DISCLAIMER FIRST: i had nothing to do with making the instrumental, i only added and mixed my vocals ontop of it, i will tag his youtube channel for you to see his other work  "Produced by Connor Riley & Jake Adkins": https://www.youtube.com/@ConnorRileyMusic

managed to add some vocals to this awesome track, my software crashed the first time trying to record this and i was about to finish but i forgot to save and lost it all..... so i cried and contemplate my choises whether to continue my journey as a musician or not.

perserverance can go along way if youre nice to yourself and give yourself time to do things right. 

I'd love to know what are some things i could improve on either mixing my vocals differently, verse choices, lyrics, ect. anyways, idk if anyone is reading this but if you are, thank you and i hope you enjoyed it somewhat hahaha.

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.
