I Broke A Promise

"∅"
I promised in the next one I'd shed some light on what the fuck's with all the weird cryptic symbols and what's with the lack of cymbals but I'm stuck inside this moat so here's some folk songs that I wrote in just a week keeping all the story bleak.

Nearly two years later and the world is still ending
Fire still fills the empty sky
The internal war is still raging
The world is relentlessly, always about to die
And yet it hasn't
The world limps on
With its broken legs and broken arms and everything ablaze in a fiery orange
And exactly how can I go on
Through this nightmare

(somewhere)
(somewhere)
I saw you in my dream
(somewhere)
All of the gods came together
Lesser deities behind
And they said "Let us give this empty set
A broken defective mind.
Let us wrap a granite blindfold around
the eyes within their head.
And in a cruel twist of fate
Let us give them an imagination
more dense than any book ever read."
(somewhere)

No Tears In My Eyes
02:23

"∅"
I've been thinking about your death and how you're gone
And the hard truth that the dead should be mourned
But there's no tears in my eyes
Only fear in my eyes
And I've been thinking what's wrong
Cause that conflicts with the sight
Of all the family and friends
Who have been hit a lot harder than me
Nearly crippled and encumbered by sad
But there's no tears in my eyes
Only fear in my eyes
And now I look like a jackass
It's hard to recognize what I am doing wrong
Maybe I'll start crying if I make this fucking song
Maybe it's all wrong to make art from this, it's real human death I'm dealing with
Who knows
I've been thinking bout emotions in my head
There's the regulars like sadness and dread
And there's a mixture of both
That gives a feeling of growth
That's all weird and fucked up
After someone is dead
And I've been thinking bout time
How it circles round and around
How we move on without making a sound
But we all have a choice
Let us yell out our voice
And believe that we care
It's hard to recognize what I am doing wrong
Maybe I'll start crying if I sing this fucking song
Maybe it's all wrong to make art from this, it's real human death I'm dealing with
Who knows

"stage name"
The world I've created is built on a foundation of desires
A safe space for myself is hell for those who light its fires
I'm sure they would revolt if only they knew who I am
And so I live on islands held by Atlas' bleeding hands
Oh, how do I justify this mess that I have wrought
Would it be better to keep hiding than to give it any thought
As the Aral Sea dried up in 1970
It was revealed that humans weren't what humans claimed to be
Ten thousand square kilometers reduced to salty marsh
Surely it's acceptable for us to be this harsh

"∅"
It all happened so fast
Your voice rang out
And all at once was gone
My thoughts went around and around, not one of them grieving
This weird half-dread, half-sad feeling never leaving
As soon as I thought I was fine, it happened so fast
And the brief contentment I held escaped my grasp
Dear Fallen
A wisp of dust on air you are becoming
And all at once it happened so fast

"∅"
Wake bright and early in the afternoon
Spend two hours in bed in my room
Go downstairs to have my breakfast and lunch
TV Dinner Mac and Cheese and Berry Fruit Punch
Eat and make my music sitting round like a hog
Writer's block just hit now the process is a slog
So much for this album being done in a week
Gifted kid syndrome acting up now because
I wanted to make things easier for myself
Just wanted to make things easier for myself
Stumble through the day, mostly half asleep
Instead of solving triangles I'm counting sheep
Lost in deep thought in my creative mind
I'm still bored cause my daydreams are blind
Writing down lyrics that I'll never use
Strumming simple chords and being rather obtuse
Wrote a few songs about the death of my friend
And how my emotions weren't impacted because
I wanted to make things easier for myself
Just wanted to make things easier for myself
The internal war has begun
And I'm not sure the battles have been bloody
Internal war is now raging
All across the earth
And I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I'm not sure
Spend each night not falling asleep
Spend each night not counting sheep
Lay still in bed with my earbuds impearled
Trying to self-hypnotize and see my fake world
Invokes a strange feeling but I see nothing yet
Sweating so profusely that my blankets are wet
What is that strange color beneath my eyes
Is it a lighter shade of black or am I surprised that
I wanted to make things easier for myself
Just wanted to make things easier for myself

"unknown singer"
Now introducing
The first crypto coin you can eat
Why bother roaming around
In a physical store this week
It's all here
In our metaverse
In our metaverse
Why bother going outside and seeing the cold winter trees
Our spruces are high fidelity, rendered with no winter breeze
It's all here
In our metaverse
In our metaverse
Ow, fuck! That stings! So realistically!! I love this metaverse man...

"△"
Oh, blue moon in blackest night
I see your bright blue glow
Radiate around me
Oh, blue moon in darkest sky
Open your eyes
Open your eyes and see
Oh, blue moon, my only friend
Chaos leaves me blind to your complex trajectories
Oh, blue moon, your radiant light
Your bright blue light shines
Surpassing memory

"∅"
Something lurks
And I give it a name with these songs
Something's hiding
And I give it away with these songs
Music is my way to appease
The beast that hides and feasts
As all beasts do
But it feeds off my joyousness and self-worth
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
"stage name"
Thanks for nothing
I'd rather just wallow in dread
You know me, empty set
I'm the beast that lives in your head
I, parasite, feed
On your happiness and self-oath
So strike me down
Do a favor for you and me both
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
"∅"
Oh, stage name
You are no parasite
What you represent
Is a world of beauty and flight
It's, of course, been trampled
By no fault of your own
So, don't you blame yourself
For my constant flaming home
"∅" & "stage name"
Oooooooooooooh
Oooooooooooooh
