Nightmares - A song without a drum track or crazy synths, and with lots of empty space. Keeps me up at night, gotta fill that space!!!

I just went with it until it went without me.

Despite your best intentions, the voice in the back of your head never stopped. Tonight, you face the mirror, and turn around at 12 o'clock.

[verse]

Look at the glass, and it may look back to you

Another night, you dismiss as just a glitch in your view

and yet you take one more moment, deciding to hold it

Perchance what was there is still more

The dint at the edge shows how it weathered and aged

The mirror harkens to times when it was brilliant for days

And so remarking upon it, an image seems haunted

Yourself, but unlike who you know

[chorus]

At the mirror rim lies the end of your life

It casts a pall that is darker than night

It's you, not you. It's false, yet true

What became of your heart deep inside?

[verse]

Feeling the rage and the urge to commit

The sudden act to express inner torment within

You hurl a item right at it, the mirror is shattered

The glass now resembles your soul

and they say it's in my head

the anxiety the dread

and the sinking fear

that i might not last the day

but in the bathroom every night

can't help fear that out of sight

that a vengeful ghost waits for me with a knife

don't know how it got this way

how my scenery has changed

that the color in my life had gone away

i've stopped hanging with my friends

i don't go out, i don't have sex

cut all ties with the outside

so i don't die 

i think i'm trapped in a slasher

please stop your laughter

don't wanna be dismembered

i'll see you in november

when i'm not trapped in a slasher

I used OHC time this week to work on a new soundtrack commission for an upcoming game demo for "Shovelfall".

This is a WIP of the Boss Battle music. I was given the direction to make something fast and super intense!

What could possibly be better than today? The sun is shining, the birds are tweeting. It's so peaceful, and joyous. I am just so happy right now :)

Stare into the wall

Carefully where your eyes fall

Stare into your soul

What fears you most inside?

Cry alone at night

Block out the sun in day

When you see yourself

A shadow’s all that’s left

Hate all that I’ve become

But change will make it done

Start the smallest act

Find a bright shard intact
