13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

a hostage to work...
a hostage to friends...
a hostage to you...

Lyrics://
peace of mind
fall alone
only i can see
maybe i
don’t want you to know me

hey like what’s the matter
you’re the storm i never weathered
yeah you wronged me
i’m sorry don’t say that you want me

it’s no wonder i can’t let go
tied up tryna rope me in
i wish someone let me know that
i’d be alone again
i’ve been complacent in my own hostage situation
it’s no wonder i can’t let go
tied up tryna rope me in

peace of mind
fall alone
only i can see
maybe i
don’t want you to know me

hey like what’s the matter
you’re the storm i never weathered
yeah you wronged me
i’m sorry don’t say that you want me

lugging deadweight, 
dont wanna wrestle- burn the hole in my face
if its a caveat for crisis- i dont know when it ends
wrong way,
i've had enough but i'm still holding the gate
should i still give what it takes

nothin i can do for getting under your skin
settle down on loose ends, whatever
weeks under the weather got me
burned out for nothing
just say you want something 
do or don't need somebody

I need drugs N more clothes
Might see me on tour doe
On drugs move like a turtle
Pack touched down I turn up
Im a dropout
I hope I dont burnout
U didnt wanna help out
I miss my bro we fell out
3.5 I burn up
Rtd she heard of
U get money then I heard ya
Shit I seen unheard of
When I G2S bitch all I think abt is murder
I dont think dat I can show U wats under da surface

Fuck da govnmnt I cant do no damn service
I tried 2 tell U how I feel but I was nervous
N I could never b a fkn worker
U want me 2 change then dis cant work out
Bro was movin weight like its a workout
Dis bitch want a molly pill so she can rockout
Niggas thought dat we was locked but I was locked out
Bro hop in da V N then he hop out
I spot a cop on my block he get knocked out
I never wanted thots I have a lot now
They thought dat I was dum I learned a lot now
Im tryin 2 go up 2 drop da top down
Emo bitch I told her drop her top down
Pussy niggas still gon try 2 talk down
I kno wat I lost N now I lost out
If U try 2 cross then U get crossed out

They still pushin peace my nigga still cant put da guns up
Bitch if Ur a Slut then Ur invited 2 da Slut club
If U like blood then bby U jus might b 1 of us
Fuck a cracker I remember when they hunted us
I wont stop until my brudda get 100 dubs
If I drop a song my fans gon run it up
STAH bitch we b blunted up
They gon still talk down Idgaf
Bitch Im runnin round wit it fkn tucked
Bitch Im underground Im not fkn pop
Blow out da whole pound I cant fkn stop
If Im in yo town jus come fkn shop
I dropped a song N dat shit went dum
Bitch its demon blood in da double cup
Ik dat U lied dat shit fucked me up
If U fw us we step onna bug

Underground **HOSTED BY Dj Lumbert** no1getsit

track 4 - come visit again sometime:
short and sweet ending theme. i gave it those weird digital artefacts cus it reminds me of low quality mp3 files of songs on my computer. they're poor imitations of what the actual audio should be but the digital artefacts adds a sense of familiarity and charm to them somehow. And that's what i imagine this game world and the girl to be for the player character by the end. The girl is a simulated version of an actual person they knew, and this whole world is a strange imitation of the real world, tying into the "inside my world" theme

4 out of 4

This is the final time that you will ever think of me. I looked inside the mirror and I saw somebody else staring back

lyrics:

Yea
But i already know that
You said im all over the place
So I’ll take a step back
And i watched u try on all ur clothes
No i could never be like you

Go..
So u left me in the end
I knew all of it was fate
Don’t take it out on your friends
When ur the one to blame
No i just couldn’t stop crying
Now im stuck here in the rain
When all of it is said and done
I cannot be the same

I look at myself in the mirror
Saw the person that i became
I cannot see the picture
When i have already ended up dead
“It’s all because it’s personal”
Maybe we could’ve been friends
But thats all gone now im the one that ends up with the blame

And when u leave me again
Don’t pin the blame on the head
And when u tease me like that
Can’t help but hate u my friend

And i wonder if u will accept me for who i really am
Don’t act like u don’t know who i am

Didn’t wanna cross u that night
No I can’t leave without a fight
Didn’t wanna cross u that night
No I can’t leave without a fight
Didn’t wanna cross u that night
Didn’t wanna cross u that night
Didn’t wanna cross u that night
Didn’t wanna cross u that night

CHIMERICAL WEAPON (CLIP)

I found myself the only girl in town
The only one who's willing to take you in
There's ash in the air, raining money everywhere
You take my keys and we go for a spin

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can make me feel okay"
Everytime I drink I have too much too fast
Tonight I booked a hotel room a hundred miles away from everything
Out of fear I might've sent him to the past

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can make me feel alive"
Everytime I drink I have too much too fast
Last night I had a dream he left me half asleep and drunk behind the wheel
On the way back home, I miss a turn and crash

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

The wings that let me fly don't seem to work
The things that bring me joy drive me to tears
The things that made my world can't be reversed
The day I'm out of work and out of peers

Tonight I almost told another lie
'Cause all I wanna do is get fucked up
Waiting for the angels to come down
They take my hand and drag me to the club

I tell my boyfriend "Nothing in the world can bring me back to life"
I'd do anything to feel it for the first time
And I feel like the angels pulled a joke on me
They laugh and turn their backs
They leave the club and set the place on fire
I couldn't make it out there fast enough
The girls, they tell me I'm all out of love

come visit again sometime

neverending weekend
