Masquerades disguising pain with pretty pictures
Endless Fiction
Wear your crown ya upside down 
And it fits you it hides the truth 
I Can’t tell the truth from lies
Behind a brilliant disguise
Im hiding all of my demons inside 

Am I losing my Mind 
I know I’m drowning
But I’m still counting on me
My choices blurring the lines
I need to feel again
And make a difference
a hero, a killer it’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

Scars and secrets buried deep never healing
So revealing
I cant explain how you keep pulling me in
I’ve tried I’ve tried I tried to 
tell truth from the lies
Behind a brilliant disguise
Im hiding all of my demons inside

Am I losing my Mind 
I know I’m drowning
But I’m still counting on me
My choices blurring the lines
I need to feel again
And make a difference
a hero, a killer it’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

No need for ultraviolet or optics
Professional diagnostics
You think I’m crazy now,
You should’ve seen be before 

They used to have to strap me down and gag me. they used to have to pat me down for safety, I wanna stay clean, the dirt wouldn’t let me, I wanna be seen, I want a little safety

Don’t wanna be the monster that they’re looking to make me, don’t wanna be the problem, just rehabilitate me, don’t wanna have the Gana, I dont wanna be kind, but I’m about to lose my mind

Am I losing my Mind 
I know I’m drowning
But I’m still counting on me
My choices blurring the lines
I need to feel again
And make a difference
a hero, a killer it’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

Been alive long enough to know when times up
Clocks tickin decisions make your mind up
Kill a man for your purpose bigger plans on the surface I can smile but it’s never gonna be enough

I won’t break

"Kindling Tomorrow" reflects on the graceful act of passing the torch to the next generation, portraying a shift from personal ambition and past struggles to a nurturing role where one tends the flame without claiming its light, finding fulfillment in creating space for others to grow and shine. Through imagery of scars as maps, sparks catching in younger eyes, and warmth that endures beyond possession, the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of legacy and wisdom, where letting go isn't loss but a profound gift that sustains hope and continuity. Ultimately, it celebrates the quiet peace in mentorship and release, underscoring that true love and influence persist eternally through the paths we illuminate for those who follow, as the fire evolves into an endless echo of tomorrow.

Kindling Tomorrow

Fa La La La Fuck it!

I tried to fix it myself but the manual was in Latin

"Myth" - The truth they never tell you about transformation.

They sell you the phoenix story- the glorious rising, the beautiful rebirth. What they skip is the burning. The charring. The agony of becoming unmade before you can be rebuilt.

This track is for everyone who walked through fire they never asked for and came out the other side harder, not broken. Steel doesn't remember the furnace -it just holds the edge. 

The scars aren't damage, they're signatures.

Proof something was rebuilt to last.

Myth

Lyrics:

Yeah the way that you're broken, you're the perfect fit
Put your hand in mine, complete the circuit
You can see the light come on behind my eyes
We can share my heart to keep us both alive
I cut myself apart to make the pieces fit
Disfigure me until I'm perfect
We can share our skin until we forget
Where one of us ends and the other begins

The shape of you moves through my hands
We fell in love with holograms
I reach for you but I can't feel
These memories were never real

You were the sun in my sky, the light is moving away
The shadow that it casts of me is changing shape
The light starts to fade and now I'm afraid
I'm not a person, I'm not a person
You got me again, you're not what you seem
Someone wake me up another bad dream
I stay awake with my head in my hands
I'm up at 2am wondering who I am
You turned me into something that I never really wanted to be
And now I'm having so much trouble remembering
What you did to me, I'm not a human being
No remorse, no emotion, I became a machine

The shape of you moves through my hands
We fell in love with holograms
I reach for you but I can't feel
These memories were never real

The sun stopped shining, I need your electricity
You turned me into a monster, I became a machine
I tried to make you human, so I gave you my heart
When you leave my arms, my eyes go dark
