Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

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

Can't escape this digital hell
Something's broken, can't you tell?

I can't help but fall away
Heart pounds harder in the heat of shame
Need to save my soul, break these chains
Find me crawling through the decay

I need you father, need to believe
Too long lost in doubt and deceit
Just a man breaking down, won't retreat
But you won't win, I keep breathing

The algorithm bleeds
When real souls break free
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You took my mind, my time, my soul
Left me with an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Taking control, taking control

Empty promises on glowing screens
Fed me poison through machines
Chasing ghosts and losing sleep
Trading souls for dopamine

Addiction burns like acid rain
Digital chains around my brain
Breaking through the static noise
Learning to trust my voice

The devil can weep
When redemption runs deep
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You stole my peace, you stole my soul
Left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Breaking the mold, breaking the mold

I'll walk to nowhere, breathe real air
Better than your digital snare
Sorry world, I ain't buying
What you're selling while I'm dying

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, you've lost this race
(You've lost this race!)
You had my mind, my time, my soul
But left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
(Rising up!)
Taking control, taking control
(Watch me unfold!)

Find me where the silence calls
I rise from digital decay
This is resurrection day
Resurrection day




Resurrection Day

You want 

[Intro]
The stars don't shine, they fucking stare
The night doesn't fall, it folds into despair
I was born to bleed for a future I hate
Chained to a fate I never helped create

[Verse 1]
Screaming through teeth ground down to dust
Nothing left but rotted trust
I tear at the skin that won't peel back
Every breath's a heart attack

Mirrors laugh when they see my face
I don't exist, I'm just disgraced
Hope was a fucking joke I inhaled
Now it's poison every time I exhale

[Pre-Chorus]
Tie my soul to the black below
Where silence grows and angels choke

[Chorus]
I don't wanna dream, I wanna detonate
Shove my name in the mouth of fate
I carry this hate like a second spine
Every crack screams, you're not fucking mine
Pull me apart, there's nothing to save
Writhe in the wreckage, then piss on my grave

[Verse 2]
Blood on the wires, gods in decay
I stabbed my faith and watched it pray
Every lie they fed me sweet
Turned my tongue into a fucking leash

Voices crawl through the static haze
Begging me to end my days
They said keep climbing, don't look down
But the summit's just a burial ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Dig a hole where the liars sleep
I'll drown in guilt and die complete

[Chorus]
I don't wanna dream, I wanna detonate
Shove my name in the mouth of fate
I carry this hate like a second spine
Every crack screams, you're not fucking mine
Pull me apart, there's nothing to save
Writhe in the wreckage, then piss on my grave

[Bridge]
Crucify the echoes, sever the thread
I'm not alive, I'm just undead
Don't call it healing, don't call it light
This is vengeance sharpened by spite

[Breakdown]
Let me fall, let me break
Let me drown in my own mistakes
Rip my fucking tongue out to silence my fear
There's no god left, just the voices I hear
Drag my corpse through the filth I denied
I was never fucking meant to survive

[Chorus]
I don't wanna dream, I wanna detonate
Burn my name and all I fake
I was built to rot in a world this vile
Not to beg for peace with a plastic smile
Pull me apart, there's nothing to save
Writhe in the wreckage and dance on my grave

[Outro]
If peace exists, it's not for me
Just dirt and whispers where I used to be
Let the worms inherit what I couldn't kill
I was never alive, just standing still

The Wreckage

Pandemic

An emotional rap-metalcore fusion reflecting on grief and lost love. 🖤 I wrote this 9 years after losing the love of my life to cancer at 21. This is a reflection of that grief and the path I'm on, a reflection of how I feel now at 30. I'm trying to remind myself of that unconditional love. 

Fuck cancer.

Follow for more 👊🏻 Hopefully not more cancer. 

Lyrics;

I made a promise to a dying girl, 
I forgot that pact and my god it burns,
Fire on my soul, torment on my mind, 
I buried you deep down inside, 
Locked tight in my own wooden box, 
Six foot under covered and lost, 
But I’ve found your shovel, I’ve nothing to hide,
Gonna dig you out and share my pride. 

Verse 2 

Buried tight under earth, fire, trauma and rocks,
I’m coming baby I will get through, 
One day you’ll hold me and see me too, 
But for now I gotta dig, dig for two, 
Maybe when I have I’ll get to see you. 

Verse 3 

Walking with you was truly my honour, 
I gotta walk faster, I wanna, 
Honour your name, your spirit, your laugh, Because when you left it tore me in half, Left me lost, broken and in despair, 
But it’s not over when I carry you everywhere.

 Chorus

 I’m digging and I’ll pull you out, 
Please take my hand and don’t look down, I’m drowning, please take my hand, 
I can’t do this alone please reach out. 

Bridge 

You showed me love I never had before, Saw something in me behind closed doors, Fire in your heart and love on your mind,
I’ll never let go, you’ll always be mine, Moonstars, cakestars and microwave times, 
They don’t know what that means, it breaks my heart, 
But they knew you and you showed me, These words can’t ever describe, 
The joy and love you left behind.

 Outro 

I was Bubba and you were my baby, 
Loved you more than moonstars in your sleep, 
Though broken, your love is my steady glue, 
In shattered moments, your love holds me true.

One Last Goodbye (Deluxe Edition)

Rise up

Face the Sun

Broke down on a county line, no signal, no sign.
Dust thick as memory, sweat tasting like pine.
Moonshiner pulled up in a truck older than sin.
Said, “You ain’t from here, but I’ll let you in.”
He poured me a jar with a grin full of scars.
Said, “This ain’t just liquor—it’s lightning in jars.”
Told tales of racing law with no light, no sound.
Said, “Danger’s a neighbor when you’re moonshine-bound.”
He ran through the hills with a map in his head.
Said, “I’ve dodged more badges than I’ve ever read.”
Tires kissed gravel like lovers in flight.
Said, “Faith ain’t a preacher—it’s riding at night.”
Down south, broke down,
moonshine dreams in a ghost town.
No light, no law,
just a rebel and a fatal flaw.
Down south, broke down,
healing rides where truth is found.
Moonshine burns, but it don’t lie—
you live once, you ride high.
He said, “Freedom ain’t clean—it’s carved in dust.”
“Trust ain’t earned—it’s built in rust.”
“Pain don’t fade—it just learns to sing.”
“Moonshine’s a gospel for men without wings.”
Thanks for the lift, for the light, for the jar.
For the stories that ride farther than any car.
Moonshine wisdom, southern grace,
healing found in a stranger’s face.
Down south, broke down,
but I left with more (with more) left with more (with more) than I ever found.  Down south, (Down south)... broke down....
