Just another dreary night
Alone behind the wheel
The need to rest her weary eyes
She'll yield to fate's ideal
Some may say it's God's plan
I say it's just a shame
For a god that would take her
Is a god to be damned
Soon her eyes fall shut and then
The real hell begins
She wonders where she currently is
Or where she's soon to be
Is this dream or reality?
She sure can't decide
It will hit her like a ton of bricks
In death she'll soon reside
Wake up Christina,
Wake up Christina!

A living fountain of youth
I've searched to find for many years
Without any regrets
At least not yet
A living fountain of youth defies all time
It steals my soul
My heart and mind
No more lies today
I don't believe a word you say
I don't know what I'm hearing
No more times the same
As lonely as it is I'll stand alone
Even without a home to call my own
A living fountain of youth is not real
A creation, an illusion
Is it true that when we die, that there will be no afterlife?
Hard to accept, but is there any proof for any such afterlife?
No more it seems, they'll take away my dreams
Mislead me all the way, to rape and steal my days
Forlorn without a soul, given reason in its place
I know what the real answers are, there's no shame in reality!
No more cries of pain
As scary as it is the end will come
Perhaps it's nothing to fear at all
A living fountain of youth is all look forward to
I don't believe in faith that's ephemeral
I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you

Near (Yet So Far Away)

Witness the beholder of loneliness itself
A glimmer of hope
I soon catch sight
Why must you be so far?
Decrepit and disowned is the one who's cast alone
The shackles that keep me still
Have dissolved every ounce of will
Near, yet so far away
I stand before you now
Within mind's reach
But unable to see
The one I hold so dear that I can't think clearly
My regrets
But I must depart
It's the only way
A brand new start
A love that's wasted
Is no love at all
Withhold all feelings
Withstand the fall
Near, yet so far away
I stand before you now
Within mind's reach
But unable to see
Why the one I held so dear meant anything to me

Sights and sounds soon merge as one
Shapes and waves are one and the same
Insanity greets my doorway
What's that light around the corner?
Is it you, the one I love?
Or is it just another damned mirage?
A broken high subsides
Unexplainable light
A severed tie that I'll crave to find
I walk into the light
For it calls me near
And it welcomes me
For I have no fear
I know it's right
But I can't explain
My life goes blind
It's just a matter of time
A light that never dies
Soon seeks to pacify
Chemicals breach my mind
Watch life pass before my eyes
Insanity greets my doorway
I owe it all to the light around the corner
As death consumes all life
Faces, families, trials and terrors
Loves, hates, successes, and failures
Soon fall into sheets of empty grey
All vibrancy is lost
I'm stuck in infinite pause
All meaning is gone while I'm stuck inside this void
Pure nothingness
I walk into the light
For it calls me near
And it welcomes me
For I have no fear
I know it's right
But I can't explain
My life goes blind
And now my eyes

Ultimatum
06:38

To whom I write this letter
An ultimatum, I guess you'd say
Don't think for once that you don't mean
Anything to me
It's just, deep down
I know we aren't meant to be
[Chorus]
Believe in yourself and make today
A better day for you and me
Your own happiness is my priority
That's why you should leave me be
Weight receding off my shoulders
Free of those that keep me down
It's only up from here sincerely
Don't think I'll even turn around!
[Chorus]

A programmed metal project by Adam O'Dell.
I also put my electronic projects on this page under my actual name.

Amber of the Land recommends:
It's almost like Shenmue II background music but a little more intricate and synthy. I go into a little more detail on my fan account, but either way I think you should check it out.
go to album
So many textures, genres, variety, instrumental finesse. It's downright romantic sounding at times. I'd recommend it if you like the raw passion of old Agalloch and more progressive, insane things.
go to album
I think it's my brother's best album to date, with many catchy melodies. Some tracks take more from his past IDM nature, while some are more deliberate. All-in-all, a nice love letter to retro VGM.
