LYRICS:
 I can't believe it's come to this 
I'm wasting my life away 
spending every day just to exist with a minimum amount of pain 

get home and stare at the ceiling 
maybe if I close my eyes, this time 
my soul will rise above the rooftops 
and I'll slip away 

'cause I'm so tired of feeling like I'm doing something wrong 
27 years and I'm bled down to the bone 
and after all this time I still have nothing to call my own 

'cause back when you were sixteen 
with the world stretched out at your feet
you had all these ideas 
and all the plans for where you would go 

I'm sorry I failed you
I swear I didn't mean to 
it's just time goes by so fast
and these paths are harder than you'd expect 

so next time around
I hope that you get the chance 
to live before you're dead. 

I can't believe it's come to this 
I'm wasting my life away 
spending every day just to exist with a minimum amount of pain 

and I can't go on feeling this way 
so I stare at the ceiling and dream of escape 
maybe when I open my eyes 
I'll find a place without any pain.

LYRICS:

You said you think this town is dying
and I think you're probably right. 
That's one thing we have in common, this place and I. 

And we can still sit by the TV, 
holding hands with the smoke obscuring the screen 
but we could never get back everything we lost 

I feel like everything is falling apart 
and I can't tell if it's entropy or karma 
but I know you deserve to get away from this 
I know you deserve to get away from this 
I know I'm someone that you probably don't miss 

but it was so fucking worth it to see you smile at me 
life's been breaking me down but that's one memory I wanna keep 
so I wish you could stay awhile

'cuz things have been getting darker as of late 
and the shadows grow longer with every day 
and I think I just need someone to tell me it's gonna be okay 

Because it's harder than I thought watching everything I love decay 
and I know the pain you always feel 
every time you're here in the state 
and I know this city's full of ghosts for you, it's better of this way 
we're better off estranged

this city's full of ghosts but I can't help but feeling
the crushing weight, the realization reeling 
that I might share the same fate 

and I don't wanna die alone 
but the closer I get to you 
the colder it will be when this is through

Midwest Entropy w/ Lilac Heart (p. Splashgvng)

LYRICS

They said I'd figure it out when I graduated high school 
nearly ten years, I still don't know what the fuck to do 
writing songs alone in my room is the only thing I ever learned how to do 

I wasted all my time,
on fairy tales and lies 
so should I draw the line right here
before it's too late? 

I used to pretend my life was a movie 
with credits rolling as chapters closed 
in the back of my parents' car 
with the lake disappearing slowly 
I promised myself I'd remember this feeling 

Now it's 2021 and I'm still here on lockdown,
but life is the virus that caged me, I can't get out 
I can't remember the wind through the wind through the trees 
and the sun at my back, when my mind could just be at peace 

cuz that's all I really need, just some relief from being me

a quiet desperation

Sleep so much but I'm still fucking exhausted
bags around my eyes and they're steady getting darker
catch me in the mirror, I don't recognize myself 
is that what I look like to everybody else? 

If I can just make it through this week 
I think that I can make it out alive
just gotta stay on my grind (x infinity✨)

and maybe this is all I can ever be 
maybe this is just who I am now 
and maybe there's no point in anything 
if everyday I just wanna be asleep

No, it's not too late, 
I will be okay 
because our days our short, 
but I know love is patient 

No, it's not too late, 
I will be okay 
somewhere along this path 
it will be worth the pain someday.

Lyrics:
I think back to the years I loved her
the windy city in mid november 
you'd think another lifetime would be farther away 

I'm forgetting what it felt like
to be the person there by your side 
maybe someday there'll be nothing that remains 

but I can't turn it off 
I wanna feel that again 
but I can't fall in love 
with someone I can't trust 

and I don't want to admit it 
but I resent you just a little bit 
still, I'd be blushing if you stabbed me in the heart

Lyrics: 
and I just keep thinking that I'll never be enough for me,
light up another joint and maybe it'll set me free
for the moment, just for the moment
so I can forget all the things I wasn't brave enough to be 

Staying up all night, staring at computer screens 
sleeping through the daylight when there's a world to see 
outside my window it all goes by, 
and I can't help but feel like I'm half alive 
half alive

because my life feels like it's just about as empty as the bottles on my desk: 
a chaotic mess
I worry sometimes that I might need help
but I wont reach out, we both know I'm too proud for that 
the world's a sea of worries, I don't wanna add on top of it 

got all this ambition, 
but no drive to see it through
I feel so unreliable, and I keep proving that it's true 

and I never seem to finish anything I start,
so I guess I'll hit up Ian to finish this next part: 

(Melmige)
I’m a hypocrite to criticize myself or anyone else of a common wealth
with uncommon health
cause I needed help

and it was provided 
hide from responsibility 
hard times lead to lack of energy
from a captive seat it came clear to me
that accountability will set you free

didn’t wanna see
didn’t wanna talk anymore
cause stress led to pressure were the thoughts that I shared
worth the time or the air
that would escape from my lungs every word that I wrote
to a word that I spoke

cause I thought I was right
put a pause on my life
boutta half it growing bad habits
from my mental and dental the food that I eat
to intrusive beliefs on the life that I lead

but you can’t control everything and you know
that you got limits, the stigma of hope
being you lack it emotion you show
leading to weakness and deepen your woes
highly reductive of progress you’ve shown

and I don't wanna lose that
every day fall back

decaying like an isotope with isopropyl in my system bitches switchin' up they rhythm pls consider my position 

opposition is intrinsic like a doctrine or religion
I’ve been sharing my provisions to the system
due to my belief that if keep it to myself on the day that I need help

I will not receive it selfish reasons 

And I need it
I need your eyes but only when I want em or else I’ll probably die
from attention that I sought but changed my mind on

every song I chose to write on
every bottle I relied on
to finally cry a bit the situation been the same a couple months now

found i only open up when lying to myself or on the phone now
so lets go on down to taco bell and get some food and finally talk bout
the shit that’s been on our mind but couldn’t say due to our surroundings,

a change of pace astounding
to see how you feel about this

Thank you for listening! 

Lyrics:

I fell into the deepest place 
no sunlight reaches here and 
no flowers bloom when everything is cold and grey 

But I will survive here 
wont let this be my fate 
I've been collecting stones for shelter 
and capturing the rain when it falls 

This place will try to kill me 
there are many that have tried 
but no matter what you throw at me, 
I still have my mind 

and you can't take that away from me 
you can't take that away from me now
you can't take that away from me 
you can't take that away from me now 

Heylee Manzeron:
Branches break every time that I step
They remind me of what I have left
But I gotta keep my chakra flowing
Rusting, cause the rain aint slowing

Gotta keep a finger on the pulse, yeah
4/4 heartbeat buzzing through my clothes
Fighting for another way to cope inside this life


Crawling out of the hole inside
These waterfalls they spring to rise
The Trajectory, what's left for me
If I knew the way this was going to be

Would I do this any different?
Cause I’m running out of fire
And the nights are getting colder
But I’ll claw my way out of this mire

'cuz I made a promise to myself long ago 
no matter how dark the night, I wont lose my soul 
I'll maintain control

"Take this, it's dangerous to go alone", she said 

"I know that we'll meet again someday. 
Life is cruel, and time marches onward relentlessly, 
but just know you've got your hand in mine 
for all time" 

I wanna be someone you can reach out to
I wanna be someone that makes it worth your time

[Decks]
Take it back, it's hard to 
find the words to lies too 
on and on, I push through 
nothing left to lose, you know 

I could be the ocean, 
standing vast and open 
life is merely nothing if you choose to let it be.

spread your wings and choose to fly, you see 
open up your eyes 

[Horosha]
I wanna be someone you can reach out to 
I wanna be someone that makes it worth it 
and I can't predict down which paths life will lead us 
but I hope you know that you always will be my friend 

I wanna be someone you can reach out to 
I wanna be someone that makes it worth your time

Lyrics: 

