(hey guys i’ve had this sitting in my lyrics folder forever and so i decided to do something about it.)

Play the game
Girl, you got to See what tomorrow brings
Play the game
Boy, you got to be what tomorrow needs
For every time that they want to cut you down
Just start to climb, fight against the one who tries to wear the crown

Play it for the boys
Play it for the girls
Scratch and claw to the finish, play it for your world
Play it for your Heart
Play it for your Life
Play the game like it’s ending, draw your sword and strife
Play it in the Doom
Play it in your Mind
Play it for the guardian that you left behind
Play it for your world
Play it for your world

Play the game
Boy they’re gonna sell what tomorrow means
Play the game
Girl before they kill what tomorrow brings
You’ve got to trust your friends, when the world is looking grim (world is looking grim)
And you’ll ascend - if you give it all, you know that you can win

Play it for the boys
Play it for the girls
Blow it up, spark the surface, play it for your world
Play it for your Hope
Play it for the Light
Play it fierce, play determined that you’ll win this fight
Play it just in Time
Play it for your Breath
Play your body on a bed as you rise from death
Play it for your world
Play it for your world

Start game, apocalyptic SBURB
Cultivate the next world
Children that can talk about it
Live in paradox space 
Fighting for their own race
These might be our last days
Universe is our creation
Population: cancer
Find the puzzle’s answer
Fight the Condesce grandeur
I am not the hero that you wanted
But a player
Pawns can rise to slay her
This can’t end in failure
Playing for the ones who want to get away

Keep running!

Play it for the boys
Play it for the girls
Be a god, be a hero, play it for your world
Play it into Space
Play it through the Void
Play it backwards till the insides come out destroyed
Play it in your Blood
Play it like a Rage
Know your story’s never-ending if you turn that page
Play it for your world
Play it for your world

We’ve got to See what tomorrow brings

Play it for your world
Play it for your world

Boy you got to be what tomorrow needs

Play it for your world
Play it for your world

MEENAH:
steeled against trouble, perusin dream bubbles

got to persuade you
a lord on the run and he came from the sun
and hell try to invade too

we breathe for 4sk-t3r3z1-p-4bout-stuff
part of inky’s sbargrist project
music by kevin macleod

“My land is called the Land of Desolation and Ash and it is a wide expanse of ash heaps, some still smoldering for an unknown reason, and greek-style ruins. Everything is dark and broken, covered in a thick layer of cinders. Even the sky is blacked out, full of smoggy clouds. There is hardly any light at all, as none of Skaia’s light can penetrate the clouds. However, my God Tier is the Mage of Breath. So, the prophecy among my consorts (who are hiding among the wreckage) is, “We wait for she who can raise the wind to clear away the night.” So after I ascend, I can use my powers to blow the clouds away and clean up the ashes, revealing a beautiful land underneath.” I DID THIS SONG ABOUT THE CONSORTS OK i rolled with it

god ascend
god clear the sky
god raise your hand
god show the light

god bring the wind
god heal the air
god shine within
god, bright and fair

we breathe
we breathe
we rise
we breathe

we climb
we fight
we rise
we sigh

without a page for nepetaquest
part of inky’s sbargrist project
music by kevin macleod

“You’ve got many scars from taking on monsters much stronger than you, thinking you could handle it. The images of your friends dying have haunted you since seeing them in the clouds of Prospit, and continue to haunt you as you remember witnessing those deaths first hand. As the Page of Space, you think of running away to the farthest reaches of the universe, to get away from all of this, but you know it is impossible to run away - the memories will still follow. You have to see this to the end with the rest of the survivors, but you refuse to grow close to any of them. You can’t watch another loved one die. So you remain cold and distant - a far cry from the cheerful, optimistic person you once were before this all began.”

