[Cover] Beneath The Mask (Instrumental)

Back in 2009, Linkin Park released some stems from their track Catalyst for fans to remix. My wife still had the stems, and I decided to redo my remix.

[Metal Remix] Catalyst

Valheim has some great music, but Vikings are pretty metal, and now the Menu Theme fits that image.

Lyrics:
You break the bottle out
I take the wheel
We hit the long dead freeway
With our chrome and steel
Turn on the radio
Can do no wrong
Too bad we're caught up driving
To see them pull along

As we go down a road less traveled
Break of dawn we take the sights
We're not waiting anymore
Take the pass head to the shore

You hear the sirens call
My eyes are red
We must have passed our exit
To the side she said
Takes more than words to tell us who or what to do
Never give up ill set us straight on through

As we go down a road less traveled
Break of dawn we take the sights
We're not waiting anymore
Take the pass head to the shore

Roll up, buckle in
Better get out the way

Side car, dive bar
I don't care where i lay

As we go down a road less traveled
Break of dawn we take the sights
No appointments they won't find us
Who's to say we'll stay away

We're not waiting anymore
We can't stay here anymore
No one's past us, our own masters
Take the exit to the shore

Happy Places

Carbon Tree

Sometimes you don't know what you have because it's RIGHT in front of you.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
=====
I’m supposin’, I’ll put a rose in your bouquet - - - - 
I can’t imagine, you’d want it any other way - - - -
Who’da thunk that I’d have stunk at
Bein’ best friends with my best   friend 

CHORUS
======
I’m thinkin’ hopin’, doin’ the arithmetic, 
I’m wishin, mopin, shufflin’ I’m feelin’ sick
And you’re right there as fragile as a crystal   ball…
What’s the Protocol?
What’s the Protocol? 
h’s} What’s the Protocol?  {backing aaah’s}

Verse 2
=====
I was shocked that I would ever get this far
Humiliated Uh-that you’d get into my car, Oh no! 
But at the concert You made a convert 
In front of the band, You took my hand-and-I-was-

CHORUS 
=====
Thinkin’ hopin’, doin’ the arithmetic, wishin, mopin, shufflin’ I’m feelin’ sick
And you’re right there as fragile as a crystal   ball….      
Thinkin’ hopin’, doin’ the arithmetic, wishin, mopin, shufflin’ I’m feelin’ sick
And you’re right there as fragile as a crystal   ball…. {Octave lift}      

BRIDGE 
=====
I never took the time to figure out
Why you and I can’t have a joint account
We shrug and start to dance
To celebrate this new romance, yeah…

CHORUS
=====
Thinkin’ hopin’, doin’ the arithmetic, wishin, mopin, shufflin’ I’m feelin’ sick
And you’re right there as fragile as a crystal   ball…
Thinkin’ hopin’, doin’ the arithmetic, if this is love, I don’t mind all this feelin’ sick
And you’re right there as Edward does his curtain call - - - - What’s the Protocol?

OUTRO  
=====
What’s the Protocol…etc…

LYRICS:

All that you've been through, beaten down
Nothing you can do, bedrock found

Wasted
Took all you had so you could feel
That you deserved your breath, this earth
Forced you to see what it was worth
And now you're redeemed

You were always meant to fail but now?
I choose to believe that
This is what you're meant to be, somehow
It all falls down
Your calls, drowned out
You've had enough
Pick yourself up

Finding your own truth
From this old town
Can't say I see the use
But it's yours now

Draining
Took all you had so you could feel
That you were worth your time down here
Forced you to see what you deserved
And now you've found peace

You were always meant to fail but now?
I choose to believe that
This is what you're meant to be, somehow
It all falls down

All we had erased
Falling into place
Everything is saved

Before you fall, questioning it all just think
(All we had erased)
You're worth it
When all goes wrong and you're at the brink
(Falling into place)
You'll make it

You were always meant to fail but now?
(I believe you'll)
I choose to believe that
(Overcome it)
This is what you're meant to be, somehow
(Standing tall)
It all falls down
(You're free)
Your calls drowned out
You've had enough
