The Awakening
Released On January 7, 2025
With The Awakening, I felt the need to comment. The world was spiraling, and I couldn't stay silent anymore. The result was an album that blended cinematic textures, foley sound, and spoken word voiceovers. There's no singing here, but there's plenty being said. I was awake. And I had to speak. This is a broadcast. A signal. A warning flare to anyone still asleep.

Somnium
▸▾ Lyrics
The sleepers are near A mysterious facility named Erebus was discovered today Lost in the maze of your own mind Find the exit before you forget Remember the silence before the fall; the city's scream The sleepers are stirring Do not wake up Look for the way out Unlock your mind Remember Remember Remember Awake

Revelation of Worth
▸▾ Lyrics
Why do we work when no other species does? Your life is not your own; it's been sold to the highest bidder Break free from the chains of capitalism The rich get richer; the rest get enslaved The clock ticks but who owns your time? Wake up from the illusion of freedom The system is rigged and you're the pawn You're more than a cog in their machine Do not believe them; question the system The cage is comfortable but it's still a cage Break the silence; question everything What is the price of your freedom? They build the walls but you hold the keys It's time to break free The questions form Realization sinks in What will you do next?

The Like Paradox
▸▾ Lyrics
Likes; the new addiction Just like heroin only worse The likes just feel empty As empty as a glass house Why do I even need their approval? You don't and you know it Do I control the feed, or does it control me? Good question What's the answer? Fuck the feed Fuck the likes Fuck the norm Who cares? What's real when everything's filtered? Its all fake as fuck I need something real

Under Open Skies
▸▾ Lyrics
Under bridges where I rest my head A cardboard box, my makeshift bed The stars my roof, the ground my floor I brave the night's cold biting core At dawn I wander, weary, slow Into the shops, where warm lights glow "Could you please buy a bite to eat?" I ask, with hope to those I meet On crowded streets, I hold a sign "Please help me out," in shaky lines Some drop a coin, some look away I gather strength, to face the day Though sleeping rough, and feeling lost I carry on, despite the cost A spark of hope still guides me through Dreaming of a life anew

Stand for Everything
▸▾ Lyrics
In boardrooms, the plans unfold Davos man seeks control In suits and ties, they plot and scheme Shaping the world with their capitalist dreams They promise solutions for every goal But their real aim is power and control With digital IDs and social score They'll track and judge both rich and poor Take a stand Take a stand for everything you hold dear But we can see through their disguise The Great Reset's a pack of lies We'll have nothing, they'll own it all A new feudalism under their control We have to stand against the tide Of global elites who would override Our independence, our right to choose This is a fight, we must not lose Take a stand Take a stand for everything you hold dear Before it's too late

Live Every Second
▸▾ Lyrics
I navigated the crowded streets My trusty walker guided my feet My morning was filled with anxious thought The clinic visit had left me distraught Craving comfort on my way I stopped to treat myself today I swiped my card but it was declined I looked in my purse for cash to find Counting coins in my shaky hands Just enough to meet demands "Could you tie this to my cart?" The cashier's smile, warmed my heart I found a bench to sit and wait For the bus, that was running late Headphones on, volume up high My music drowned the world going by People passed and stole a glance Wondering about my circumstance Could they sense the dreams I chase Or just the challenges that I face?

The Watchers
▸▾ Lyrics
We tap and swipe, our lives on display The watchers know more than we'd ever say They see us with cameras on every street Our data sold before we can tweet We trade our secrets for likes and views Our privacy lost in the daily news The price we pay to stay connected Our personal space is now unprotected But if we pause and look within We might reclaim what could have been We'll turn away from endless feeds And focus on our real needs

Crucible
▸▾ Lyrics
Life, a crucible of cosmic design Forged in the fires of space and time Tempered by trials, we bend, we break In this grand furnace, our essence we make Crucible, crucible, crucible Crucible, crucible, crucible Deep in the forge of our darkest hours We emerge like a phoenix, with newfound powers Molten souls cooled, by wisdom's breath Reshaped, reforged, in strength and depth Born from star fire, quenched in brine A phoenix etched in our soul's design Deep in our core, dragon flames roar Reborn and unbound, for ever more Crucible, crucible, crucible Crucible, crucible, crucible
