🎹 About my creation process:

This is music I’ve been composing and refining for over a decade. I work from my own MIDI songs (full arrangements of guitars, bass, keys, drums), build everything in a DAW, program the instruments and use orchestral libraries for the symphonic parts.

Vocals are written and tuned with Melodyne, then processed with AI, always crafted with my intention and emotion. Finally, I mix and master everything myself.

✒️ Lyrics:

I wore the smile that others gave
A perfect lie I had to save
I played my part to stay believed
But underneath, I came apart unseen

They shaped my grief to fit the mold
And called it strength to not unfold
I bled in ways they couldn’t trace
With every mask, I lost my face

Not every truth deserves the light
Some break to breathe, some burn to write

These are the masks I wore to be
Each one a face, each one not me
I lost myself in every role
And left me hollow and undone
You saw devotion, I knew it was loss
The quiet weight of what I wore

I spoke in tones that weren’t mine
A borrowed hope, a fractured sign
I memorized the ways to bend
But never learned where I would end

My thoughts drew blood in quiet ways
A voice restrained for endless days
And every glance would weigh my grace
To see what pain I couldn't reward

No one knew the shape beneath
Ah, the hollow voice that dared to breathe

These are the masks I wore to be
Each one a face, each one not me
I lost myself in every role
And left me hollow and undone
You saw devotion, I knew it was loss
The quiet weight of what I wore

There is no self beneath the flesh
Just grief, memory, and shame

These are the masks I wore to live
Too torn to break, too deep to give
I watched them fall, one by one
But found no self when they were gone
No god, no mirror, no restore
Just ashes where I stood before

These were the masks I wore
