about
"This album revolved around the Character's journey towards insanity. It started off with him witnessing the powers that be turning upon against its own people. The public was in denial and underestimated the possibility that these events would continue to impact their livelihoods in years to come. Citizens resumed their daily activities unperturbed, while grief and anger were expressed by some. During his escape, the Character was captured, then was admitted to a mental institution and forced to undergo rounds of therapy. The Character was rejuvenated with a false sense of purpose in life.
