Pushing through the despair At last, we are gasping for air Hoping for one, but why should we dare Finding the love in what was not there Fighting intentions, we tried to atone Feeling the cold winds. Pierce through the bone…. So, when will feelings fade……. What are these feelings we’ve made Looking to find the futures we made Hoping for freedoms, but how will we save Through the static…. We remained so tragic Just our two souls’ elastic Bound by cruel twisted fates Thus, remained through static Through the static With you… Howling winds blow In these forgotten snows For the end comes for us all Apocalypse falls on deaf ears Navigating this capitalist nightmare for two Walking through silence and shadows with you For we are only static In this void as we walk through our dream states Walking through static with you…. (Spoken word) The scars of capitalism will consume us all Chaos brings order and progress As I carry a sword to pierce eternity All will be changed in this coming saga…

Shouting for someone to save us! Why have the gods fully shamed us? Just like our seas that are boiling While our humanity keeps toiling Constant fires that rage for days Ice caps melting from this constant haze Millions of animals are dying out The earth is withered and rotting now (Harsh vocals) Planet B There’s no Planet B, No Planet B, No Planet B Now lose your voice! It’s a dying world (Harsh vocals) Our dying world Planet divided by sheer ignorance Religion ruled with an iron fist But will we see an end to this There’s no Planet B, no planet B no planet no Planet B Our dying world…. It’s our dying world Society teetering on madness While millions weep tears of sadness Watching scum of the earth billionaires Instead of fixing problems their playing fucking spacemen instead! Sea levels continuously rising Gods hanging their heads and sighing Humanity, The Dead, The Dying Bridge solo Planet earth in a slow decline As our future slowly dies Witnessing our last sunrise (Harsh vocals) Planet B There’s no planet B, No planet B, no planet B Now make a choice! Spoken word Tax the billionaires There’s no planet B We are all in this together!

(Spoken Word) Sounds of wildlife deathly silent Only the sounds of swirling winds permeating the air Wearing my protective gear, I head out into the wasteland, that used to be my town Crunching of the ash, and fallout underneath my feet, I steady my gaze out to Find out if any survived… Nothing could prepare me to what I was to face After the bombs fell, my eyes saw clearly Religion is a cancer to this world Humanity’s own hubris will be its own undoing Human race reduced to mere kindling Fires to cleanse this world, from the sins of the past The future and for all of time immemorial I steadied my step one leg at a time step by step, for after the bombs fell everything changed (Spoken Word) Last journal entry Never thought I would be the last one left This darkened thought has not gotten to me yet Hear more laughter yet seeing no trees Just one more second and there will be…No more tears Humanity has killed itself through lost ideals and crooked agendas It’s just me and my former ghosts of this former world Only the wailing winds and rain pouring down upon me The last gut punch is thrown, and I am soaked to the bone Least I am not that far from home Facing the last vestiges of solace, seeing in the distance possible shelter Facing the end of this existence Hoping to find that final peace Trying to find that sweet release It’s game over for the human race Dark world singing to the end Dead world singing were the dead Humanity is finally dead!

(Vocoder) Dream State…. Sample Carl Jung quote …. Nightmare your nightmare Dreamstate nightmare Consecrated in my shame Finding solace in this pain Paranoid by constant tears Bringing me this grip of fear Floating through an endless space Just can’t feel my stone white face Will this nightmare cease to end or will it just repeat again… Constant nightmares haunt me so shallow breaths please let me go Facing my fears all over again Telling myself when does this end (vocoder) Embracing Dreamstate nightmare One more nightmare… Little world that fades to black Fearing darker forces that will fight back I cannot move, I cannot breathe Those piercing eyes stare into me Waiting until I am free from this insane reality Nothing but a dream state nightmare In this cage just let me be (Vocoder) Just one more dream state nightmare (Creepy vocals) Shadows cast against these crowds Seeing myself beneath shroud Pushing against the painful fight Fighting again despite this blight Pale grey figures hover over me As the paralysis takes over then (Creepy vocals 2) Little world that fades to black Fearing darker forces that will fight back I cannot move, I cannot breathe Those piercing eyes stare into me Waiting until I am free from this insane reality Nothing but a dream state nightmare In this cage just let me be Too fast, so fast….

about

The album was created from frustration, anger, sadness, joy, love and fear a culmination of stupidity shown during a pandemic. Civil unrest happening, so much chaos and disorder I figured this EP captures the best and the worst of times.
From the dream like world, we are now living in the nightmares we only read about as children. This is what I write and sing about the music that echoes these sentiments. This is what I bring to you all dreams and the nightmares to you all!
The NIGHTMARE is real, and this is only the beginning.

First off to my fucked-up family upbringing and dealing with all the traumas I have suffered couldn’t be any better of inspiration for this. To my friends Eric, Adam, Hannah, and Adam thank you for believing in me when I stumbled. Jeff, I wish we hung out more I am terrible for reaching out a lot of the times.

My newer family in Western MD you know who you are my GF, Bethy <3 in Washington State we shall be together soon my love! My besties in PA especially Nikita I have known since we were younger Goths ha my other PA friends as well Jeff K and NJ April M as well as a few other NJ friends. Last but not least my friends in the West Coast. I tried to include everyone not to forget my cat Caprica he knows how to cheer me up when I am sad. That’s right a shout out to my cat.
Finally, not to forget a special mention to the people that really helped out with the creation of this Dave “The Collaborator R, Devin B my Co-Conspirator, EmpireOfMisfits, Beau for their never-ending guidance and Paul M.

One other person who inspired me with this entire process the incredible Steven Archer from Stoneburner Ego Likeness and a ton of other projects the man is a genius check out Stoneburner and Ego Likeness go!

Special mention to my time in music journalism and meeting a lot of musicians and bands learning both what to do and not to do and all my convention friends and people I met along the way this album is also for you despite if you like the music or not!
