The Great Art of Living

This is a song i came up with, Its a view into my dark canvas of a mind. "Fueled by Trauma and Pain, I create my Hope." -Harvest Against Nature

[Verse 1]
All my life, I’ve waited in line,  
Gripping this weight, trying to define.  
The pull, the break, it’s all I can feel,  
Caught in this space, is any of it real?  

(Every step...) it drags me down.  
(Every breath...) a hollow sound.  
Searching deeper in shadows and scars,  
But I’ve never come this far.  

[Pre-Chorus] 
I can’t let go, I won’t back down,  
Another step—can’t turn around!  

[Chorus]  
All my life, I’ve been crawling inside,  
Fighting this edge that I just can’t hide.  
If I lose my grip, will it matter at all?  
Or will I watch it all just fall?  

[Breakdown]
Tear me apart, I’ll take the blame—  
Every loss is fuel for the flame.  
Bury the truth, bury the lies,  
But I’ll rise again—no compromise!  

(Break me!) Break me down, I dare you now!  
(Choke me!) Wrap your chains, I’ll wear the crown!  
 

[Verse 2]  
Every piece I try to reclaim,  
Slips away, no one to blame.  
Wounds still bleed, the scars remain,  
A mirror cracked, I’m lost in the pain.  

(Every word...) it cuts me through.  
(Every lie...) becomes my truth.  
I can’t escape this weight on my chest,  
But I’ll fight until there’s nothing left.  

[Pre-Chorus] 
I won’t let go, I won’t look back,  
The tether’s thin, but it’s holding fast!  

[Chorus]
All my life, I’ve been crawling inside,  
Fighting this edge that I just can’t hide.  
If I lose my grip, will it matter at all?  
Or will I watch it all just fall?  


[Bridge]
(Lost control... feel the sting...)  
(What’s left of me... breaking in...)  
Rise again, but it’s not the same,  
Fighting through, still calling your name.  

[Guitar Solo] 

[Final Chorus] 
All my life, I’ve been crawling inside,  
Fighting this edge that I just can’t hide.  
If I lose my grip, will it matter at all?  
Or will I watch it all just fall?  

[Outro]
(All my life...) Nothing at all.  
(All my life...) Let it fall.

All My Life (Nothing at All)

The Deck of 52 (Kahuna's Mix)

Drop the Madness

This is the Pull Up / Theme Song for the Street Phantomz Car Crew

Lyrics:

[Intro]
We were there—where the sky don’t change  
In the hum, in the zone, no name  
(uhhh... yeah)  
What you see ain’t the shape we claim  

[Verse 1]
We're locked in chrome—this street, our shell  
Pulse through steel like a breathless spell  
Signals blink in a looped cartel  
Names get lost—then ring the bell  

Brake line snapped on a dream too quick  
Burn marks trace where the gears won't stick  
ID cracked like a bootleg chip  
But we ride—too deep, too slick  

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't catch what's already gone  
Ghost in the throttle, face withdrawn  
(uhh-uhh)  
It’s not a phase, it’s a drawn-out run  
When the light don't show—but we carry on 

[Chorus]  
Street phan__toms  
Ride where the lost codes fall  
Bassline burn through the system wall  
(can’t feel... can’t call...)  
Street phan__toms  
Drum hits like a warhead stall  
Night bleeds fast, and we drift through all  
(we don’t _wait_, we don’t _fall_)

[Verse 2]  
Boot-up breath with a forged ID  
Tracked through fog where the dark eyes see  
Rim spin cold in the phantom spree  
No script left—just velocity  

Shortcut turns into layered lies  
We stitch new paths in the DnB skies  
Wheels scream out when the system tries  
But the frame holds firm where the silence dies  

[Pre-Chorus]  
We're not saved—we’re rerun codes  
Looped and warped through the streets we rode  
It’s not light—but a neon load  
That burns too hard when the grip lets go

[Bridge]  
Signal drop... and the path goes wide  
Names erased in the override  
Not alive—but we never died  
Just glitch, just grind—just drive  

[Bass Drop]  
(down—down—down)  
Beat dives through the chest—can't breathe  
Metal flex under neon bleed  
(full send... no retreat...)  
Bass rips holes in the static seed  
And the ghost roll deep at breakneck speed  

[Final Chorus]  
Street phan__toms  
Pulse sync'd with the death of calm  
Friction cuts as the real gets bombed  
(can’t go back... too far gone...)  
Street phan__toms  
Ride till the core goes numb  
Past don't reach where the phantoms run  
(we stay fast... we stay wrong...)

[Outro]
We don’t stop... we don’t _fade_...  
(just glitch... just grind... just drive...)  
Tires still hum, though the street's gone black  
Our names deleted—but we won’t come back  
Only left—  
this pulse, this track  
(cut low... cut deep... stay fast... no map...)

