L Y R I C S : 
I see the truth in your eyes
I shook the noose that you tied
You loosen up all your lies
Afraid the angels survived

When you're choking
While you're holding
Me under will you let go

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

I found the pain in your chest
You say we're better depressed
You place yourself at the crest
Your sacrifice meaningless
I pray for you when your burning
You wouldn't do the same for me
You live on your knees for serpents

You
Break me down to
Build me back up
Can’t hide now
Living this numb
Break me down
Tell me you're done
When you say we're done

I see the truth in your eyes
I shook the noose that you tied
You loosen up all your lies
Afraid the angels survived

When you're choking
While you're holding
Me under will you let go

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

What if im drowning and I don't swim back up
What if my lungs give out am I out of luck
Would you forget me would you say you tried to
Save me
Save me
Save me

But what if I don't drown
I'll break your crown
I won't be slaved to your hatred weighed down
I won't drown
I won’t be broken 
You're choking 
Tie my feet to the stone and look down
I won’t drown

I DON'T DROWN (Prod. LaLion)

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Trapped beneath the surface, cradling my sorrow
I keep seeing patterns of a new tomorrow
Bargaining with muses, keeping ghosts at bay
Trying to remember how I lost my way

Gasping for salvation, sparks of sympathy
Hoping that, come daylight, they can set me free
Crafting odes to silence, I stand beyond the pale
When I invite my audience to watch me as I fail

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

[Verse]
Seeking your attention was never worth the cost
'Cause I keep having nightmares since our paths last crossed
But promise you'll remember how I made you wait
While I was busy wallowing in misery and hate

I wield these words like weapons, but they were never mine
Now I'm so sick of fighting, (just show me a sign)
I am not asleep here, nor am I awake
I don't want to fade, (with every step I take)

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

[Bridge - In Romanian]
Frântă-mi tace mintea-n palme, inima mi-o port
Prinsă-n cuie pe sub pielea albă ca de mort
Clipa-n valuri se destramă, sângele mi-e viu
Visele îmi sunt capacul negrului sicriu

Gândurile-mi stau alături prinse de fotoliu
Muzele așteaptă-n patul camerei de doliu
Dintr-o dată năvălit-au fluturi în stomac
Într-o baltă de cerneală lasă-mă să zac

[Chorus]
This is a script I can't rewrite
A cage I carved with too much care
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere
My structure holds, my seams are tight
Yet something monstrous waits inside
I kiss the dark and call it light
Then let it in, with arms spread wide

Hollow

Hold Me Down

Why do I bleed this way?

The world I knew is gone for good
Eyes once burned — we understood
Now blue light on every face
Trading touch for endless chase

They say “no time.” We comply.
Hours bleed while pages fly.
Wide-awake yet walking blind,
Warm little cage… then it grinds.

Look me in the eye (don’t blink)
Tell me we’re alive — not synced.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

I’ve seen marks in circuit shine,
Cameras track the body line.
Nature stands — we hollow out,
Living small in louder doubt.

I want you without the glass,
Truth unmasked, no filter pass.
Reach for you and feel you fade —
Terrified we’ll lose what made.

We were built to blaze and breathe —
Not to kneel beneath a feed.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

Rip it out — tear it down.
Burn the code — scorch the crown.
Run for trees — skin and bone.
Hold your ground — make it home.

(Help!) before the lights go dark.
(Help!) before they brand our hearts.
(Help!) before we’re names on file.
(Help!) before we lose the wild.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (rise up)
Cut the wires, break the lie,
Meet me where our eyes catch fire.
Not too far gone to feel again —
Breathe like we remember then.

Look at me…
Before we’re ghosts behind a screen.

Eyes Like Fire

You Left without a trace
Perfume haze in your place
These walls still hum your name
But they won't get replies not
Even a goodbye, no

My heart still feels your touch
But my head knows broken trust
Guess I didn't matter much
Cause you never cried for me

Guess I should have known
That we wouldn't last long
Guess I should have seen the signs
Your heart declined

Guess I should have known it from the silence
Guess I should have known it would end like this
Guess I should have listened to the words that they all told me
I kept buying what you sold me
Guess I never really knew ya

Should have seen it written over your face
Should have known the moment that you changed pace
Should have seen it comin'
Now you're lying with somebody
Somebody else who's not me
I hope he really knows ya


Silence, silence
Silence, silence
Silence, silence
Silence, silence

You checked out so early
I covered the stay
Left nothing but worry
Moved so fast like I was just nobody
Do you even include me in your story?

Guess I should have seen
That we weren't meant to be
Guess I could have read your mind
A thousand times

Guess I should have known it from the silence
Guess I should have known it would end like this
Guess I should have listened to the words that they all told me
I kept buying what you sold me
Guess I never really knew ya

Should have seen it written over your face
Should have known the moment that you changed pace
Should have seen it comin'
Now you're lying with somebody
Somebody else who's not me
I hope he really knows ya

Why do I bleed this way?
