This is the sequel to my tape "recalibrate"

The last tape followed the story of a cyborg that wakes up with no memories. The cyborg, named exe, wanders around for a bit until finding a small robot, named aadams, and they decide to stick together.

In this tape, exe and aadams encounter a new character who owns a rocketship. They decide to go off-planet with him, but when they take a detour, aadams gets damaged by hostile robots.

I really hope you like this, honestly if you listen to nothing else by me, listen to this, I put hella effort into it :> Also the last track is a banger

Listen to Sisyphus I here: https://soundcloud.com/headhaunter/sisyphus-i-prod-ibrahim

There was gonna be a Sisyphus III with samsa until he retired - but we still wanted to put I and II out. Each track tells a different story.

Hook written by: @iamsamsa, art by me!

Lyrics:

I've been warpin through the fourth dimension, with no more to explore left
Toured each wormhole and vortex on my quest to just thwart death
A thousand ways to die, be it cardiac or cancer,
I travel time in hopes that some forgotten god will have the answer

I've traversed the valley of death's shadow searchin for Baphomet
In caverns where Apollo slept, I'm trackin down Nyarlathotep
Read some chapters next to blasphemous statues from magic texts,
Only two things are certain and I ain't paid my taxes yet

I've planned to see a glimpse of Panacea to bewitch her,
Intoxicatin mixtures of Rolling Rock and youth elixir
Each time I might've died, I rewind the time five days
Tryna skirt my demise and escape my divine fate

Encased in ancient Cenozoic ice - twice - but I melted.
The helmet of Hades I sheltered myself in's just a relic
Stopped by Mephistopheles - got lost in his home
Called up Yamaraja's phone and made philosopher's stones

On a first name basis with Chernabog, I've turned the clock
And urged Pandora to burn the box but it didn't work so hot
Got an ankh in my pocket, an ouroboros tattoo
Hoarded horcruxes, and I've sipped primordial soup

Implored the Four Horsemen to not be the mortal I was prior 
Sought out Orpheus but unfortunately just found a lyre
Did business with shinigami, and still continue clueless
Though I've interviewed Methuselah, listened to Anubis,
And been to every festival of death collecting talismans.
I've bribed Azrael to forget me and questioned Lazarus 
Got sacrilegious amulets and bracelets next to
Chained up phoenixes I ensared and experiment on in my basement

And at this rate I fear I've tried to find a cure in vain
Every year I age will disappear in time like tears in rain
But I've been here and there and I'll endure until my quest's complete
And desperately resist destiny as long as there's breath in me

Sisyphus 
Steady rolling boulders up the summit 
Sunday sundown watch em settle, monday sunup, watch em plummet
Yes I’m sisyphus
Static balance pebbles on the brink
Sunday sundown watch em settle, monday sunup, watch em sink

Sisyphus II

enamored (w/ Limes)

the rocketship jumps to a higher speed and lands on sin's home planet. the protagonists are immediately greeted by the sight of falling petals.

spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7zvZTkXMDZYY1EMbxEVCSg?si=9RTVHgv6SjyBFvJAnV9Dsg

land of petals

sin grabs aadams and drags him onto the rocketship. he yells to exe for her to bring one of the defeated robots on board. once back in space, sin repairs aadams using parts of the defeated robot, and expresses his gratitude to exe for saving his life. both parties' suspicion of each other is alleviated. sin decides to take the group to his original destination - the planet where he grew up.

tinkering

exe defeats the mech patrol unit but aadams is caught in the fighting by an explosion courtesy of an enemy robot. most of his limbs are destroyed along with his face and side.

broken robot

when exe and company land on the neighboring planet, sin remarks that something seems off. upon disembarking the group notices broken windows in the nearby buildings and snow on the ground. sin says that as far as he knows, this planet never gets cold enough to snow. soon after, they are accosted by a group of robots bearing a similar "I" insignia to aadams. one of the robots says something very quickly in a language none of the protagonists can understand. before anyone can respond, the robots attack the protagonists. exe punches a robot and it proves effective, so she tells aadams and sin to head back to the rocket ship while she holds off the robots.

encounter with a mech patrol unit

exe, aadams, and sin board the rocketship and head to the next planet over. while on board, sin teaches exe about the layout of their solar system.

interplanetary detour

exe and aadams spot a rocketship and small figure in the distance. upon approaching it they discover a boy with a hammer appearing to be repairing the rocketship. he suspiciously introduces himself as sin. exe and aadams ask sin if he knows anything about the lab exe woke up from or where they are. sin replies that, to his knowledge, the planet is abandoned - save for some areas of wilderness. he tells them that his reason for even being on the planet at all was that he stopped there to find fuel and parts for his damaged rocketship. exe and aadams ask sin if they can accompany him off the planet. he says he can drop them off at the next planet over on the way to his actual destination.

the boy and the rocketship

exe the cyborg and aadams the robot decide to look around the urban wasteland they have found themselves in for clues on exe's past