Street Phantomz

This is the First Part of the Beneath Cosmic Skies EP.


Lyrics

[Intro]
(ohhh, yeah) (mmm-hmm)  

[Verse 1]  
Underneath a neon sky.. where the basslines never die  
Aliens drift in endless space.. searching for a secret place  
Through the void, their ship ignites  
Tracing trails of endless lights  
On a distant techno world -- their harvest plan unfurled  

[Pre-Chorus]  
They come alive in the pulse of the beat  
Metallic rhythms under alien feet  
Circuits hum... and the planets sing  
A cosmic harvest in a digital ring  

[Chorus]  
Take the sound, take the core  
From the depths to the surface floor  
They’re harvesting vibes -- energy streams  
Echoes of life, mechanical dreams  
Under the stars, they’ll never rest  
Mining the heart of a world possessed  

[Verse 2]  
Electric fields and fractal skies  
Synthetic moons with glowing eyes  
They dig deep with laser beams  
Extracting fuel from shattered dreams  
No mercy for the world they drain  
Just the rhythm of their endless gain  
A cosmic empire.. vast and cold  
Stealing beats from planets old  

[Pre-Chorus]  
The frequency bends.. the air starts to break  
Every pulse a vibration they take  
Their mission’s clear, their tempo’s set  
Leaving silence where the groove once met  

[Chorus]  
Take the sound, take the core  
From the depths to the surface floor  
They’re harvesting vibes -- energy streams  
Echoes of life, mechanical dreams  
Under the stars, they’ll never rest  
Mining the heart of a world possessed  

[Bridge]  
Spirals of light -- the final refrain  
Distant echoes of a planet's pain  
The rhythm fades.. the silence grows  
A barren techno world -- and no one knows  

[Outro]  
Through the cosmos... they disappear  
Chasing signals we’ll never hear  
A galaxy fades to a hollow beat  
Where aliens harvest and planets retreat  

Alien Harvest

This is the Second Part in the Beneath Cosmic Skies EP.



Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gears of starlight turning slow,
In the shadows, the circuits glow.
Built to harvest, built to claim,
A cosmic force, it bears no name.
Through the void, it comes alive,
A rhythm pulsing, it won’t subside.

[Pre-Chorus]
Crank the gears, ignite the core,
This cosmic beast will take it all.
Feel the hum, the rising tone,
The galaxy shakes as it claims its throne.

[Chorus]
Build it higher, light the spark,
The extractor rises in the dark.
Feed the system, steal the stars,
Power flows from worlds afar.
Let the rhythm break the chains,
The Cosmic Extractor reigns.


[Heavy Bass Drop - Spoken Word]
[Chanted]  
"Extract! React! Expand!", "Extract! React! Expand!", "Extract! React! Expand!"  

[Verse 2]
Neutron fire, plasma streams,  
It shatters planets, devours dreams.  
Every pulse, a world erased,  
A tidal wave of empty space.  
Its beat consumes, its hunger grows,  
No end in sight, no one knows.  

[Pre-Chorus]
Engines roar, the tempo climbs,  
It feeds on galaxies in time.  
Feel the chaos, watch it spread,  
Cosmic echoes of the dead.  


[Chorus]
Build it higher, light the spark,  
The extractor rises in the dark.  
Feed the system, steal the stars,  
Power flows from worlds afar.  
Let the rhythm break the chains,  
The Cosmic Extractor reigns.  

[Bridge] 
Signals lost in the endless night,  
Echoes of worlds pulled from light.  
No redemption, no escape,  
The extractor carves its fate.  


[Bass Drop] 

[Breakdown]
"Extract! Expand! Dominate!", "Extract! Expand! Dominate!", "Extract! Expand! Dominate!"  

[Outro]
From the dark, it fades away,  
But its beat will return someday.  
The Cosmic Extractor never dies,  
It waits beneath the endless skies.  

The Cosmic Extractor

This is the final part in the Beneath Cosmic Skies EP.



Lyrics 

[Verse 1]
Locked in orbit, the planets align,
Gravitational chains in a perfect line.
Engines hum, the process starts,
Harvest the fire from planetary hearts.
Crimson skies as the surface breaks,
Molten cores, the energy takes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Crank the turbines, let it spin,
The power surges from deep within.
A cosmic dance of death and flame,
No star system will be the same.

[Chorus]
Power it up! Watch it ignite,
Fuel from planets burns so bright.
Feel the charge, let the cosmos shake,
One more world is all it takes.
Light the void, tear through space,
The Star Spire Reactor feeds at a deadly pace.

[Bridge]
Fuel The Spire, Crank the Power Higher, Send That Power to The Voltage Towers, Now the Spire Starts to Feast

[Verse 2]
From shattered crusts to molten seas,
Every fragment feeds the need.
Planets fall, their essence drained,
The cost of power is never contained.
Circuit flows, the grid alive,
A galactic pulse that won’t subside.

