King Cyst - Chinese Wind

until adventurers come in search of treasure, what do skeletons do all day in their caves? maybe they didn't want to be created as an neutral-evil NPC, you know? maybe they want to, like, wander the face of the earth, or fall in love, or whatever living people normally do.


lyrics:

i'll sleep on the sandy floor tonight 
if i'm on my own 
it's not all that easy being me 
with the sand in my bones 
i'm not going home 

the mouth of my cave is yawning 
it's whispering lonely words 
i can't seem to shake them from my head 
like a skeleton living in darkness 
i'll never feel warm again in my life 

i'll sleep on the sandy floor tonight 
if i'm on my own 
it's not all that easy being me 
with the sand in my bones 
high tide washes over me 
and it fills in the holes 
i'm not going home

sandy dungeon (lonely bones)

Bayou Don’t Lie by Tony Gibbs
All rights reserved © ℗ 2025 Tony Gibbs

Sun goes down like it’s tired of the fight,
Mosquitoes hummin’ under every porchlight.

Mama says boy don’t stay out late,
But trouble cookin’ in an old iron gate.

Catfish skin on a cedar board,
Moonshine breath and a screen door chord.

You can smell that storm ‘fore it hits.
Yeah, you learn things quick where the mud don’t quit.

Everybody got a secret round here,
Buried in the heat and the whiskey and fear.

Bayou don’t lie, it just waits,
Lets you walk straight into your fate.
Water moves slow but it remembers names,
Bayou don’t lie, boy—it just plays games.

Saw her shoes by the cypress tree,
Didn’t see her eyes but I felt ‘em on me.

Cotton dress and a switchblade grin,
Lord help a man when the night caves in.

Gators roll where the shadows breathe,
Old men pray but they never leave.

You can run but the road runs out,
Then the frogs start singin’ what the dark’s about.

That river hums like it knows your sin,
Sayin’ come on in… come on in…

Bayou don’t lie, it just waits,
Lets you walk straight into your fate.
Water moves slow but it remembers names,
Bayou don’t lie, boy—it just plays games.

Granddaddy said, “Son, mind the still,
Mind the woman with the silent will.
If the night gets thick and the air won’t move,
Best leave with less than you came to prove”

Bayou don’t lie, it just waits,
Ticks time with your mistakes.
You hear your truth when the cicadas cry,
Bayou don’t lie…
Bayou don’t lie…

Sun comes up like nothin’ happened at all,
Just footprints fade by the waterline call.
Nothin' happened at all...

Bayou Don't Lie

Hooded Fang - Clap

So many here to see but you ignore them
and they only wanna hear what you've got for them
the only thing I fear is your intention
a thought I wouldn't wanna bring to your attention
we float as though we're relevant

Be for the Thrill

What you wouldn't do just for a smile
and you only wanna be here for a while
you and I know it's not your style
and you wouldn't wanna be known as a liar
we float as though we're relevant

Be for the Thrill

Be for the thrill and you're ready
what doesn't kill can be deadly

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Daniel Bonilla

Be for the Thrill

Reckless Youth is about how younger generations tend to be more risk taking, as they have their whole life ahead of them and don’t seem to value life as much. Most kids feel invincible, and that seems to wear off over time.
