Distance, the more you take away from me Vicious the valley final I can say, the nights I pray to the stars through iron bars Please lend me a ray of your light Beyond the pines of nature’s eyes I’m lost in a dream of silence scream Keeps me running and gunning through life Never free, never (free ever again) Nightly side, scient silence Sun is mine, when all is violence Running far, turn to char No one answer, no one answer Nightly side, scient silence Sun is mine, when all is violence Running far, turn to char No one answer, no one answer I pray to the stars through iron bars Please lend me a ray of your light Beyond the pines of nature’s eyes I’m lost in a dream of silence scream Keeps me running and gunning through life Never free, never

How have we been left behind Out of sight and out of mind But I saw you burn You kept me warm Saw a bright flash in the winter A mushroom cloud took my last picture It was so surreal I could swear it's real I could swear you saw the man Ever since it all began But beyond my clothes You only see the freckle on my nose Never thought I'd ever see you Making waves in tired bayous And I have unfurled My Sumitomo girl There is no past tense for you Color my life in blue I never needed someone I just want you And I know how this ends And I know how this ends And the blazing alarm Is tattooed on my arm Just cause you feel, Doesn’t mean it’s there Never you again

Awake Me 04:37
In my head On a screen I rest my mind through time See ahead I can't be Far away From the day Awake me Awake and let it outside I wanna see it clear Awake me Awake and make me alive With every single fear Journey on Through the dark In vast amazing space If I'm wrong We'd have sung Tiny steps Made alive Awake me Awake and let it outside I wanna see it clear Awake me Awake and make me alive With every single fear There is no promise on the other side But there's no reason we should run and hide It could be better The neon lights collide Far from the nether being sound and safe Veiling out the sight of brilliant days With all this anger The sound of music sighs

Wild flame, are you looking for your gown? Happiness on a string Back and forth you will swing Wondering why defeaned ears don't hear a sound Symphonies at your feet Somehow you never meet Wild flame, smile under hidden frown Quietly walk the street Come on and take your seat Drawn to love, chasing like a starving hound Can't take another bite Full of yourself, you cry Tiny hands cover your face Stumbling through at every pace Searching for the giving hand Building your home under shifting sand Tiny hands cover your eyes Funny how even good nature sighs I never cared what winds pushed you All I saw was who wore the shoe Wild flame, won't you guide the careless moth? Honey drips from your sides Slave bound to careless tides Stoic daughter, darkened days, you stir the pot Love and care you will leech Happiness out of reach Wild flame, smile under hidden frown Quietly walk the street Come on and take your seat Drawn to love, chasing like a starving hound Can't take another bite Full of yourself, you cry Tiny hands cover your face Stumbling through at every pace Searching for the giving hand Building your home under shifting sand Tiny hands cover your eyes Funny how even good nature sighs I never cared what winds pushed you All I saw was who wore the shoe

about

The Bipolar Disorder Project is a Romanian project, based in Brașov, fronted by the multi-instrumentalist Robert Cotoros, who died on 8th of November 2020, leaving behind the music to which he dedicated his life and the eternal memory of an incredible son, friend and musician.

"Black" was composed by Robert between 2018–2020 and includes different genres of music, from avant-garde and progressive metal to post-rock and pop. The album title is a reference to the darkness around and within ourselves that we constantly try to eliminate from our lives. The album encourages us to experience all the inevitable experiences of the human condition, from excitement and hope to suffering, loneliness and confusion. Only in the darkness can we truly learn who we are, and only by embracing that darkness can we move towards what is bright: community, our relationships, empathy and love.

The album was produced and recorded in Brașov, mixed and mastered by Radu Constantinescu (W3 4R3 NUM83R5). The album's artwork is created by Ilinca Ivanuca.

We, Teo Ardeleanu and Ilinca Ivanuca, would like to thank all those who helped us complete and release this album!
Mircea and Diana Cotoros, Radu Constantinescu, Andreea Danu, Alex Grigoras, Marius Muntean, Alin Stefanescu, Vlad Enescu, Petra Martin and last but not least, to all the friends and those who supported and inspired Robert.

Robert was a person who encouraged the destigmatization of mental health issues, which is why we decided to donate the earnings from the album to DepreHUB (deprehub.ro). This is a project initiated by Psih. Yolanda Crețescu with the aim of bringing together, counseling and therapy services for the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of depression.
