,
So that you two can take some time,
Teach each other to reciprocate.

[Verse 2]
She feels that my sentimental side
Should be held with kid gloves,
But she doesn't know
That I left my urge in the icebox.

She swears
I'm just prey for the female—
Well then hook me up and throw me, babycakes,
'Cause I like to get hooked.

[Chorus 2]
The clock is set for nine,
But you know you're gonna make it eight.
All the people that you've loved—
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.

I've been swinging all the time.
Think it's time I learned your way.
I picture you and me together—
In the jungle, it will be okay.

[Bridge]
I'll bring you when my lifeboat
Sails through the night—
That is supposing that
You don't sleep tonight.

[Verse 3]
It's like learning a new language,
Helps me catch up on my mind.
If you don't bring up those lonely parts,
This could be a good time.

It's like learning a new language—
You come here to me.
We'll collect those lonely parts
And set them down.

You come here to me.

[Outro]
She says brief things,
Her love's a pony,
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,
Her love's a pony,
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,
Her love's brief,
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,
Her light is brief,
My darkness eternal.

The Clock

[Verse 1]  
The neon hums, but no one listens.  
Footsteps echo down the empty street.  
A cigarette burns in slow precision—  
Flickers out, just like last week.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Every window hides a story.  
Every shadow speaks in tongues.  

[Chorus]  
But I keep walking, I keep fading,  
Through the static of the night.  
I hear your voice, but it’s just memory—  
Another ghost in flashing light.  

[Verse 2]  
Strangers pass with hollow faces,  
Eyes reflect the city’s glow.  
Somewhere deep, the trains keep running,  
Parallel to what we know.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Every window hides a story.  
Every shadow speaks in tongues.  

[Chorus]  
But I keep walking, I keep fading,  
Through the static of the night.  
I hear your voice, but it’s just memory—  
Another ghost in flashing light.  

[Bridge]  
I saw your name carved in pavement,  
Washed away in last night’s rain.  
The skyline flickers like a warning,  
But I don’t care to read the signs.  

[Outro]  
I keep walking... I keep fading...  
Just a whisper through the wires.

Keep Walking

[Verse 1]
I painted our walls in fields of emerald light.
Every stroke a promise that we’d never die.
Now the brush sits empty in my trembling hand;
Colors bleed together where I try to stand.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your laughter filled these halls with springtime air.
Now silence blooms in every corner, everywhere.

[Chorus]
My favorite color is green, ‘cause that was always you.
A forest in your eyes, I’m lost inside the truth.
I drown in every shade of what I cannot hold.
My favorite color is green; now it’s all gone cold.

[Verse 2]
Leaves fall like memories along this lonely street.
I trace your footprints in the damp beneath my feet.
Guitar strings hum your name in minor harmonies;
They ring like distant echoes of what could be.

[Pre-Chorus]
Rou, I reach for something only ghosts can give—
A hue, haunts me more than teaching me to live.

[Chorus]
My favorite color is green, ‘cause that was always you.
A forest in your eyes, I’m lost inside the truth.
I drown in every shade of what I cannot hold.
My favorite color is green; now it’s all gone cold.

[Bridge]
But I keep walking, I keep fading,
Through the static of the night.
I hear your voice, but it’s just memory—
Another ghost in flashing light.

[Final Chorus]
My favorite color is green; every leaf reminds me.
They ring like distant echoes of what we could be.
Guitar strings hum your name in minor harmonies.
My favorite color is green—your color. It’s now on me.

Your Color

[Verse 1]
My world was once a sapphire shade of blue,
The sky above was honest—lines all true.
You came alive like ivy on cold stone;
Now emerald vines grow where I roam.

[Pre-Chorus]
As I keep walking, I keep eroding,
Through the static of the night,
I hear your voice—but it’s just memory,
A flicker buried out of sight.

[Chorus]
My favorite color now has turned to green—
It drips from leaves, it stains the unseen.
You wore it soft, like dawn behind the rain—
Now it clings to me like barnacles on pain.
I bear your sorrow in fractured dreams;
I walk on... still beating.

[Verse 2]
In misty fields, I walk alone.
Green shadows flicker where we called home.
My hands once reached for skies of blue,
But every touch now leads back to you.

[Pre-Chorus – Variant]
And I keep walking, I keep eroding,
Through the static of the night,
I hear your laugh—but it’s just memory,
A pale star lost in fading light.

[Chorus – Variant]
My favorite color now is verdigris green—
It drips from leaves, it stains the unseen.
I trace your pulse through every leaf—
Each is a wound that time won’t relieve.
I bear your sorrow in fractured dreams;
I walk on... still beating.

[Bridge]
I am a broken shadow still,
Scarred by sapphire, torn by green’s chill.
Yet in the quiet, faint echoes weave—
Your soul rides on the autumn breeze.

[Final Chorus – Reprise]
My favorite color now is haunted green—
Fused with my sapphire past into teal.
It binds our fractured echoes in between—
A wounded heart that only time can heal.
I bear your sorrow in fractured dreams;
I walk on… heart still beating.