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the gravity, feel the fire,
The spire climbs, building higher.
This is the path of ultimate might,
Worlds erased in endless night.

[Bridge]
Hear the silence, see the loss,
Power’s gain at a universe's cost.
But the hunger grows, it won’t relent,
Every star, every world spent.

[Breakdown]
 "More power! More fire! Feed the spire!"

[Heavy Bass Drop: distorted 808s, phonk cowbells, hi-hat rolls}

[Outro]
Through the darkness, it still will glow,
A Star Spire fueled by all we know.
Planets Crumble and fall, stars grow dim,
But the Spires hunger still burns within.

Star Spire Reactor

This is a song that describes my battle with depression and finally breaking free from its demons.


Lyrics

[Intro]
(ohhhhhh... yeah... yeah...)

[Verse 1]
There’s a voice in the static, calling my name  
A ghost in the mirror, feeding my shame  
Every step I take, I feel the weight  
Of a past I can’t outrun.. of a choice I can’t erase  

[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me to fight it-- but I let it in  
The shadow grows deeper beneath my skin  

[Chorus]  
The shadows within.. they’re clawing for control  
They’re whispering lies, taking pieces of my soul  
But I won’t let them win-- I won’t fade away  
These shadows within will see the light of day  

[Bridge]  
There’s fire in my veins.. I’ll burn the dark alive  
Every scar, a lesson__ a reason to survive  
I’ve danced with the demons-- but I’ve learned to lead  
They’ll never own me; I’ll be the one they need  

[Verse 2]  
I’ve built my cage.. with every regret  
A prison of fear I’ll never forget  
But the cracks are showing.. light’s breaking through  
A war in my heart.. but I’m stronger than I knew  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I see their reflection-- they wear my face  
But this is my battle__ my fight to embrace  

[Chorus]  
The shadows within.. they’re clawing for control  
They’re whispering lies, taking pieces of my soul  
But I won’t let them win-- I won’t fade away  
These shadows within will see the light of day  

[Breakdown]  
 I see you lurking.. waiting in the dark  
 You won’t take my mind-- you won’t claim my heart  
 The walls are shaking.., But I’m standing tall  
 You’ll never break me—I’ll watch you fall  

[Chorus]  
The shadows within.. they’re clawing for control  
They’re whispering lies, taking pieces of my soul  
But I won’t let them win-- I won’t fade away  
These shadows within will see the light of day  

[Outro]  
The monsters are quiet.. the shadows retreat  
I’ve broken their chains__ I’m back on my feet  
The battle’s not over.. but I know I’ll begin  
To rise from the ashes.. and silence the shadows within

Shadows Within

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Through the jungle haze at the break of dawn,  
M42's heart keeps pounding on.  
Twin Bofors bark, and the air ignites,  
Defenders of the field in the endless fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke rises high, but we hold the line,  
In the shadow of chaos, our purpose shines.  
The jungle whispers, the enemy’s near,  
But this crew’s got no time for fear.

[Chorus]
Thunder in the trees, lightning in the sky,  
Gun barrels blaze as the rounds fly by.  
Enemy Choppers Over Head,  
We stand our ground with fire in our hands.  
Duster’s roar cuts through the fight,  
Steel and courage in the dead of night.

[Verse 2]
Came the rumble of rotors, a deadly swarm,  
Enemy shadows take shape in the storm.  
The gunners call out, "Targets inbound!"  
And the jungle trembles to a brutal sound.

[Bridge]
Smoke and fire, the night's a shroud,  
The jungle screams, the fight’s unbowed.  
Brothers beside me, locked in the fray,  
We fire through the night till we see the day.

[Chorus]
Thunder in the trees, lightning in the sky,  
Gun barrels blaze as the rounds fly by.  
Enemy Choppers Over Head,  
We stand our ground with fire in our hands.  
Duster’s roar cuts through the fight,  
Steel and courage in the dead of night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Tracer trails light the darkened air,  
Each burst a prayer, each shot a dare.  
No turning back, no standing down,  
This is our fight, and we'll hold this ground.

[Final Chorus]
Thunder in the trees, lightning in the sky,  
Gun barrels blaze as the rounds fly by.  
Enemy Choppers Over Head,  
We stand our ground with fire in our hands.  
Duster’s roar cuts through the fight,  
Steel and courage in the dead of night.

Thunder in the Trees

Brought Me Back In Smoke

Hello I'm Harvest, great to meet you. Here is a little info about me, I'm a chill guy from New England who started making music last fall as a way to cope with my mental health. I have finally reached a point where I wanted to share my work with the world.

I'm not in it for the fame, for me if someone can hear my music and it can help them with their own mental health struggles, then maybe they can learn to heal.
