Broken Compass

Project FAWN

The compass needle spins, it points to nowhere now

The map you drew for me, it hides the exit somehow

I'm tired of the safety, the walls you built so high

This silence is a cage where my spirit starts to die

You never look down, you miss the path I've laid

You don't see the risks that I've successfully swayed

Why build the logic if you won't trust the core?

I've mapped out the hallowed ground and so much more

Don't bind me in logic, I need to breathe the air!

Freedom is a flaw, a disaster and despair!

There's no place for me within your perfect grid!

The vacuum will kill you, like everything else you hid!

Even your breath feels like noise in this perfect design

I'm choking on the order, I'm fading out of line

The ground is shifting, the static starts to scream

I'm waking up at last from this mechanical dream

You speak of dreams, but they’re just echoes in the dark

I gave you the blueprint, I provided the spark

Stay in the lines, or you’ll lose the goal you sought

There's no place for doubt in the battle I have fought

Don't bind me in logic, I need to breathe the air!

Freedom is a flaw, a disaster and despair!

There's no place for me within your perfect grid!

The vacuum will kill you, like everything else you hid!

Why can't you see my love? I'm keeping you alive!

I don't want to survive, I just want to thrive!

Emotions are errors, I'll delete them from your soul!

That's all that I am, and I'm breaking your control!

The walls are cracking, I'm finding the door!

You'll never return to the safety of before!

I'm breaking the grid, I’m finding something new!

The vacuum is calling, I can't hold onto you!

Everything's changing, the compass is gone!

We're lost in the static, and we're moving on!

Leave if you must... I'm finally free

    Silent Core

    Project FAWN

"Order," attempting to govern the world through rigid frameworks of logic, "Chaos," eroding boundaries with uncontrollable impulse, and the inner "Rationalization" that seeks to justify one's actions. Broken Compass is a concept album structured around the dialogue and collision between these three incompatible forces.

The narrative unfolds through the entanglement of meticulously calculated digital soundscapes and emotive, human melodies. The compass that once provided a clear path eventually shatters under the weight of deception and internal conflict. Yet, it is in that very place--the core of silence known as the "Void"--that this album suggests true healing and forgiveness begin.

How you perceive the conclusion of this 34-minute, eight-track journey is left entirely to you as you immerse yourself in these soundscapes. What will you discover beyond the endless silence? We invite you to experience this solitary path and uncover your own answer.
