13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

[Verse 1: lillybug]
You want to be the savior of the damned
To heal the wounds deep within this broken land
Can you see past all your faults through your vengeful lens
There’s a reason that you fail over and over again

[Chorus 1: Evangeline and Oncill]
Hover in the centre of a hole
Holder of the new age sword, inner shifting form
Ever-changing
Haldur waning
Ever-changing
Heart awaiting

[Verse 2: Evangeline and Oncill]
You act like you’ve got the weight of the world on your hands
But it’s not that hard, not that hard, no
The sword you speak to and the fight on broken land
Can you attest to all that you said?
Marionette with tangled strings
Will you wrap back around into me
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)

[Bridge: nshvll]
For the lie I take with me
All I’ve done was be there for you
Now it's done

[Chorus 2: lillybug, Evangeline, Oncill]
(In the centre of a hole
Of the new age sword, inner shifting form)
(Drop your hands and Take my hands and
Take your marks and Pierce the land in)
(when you find yourself back here
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting)
