“Anatomy of Darkness“ Preorders available ! Physical: Digital : The track and the video of Art of the Blade describes the struggle of living with emotional pain and using self-harm as a way to cope. The subject numbs his emotions through self-inflicted wounds which bring a sense of control and hope to him. His scars - while misunderstood by others - are a testament to his pain and resilience. Despite the desire to be free from this torment, he remains trapped in the cycle of self-harm. He challenges the shallow judgments of others and assert his identity beyond his scars. The lyrics end with a defiant stand against those who judge him, emphasizing his strength and complexity. Video by Lodge Productions.

No, it’s about scissors, razorblades and knives...” Every day is just a struggle Weight of the world upon my chest I can’t escape this heavy burden It never rests I keep a secret Sometimes this torture is too real Turned down emotions Hurting myself so I can feel My scars are telling me I want to be at ease, but I can’t Cut my spirit free I want to be at ease, but I can’t Want to get rid of all my anger Cutting is my way to cope When I feel lost and broken Mutilation gives me hope No one can understand Pain is my cure It makes me feel that I’m alive The art of the blade I’m in control The mitigation that I feel “Don’t judge the surface There’s much more underneath Are you really that shallow? The evidence of pain, carved into my skin I wear my scars with pride If you are truly concerned Then show me your empathy My heart cries, thinking about the past But now I stand up and fight“ I want to break free from this torment My story etched in my flesh Trapped in this addiction forever My scars are telling me I want to be at ease, but I can’t Cut my spirit free I want to be at ease, but I can’t I keep a secret Sometimes this torture is too real Turned down emotions Hurting myself so I can feel I refuse to let you judge me I am more than you all define So, this is where I draw the line Fuck you Follow Listenable Records: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: Website: Shop:
