“Bulletproof Off” is about the risk of letting someone behind the armor, the moment trust becomes vulnerability and love becomes a loaded weapon. It’s a story of ignoring the warning signs, staying too long, and learning that love cannot heal someone who refuses to change. Sometimes surviving means rebuilding your shield.
“Poison in the Walls” is about what happens when the damage doesn’t stay contained, it seeps into the silence, the arguments, the memories, and eventually every part of a home.
This album goes beyond addiction. It confronts emotional neglect, manipulation, betrayal, shifting blame, and the slow destruction of living beside someone who could see your pain and still choose not to care. But it also turns the mirror inward, facing the anger, self-doubt, grief, and loss of control that followed.
These songs aren’t about leaving cleanly. They’re about surviving long enough to recognize what was poisoning the walls, and refusing to let it follow you into whatever you build next.