I think I finally found my peace 
among the flowers and growing things
I feel so much less alone

sunlight shining on my face
is better than a gilded cage 
I know that was never my home 

so I'll pack my things
and head out on a new adventure
leave that concrete tomb 
in the past where I should have left it 
so long ago 
for so long I felt like no one 
and now I'm taking back my life as my own 


I think I finally found my peace 
among the flowers and growing things
I feel so much less alone

sunlight shining on my face
is better than a gilded cage 
I know that was never my home 

and so I start to make my way 
off the path, to places no one goes
the skyline starts to fade 
and at last I feel like I'm not running from

everything they told me I should be 
everything I've been taught that I should want 
today I found out they're wrong

photo by James Fitzgerald

Lyrics: 

skies grow dark 
and leaves will change 
till they fall away, fall away 

bark, once green 
gathers cracks and rings 
till it starts to decay 
till nothing remains 

late at night I think about that far too often 
I find the ways to distract myself from it
solutions in a bottle could probably help me cope 
but anything's a vice if your life revolves around it

searching for a cure for knowing this all will be ending someday 
a million natural shocks will end and lead you 
to the grave and no one knows what comes next: 
static on a tv or just darkness?

the process of decay is a thief that comes in the silence 
progressing day by day against all attempts to defy it
decades fly by, you don't realize
one day you're at the end 
and there's nothing you can do about it 

but I don't want to die 
but I don't want to sleep 
I watch my family age 
I watch the lines in my face increase

and what dreams may come 
when we take that final leap? 
I never want to know 
but it's out there waiting for me.

Cracks and Rings

There's something that's deep inside my brain 
telling me to run away from everything

I walk into the room and I can feel 
every single eye that turns in my direction
I can't help but turn away 

cuz under every smile there lies the fear 
that I'm not good enough for anybody else 
and I'll always be the same; this way.

I woke as if from a dream

Now the veil is drawn back 
I see this place for what it is 
no one can tell me I'm crazy 

a crumbling civilization 
built on deception 
now I can only think of how to escape

Lyrics: 

now I know that everything I was taught when I was younger was all a lie 
so it's time to find out who I wanna be 
as I walk the woods and glades 
in search of answers I could never find before 
maybe I'll find myself somewhere along the way 

in the empty places, all the memories start to fade 
no past, no future, just the next step in front of me 

so tell me what's so wrong about losing yourself 
when everything you used to want is something you were sold
by someone else trying to make their dreams come true?
a product of a product of something that is not you

but what about everyone that got left behind? 
(I don't know what to do about it, so I run away from all of it)
in the gilded cage, with no chance to live their own lives 
(I don't know what to do about it, so I run away from all of it)

there is no backup for me 
I have to do this on my own 
uncharted territory, somewhere out there I can make a home 

I have to save myself before I can save anyone else.

no past, no future

Well, it's winter here again, 
but I don't feel the chill anymore 
when I think about those nights we had

when the factories shut down,
so we struck out on the town 
and wandered silent streets, my hand warm in your hand 

and we laughed like kids again 
hey, this place isn't so bad when you're dodging curfew
stealing bottles of storerooms 
they'll never know how the world was ours 
when the sun went down 

we didn't have a lot back then, 
but I had you, and me, and all our dreams 
everything that we hoped would come to be 
and a situation like this can only last so long
so we'll look for a way out, look for a way out 

Sometimes when I'm sitting by the campfire 
and I'm watching the snow fall
I wonder what it is you're up to now; 
if I should have even left at all

Did nostalgia make my vision rose colored, 
or was this a mistake?

Lyrics:

If heaven existed, I know it would appear to me  as a small fishing cabin in the north woods of Wisconsin.

At the table of a kitchen that doubled as a living room, I would watch the rose-gold rays of morning light eagerly cast their fanfare on the front porch, fractals dancing on the ceiling like benevolent shades

Before me and all my friends were fodder being ground up by the lurching wheels of industry, there was my mother milling about the kitchen. 

Before I knew of powerful men that loved money over their own people, there was the steam rising out of my father's coffee cup. 

Before the towers fell, 
before the wars, 
before the plagues ravaged the land, 
I frolicked in that place: 

collecting pinecones, and skipping stones, 
creating a world that's inside my imagination 

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴;
𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘦;
𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘵; 
𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵.

All these thoughts swirl around in my head, 
as I press on further and further into the wild, 
and now further into my own mind.
Were those memories ever really my own? 
Of a life before the city, when existence was peaceful and struggle so very far away?

Or are they just a fabrication to keep me passive, 
part of a machine which is only interested in my exploitation? 

I'm not sure what the answer is, but as I come to clearing to rest and observe the gentle breeze blowing through the grasses, I realize that it doesn't matter.

This moment, 
this beautiful progression of consciousness from second to second: 
that's enough. 
That's all I need.

The Woodcutter's Soliloquy

Lyrics:

So I'll start simple and slow all over again
Life's never finished till you get to the end
it slips by too fast to ever keep regrets, 
so bury your pain and move on from the past

Here lies the person that I was 
everything you knew about me, leave it in the dust
'cuz I've accepted the things that I used to hide, 
there's no shame
there's no guilt, 
there's a new fucking life

cuz I'm finding out new capacities for peace
(in the death of everything I thought I had to be) 
now that I'm finally at home with the soul inside of me 

So I'll start simple and slow all over again
Life's never finished till you get to the end
it slips by too fast to ever keep regrets, 
so bury your pain and move on from the past

so let the north star be the joy in your heart, 
you can reinvent yourself whenever you want 

 I look back on the times 
when I was lost in the pain;
wish I could tell them why it felt so wrong to be this way.

Now I'll be the person I needed back then
just keep moving forward,

a better life is just up ahead 

it's just up ahead; we still have so many paths to tread. 

So I'll start simple and slow all over again
Life's never finished till you get to the end
it slips by too fast to ever keep regrets, 
so bury your pain and move on from the past

so let the north star be the joy in your heart, 
you can reinvent yourself whenever you want <3

WHILE HE ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE 

AN ENTIRE GENERATION SAID "FUCK YOU, I'VE GOT MINE" 
CLIMBED THE LADDER UP, THEN KICKED IT DOWN 
TO WATCH ALL OF US WRITHE IN THE DIRT 
OVER SCRAPS THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND 
AND YOU STILL EXPECT US TO SERVE YOU WITH A SMILE c: 

IF I HAVE TO HEAR ONE MORE PERSON SAY 
THAT IT FEELS SO NICE WHEN THE FLAMES ARE LICKING AT YOUR FEET;
THE ATROPHY OF EVERYTHING; OUR SLIP INTO INSANITY;
WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE TO BLAME, 

 I'M GONNA GO POSTAL, 
DO A LITTLE DENY DEFEND DEPOSE ON THESE MOTHERFUCKERS 
I'D RATHER DO ANYTHING ELSE 
THAN SIT HERE WATCHING YOU SIEG HEIL 

ALL THE WHILE YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN

Made a gnome bard in my current D&D campaign called Ronybar who plays an ancient machine for his instrument, so I thought hey, why not have fun with it? 

These are the Songs of Ronybar, a playlist containing short mood tracks for what our favorite gnome's spells sound like. Enjoy!

"Sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk"

Sonder

"Liminality; noun anthropology; the state of transition between one stage and the next, especially between major stages in one’s life or during a rite of passage"

Lyrics: 

I had a dream that all our cities sank into the seas
the rising tides careening over busy streets and 
when it all fell silent, when the last skyscraper fell beneath the waves
I felt a strange sense of relief 

There's nothing to be afraid of 
the end's already here 
there's a sense of solace in destruction 
when our machines have rusted 
and all our bones are bleaching in the sun 
the world will be just fine without us 

Here underneath, 
where the seaweed makes its home between the seams 
of the skeleton of everything we used to be 
no politicians fight, no murder in the streets 
and everything but time has come to rest
forever and always asleep 

Every smile and every tear, 
all our accomplishments and failings
just a whisper on the wind while life flourishes in the shadows 
the monuments to human greed, 
long crumbled now will sow the seeds
for life to rise above the waves and find 

a world finally at peace

solace in destruction