so here i stand
the clouds and the sky, try to pass them all by
but i can’t

dreams come too fast
cause i am the one all alone, we are done
and it’s passed

let’s keep making bigger spaces
i’m hiding from my dearest friends
memories can try to break me
but without a page the story ends

bruised, black and deep
the promise i made that i’d fight and i’d stay
i can’t keep

run from my mind
can’t cut it too close, like befriending a ghost
it’s unkind

let’s keep making bigger spaces
i’m hiding from my dearest friends
memories can try to break me
but without a page the story ends

without a page the story ends 

without a page the story ends

the story ends 

thief of void for redasatomato
part of inky’s sbargrist project
music by kevin macleod

“I’m a Thief of Void in sbarg, which is confusing for me since how to steal nothingness? It doesn’t seem to work at a glance. So I’d imagine that she’d have some trouble adapting to her tier mode. And in some obscure timeline, when we’d be fighting the final boss, she’d get this crazy idea to use her aspect in a way that’s to her advantage against the boss and sneak up on him and hold him down.”

all this time i’ve never known just what i was supposed to be
and now i’m staring down the throne of just another enemy
the king might reign but when he’s slain, create a world anew
screams of pain echo again and carry farther through:

the void
the void
the void
the void
ohhhh

and i’ll
steal
all
you’ve
ever
known
i’ll
take
what’s
mine
you’re
what
i
own

destroyed.

silver lining for 2spooky-ellie
part of inky’s sbargrist project
music by kevin macleod

“My planet is the Land of Silver and Holes. My land is treacherous, since the bright gleaming silver nearly blinds me when the sun shines on my land and I can’t see the holes. The worst part about my sbarg adventure is that I’m on my own. Apparently, there’s a time player in my session, but I don’t know who he is. I have to do a lot, considering I’m a space hero. I don’t know if there’s any way I can contact other groups and the brightness is messing with my head. My eyes are playing tricks on me. I have to get through the gates before I go completely insane on my own. Things pop out of the holes that I have to defeat.”

breeding the frogs gotta keep it careful
squinting my eyes when the sun’s too bright
where am i going and how can i get there?
no i’m not ready to face the fight

yes this world is absolutely blinding
that just means that i got silver lining

maybe i’m crazy and i don’t know it
maybe i’m scared and i’m going insane
little too happy and let’s just face it
all of these monsters have fucked with my brain

everywhere, holes, and there’s bad surprises
all on my own and i don’t know why
dizzy and shivering can’t control it
somebody kill me i’m waiting to … 

breathe life for spookycattlerancher
part of inky’s sbargrist project
music by kevin macleod

“i was thinking since my sbarg player is a lord of life, she would be traveling through her land (land of night and desolation) and all of her consorts would just be dead. every last one of them. she’d think she screwed up her land, because all of her co-players have alive consorts and plants and everything is just so ALIVE AND MOVING for them. for her, its a barren, broken wasteland in perpetual darkness. there’d be little signs around her land directing her to her quest bed. once she died there and ascended to god tier, she could bring every last thing back to life!!”

death
a shadow of a land
death
a game that makes us damned

death
the walls are closing in
death
the lord cannot begin

and where is light to guide me
where is life beside me

take my hand
i’ll find the path
take my hand
breathe
life
at last
at last
breathe
life
at last

(i wrote a song called victorytrickery about rose and doc scratch and grimdarkness to make my grand entrance back into song stuff wow sorry i’ve been gone so long i swear it was not entirely my fault !! anyway have some musicals)

Victory
Seems a cry from a true course
Footsteps fumble and hinder
Children slaughter, children fly

Trickery
Not a hand that could skew yours
Order not moving a finger
And I darken like the sky

See the horrorterrors’ truth
The fortune through the downpour
It’s my calling, and I’ve watched them falling
Still bodies to account for

Figuring
Calculate like machines do
Leave your spirit at the doorway
Walk alone. Walk in death.

Picture me
So controlled and the scene new
Stories broken into four ways
I am grim. He is breath.

Follow bloodprints through the halls 
The treasure we discover
Lies in rainfall, unprepared and painful
A father and a mother

Victory
Dissipates, it’s a cruel force
Something chokes within; it lingers
Feel the trickery
There again
