Sometimes doing the right thing hurts more than doing nothing at all. Empathy Thermalized is about those impossible moments where compassion becomes a weapon pointed back at yourself. Save the innocent. Destroy the monster. Live with the consequences. Every decision burns.
Driven by massive string bends, swagger-filled metalcore grooves, and crushing riffs, LYRA and RIOT trade vocals as the tension builds into a relentless chorus. The breakdown dives headfirst into the darkness, following someone willing to endure unimaginable pain if it means protecting another.
This is a heavy psychological story — a song about anxiety, sacrifice, and the unbearable weight of caring too much. Turn it up, let it hit, and decide for yourself… isn’t there beauty in deadly things?

Isn't there beauty
In Deadly things?

I reach my hand into the dark
A place where nightmares are
I feel the bite, I feel them Squeeze,
I feel them tear me apart
I push through further
I need to get to you
I won't stop, until it burns you too.
