EP: Gallows Writings
Story: Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
Occasion: Halloween!

Lyrics:
[Intro]
They say he rides again…

Lanterns shake like guilty eyes,
Every lie rides tonight.
⸻

[Verse 1 ]
I rode out
chasing reason’s light,
Through fields that whispered
“don’t look right.”
A schoolhouse mind, a skeptic tongue,
Where gospel ghosts still kept me young.
The bridge ahead,
the woods behind,
Each branch a question in my mind.
I mocked their myths
with teacher’s pride—
But laughter dies when logic rides.
⸻

Faith can’t save the man who thinks—
Belief bites harder than it blinks.

[Chorus]
Head count,
how many fears tonight?
One horse, 
no face,
no light.
You can outrun truth till your lantern dies,
But the headless ride never lies.
Count your doubts,
they’re all you own—
Every myth demands its throne.
Head count,
one more ghost to prove,
Lose your mind
to the move.
⸻

[Verse 2]
The bridge was there,
then gone in smoke,
The sky split open,
something spoke.
Faithless man,
you fed their lore,
Now ride, professor... 
think no more.
Pumpkin grin and saber flash,
Hooves like thunder, teeth like ash.
I prayed to math, I prayed to chance—
Both refused the dance.
⸻

[Bridge]
Head down,
don’t look back,
The horseman rides the scholar’s track.
Truth is fear
you can’t subtract—
Head down, don’t look back.

Logic bled, belief attacked—
He took my mind and gave it back.
⸻

[Final Chorus]
Head count,
no one left to find,
They say I lost more than my mind.
Now every story keeps me fed,
A candle where my head once bled.
Count your fears before they speak—
The rational die this superstitious week.
Head count,
my lesson’s taught,
The truth was just what fear had bought.

[Prog/Metal] Head Count (7/4)

Lyrics:

Break myself!
Break myself!


Can you paint me a picture?
Can you write me a letter?
Will you kill with a whisper,
Or make it all better?
Can you read me a story?
Can you sing me a song?
Will you tell me you're sorry
That you had me all wrong?

Like a wish from a fable,
I erode and decay,
Thoughts are growing unstable,
But I like it this way.

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Can you paint me a picture
Where we're playing a game?
Can you bleed from a whisper?
'Cause I'm calling your name
Can you read me a story?
Can you sing me a song?
'Cause I'm starting to worry
That you had me all wrong.

Yeah, I'm petty and vengeful,
You were right all along,
I'm just sad and resentful,
So I wrote you this song.

(The following program is brought to you by...)

Death!

I grow cold, as I fall into entropy,
(Let go!)
With intent and alacrity,
(Weave threads!)
From the depths of obscurity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Break myself for a moment of clarity

(Please stand by)

I grow cold!

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

Break myself for a moment of clarity

(Clarity)

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.

I grow cold, and I know how this ends for me,
(Let go!)
In the face of your apathy,
(Cut loose!)
On the verge of insanity,
Break myself for a moment of clarity.