[Outro]
A wounded heart that only time can heal,
My favorite color now is haunted teal.

Haunted Green

[Verse 1]
I carved your whispers into stone,
Traced every fault you sold me on.
You lit the fuse and watched me burn—
Now I bleed truths you’ll never learn.

[Pre-Chorus]
I chased your ghosts down every street,
But some machines refuse to sleep.
So let me fall where I belong—
A silhouette in your closed song.

[Chorus]
I’ll be the villain in your frame,
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame.
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines—
I don’t need your mercy this time.
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall;
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call.
Some truths don’t need a crown—
I’ll wear this crooked gown.

[Verse 2]
You stacked your verdict in the air,
Built a courthouse on thin air.
You called me liar, prayed I’d fight,
But I let go—you keep your light.

[Pre-Chorus]
No more reflections in your glass,
No more cage behind the mask.
I’ll drift away where stories end—
Your broken hearts won’t drag me in.

[Chorus]
I’ll be the villain in your frame,
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame.
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines—
I don’t need your mercy this time.
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall;
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call.
Some truths don’t need a crown—
I’ll wear this crooked gown.

[Bridge]
Don’t plead for reasons I won’t give.
Don’t pray I stay to make you live.
Some scars become their own refrain—
I’ll haunt your mind, unchained, unnamed.

[Chorus]
I’ll be the villain in your frame,
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame.
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines—
I don’t need your mercy this time.
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall;
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call.
Some truths don’t need a crown—
I’ll wear this crooked gown.

[Outro]
Fade me out in your memory,
A cautionary melody.
Let me be the worst you’ve known—
I’m finally free to walk alone.

Fade me out from you, Rou,
I'll never be with you.
Fade me out from you, Rou,
I'm never coming back to you.

Villain in Your Frame

[Verse 1]  
I walk through streets where silence screams,  
A twisted hush of broken dreams.  
The flicker lights, they burn and fade—  
A city drowning in its shade.  

[Verse 2]  
The sky is cracked like fragile glass,  
A haunted echo from the past.  
Footsteps vanish into air—  
I chase a ghost that isn’t there.  

[Chorus]  
Oh, the shadows collapse and bend,  
Twist me ’til there’s no amend.  
A roaring void eats up the truth—  
I feel the chill of a wasted youth.  

[Bridge]  
Ashes whisper through the night,  
Whisper lies, then take to flight.  
Winds are howling, cruel and cold,  
Spinning secrets left untold.  

[Verse 3]  
We build our towers out of stone,  
But every wall comes crashing down.  
The static hum fills every space—  
It masks the tears upon my face.  

[Final Chorus]  
Oh, the shadows collapse and bend,  
Twist me ’til there’s no amend.  
A roaring void eats up the truth—  
I feel the chill of a wasted youth.

Shadows Collapse

[Verse 1]
In twilight’s grip, I drift through fading memories,
A lone hope flickers as night claims its due.
Each step along shadowed streets murmurs lost confessions,
Where silence reveals truths emerging anew.

[Pre-Chorus]
The city pulses deep—a cold, relentless beat,
Dark echoes assure that decay can kindle retreat.

[Chorus]
It’s light, lead me through this endless night,
Where shattered dreams blend with fading light.
When I’m lost in my own design,
I grasp at echoes to steady what’s mine—
Though I sink into the void, alone,
Your spectral pulse guides me back home.

[Verse 2]
Beneath a waning moon, vacant eyes recall
Deep-seated fears stripped bare against the fall.
In the solitude of midnight’s somber hymn,
Each trial unveils strength carved from within.

[Bridge]
In quiet shadows, the urban pulse resounds,
Revealing strength in cracks where hope is found.

[Turning Point]
As night bears down on a weary heart,
Faded scars ignite a slow restart.
Through storms, a hidden courage begins,
Where darkness breaks, a new journey spins.

[Final Chorus – Variant]
Light, burn through this ceaseless void,
Where hope and shadow merge—unalloyed.
Even when darkness seeks to tear me apart,
I hold fast to echoes deep within my heart—
In every descent, your spectral tone
Reminds me I’m never truly alone.

[Outro]
At dawn’s edge, I rise from the night,
Bearing scars that spark salvaged light.
In every lingering shadow, your echo is true—
The path through darkness is found, step by step, with you.

Spectral Pulse

Project KT (standing for Knowledge Transfer) is the solo creative project of Kareem Tyler, a multidimensional being navigating the constraints of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending artistry. Blending progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post‑punk ambience, and a touch of metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes rooted in raw poetry, violin-led instrumentation, and emotional tension.

After a life-altering accident that caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem reinvented his creative process with digital composition and visual art—turning personal trauma into transcendent expression. His music now explores loss, longing, and rebirth through long-form storytelling and orchestral depth. Though Project KT remains firmly his own vision—overseeing lyricism, production, and artwork—he is actively seeking a female vocalist collaborator to give voice to the remaining untold emotional core.

With a vibrant presence on Instagram and BandLab, Project KT continues building cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning. If you are a vocalist or visual artist drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT invites you into the echo.
