Crystal Kingdom Song (from The Adventure Zone)

LYRICS:

JON
Tim, you haven’t seen that box of blank tapes anywhere, have you? Oh, Sasha, could you look into any mention of this book in the records? Martin, for the last time, no hot beverages around the technology!

It isn’t easy
Making sense of all this mess
But I shall simply have to try my best
For now

I’ve tried to digitise
These old, archaic archives
But I’ve been trying
For a lifetime
It seems

TIM
Jon?

JON
Yes, what is it?

TIM
Were you planning on labelling any of the tapes you record?

JON
Just play the first few seconds, it’ll be evident which statements they are by the introductions.

TIM
Right, it’s just that you’ve then got to rewind them with a pencil and it’s all a bit time consuming—

JON
Not now!

TIM
Alright, boss.

It makes my skin crawl
The way he speaks to us all
He may be stressed
But it’s depressing
That’s not what I need

JON
Sasha, did you find anything?

SASHA
I’m afraid not.

JON
Yes, I thought as much. Another baseless story.

SASHA
I did meet this very strange man, though. He had hands like claws—

JON
Not now, Sasha.

SASHA
And there was this man just covered in worms—

JON
Not now!

SASHA
But — wait — Jon!

Lately I’ve not been myself
I’ve felt like I’ve been someone else
This job is so degrading
I have a degree

JON
Martin.

MARTIN
What is it now? What have I done wrong now?

JON
I… Just wanted to ask if you were making tea.

MARTIN
Oh.

I just wish that I
Could make them all see eye to eye
I’m tired, sick of all the tension in the air

Jon, Sasha, Tim and I
Are doing mostly fine
But still I sometimes fear
That something else is living here

/ OVERLAPPING VOICES:

SASHA
Lately I’ve not been myself
I’ve felt like I’ve been someone else
This job is so degrading

MARTIN
I just wish that I
Could make them all see eye to eye
But it’s proving very difficult so far

TIM
The way he speaks to us all
He may be stressed but it’s depressing

JON
I’ve been trying for a lifetime it seems

TIM
That’s not what I need

SASHA
I have a degree!

/

TIM
Pub tonight?

SASHA
Yeah, go on. Martin?

MARTIN
I’m there.

ELIAS
Hello, Jon. How’s work? I’ve been keeping an eye on you. I just want to ensure you’re settling in to your new position. With any luck, you’ll soon come to see yourself as the essential part of the archives that you are. Sincerely, your boss, Elias Bouchard.

P.S take some time to absorb everything. It can be quite overwhelming, but I’m sure, with time, and a little supervision, you’ll find that you're truly in your element here.

/ OVERLAPPING VOICES:

SASHA
Trying to survive
In the Archive x3

MARTIN
How the hell can I
Make them all see eye to eye

JON
I am so damn tired!

TIM
Fuck the Archive!

MARTIN
He’s stubborn, he’s a joker
And she’s too good to be here

JON/MARTIN
I’m so damn tired/You look so tired

JON
Why did it have to be me?

TIM
Or me!

SASHA
Or me!

MARTIN
Why me?

Eye To Eye - The Magnus Archives: The Musical

i woke up from a dead sleep and less than three days later i had this reverse murder ballad on my hand! album art credited to parker @/cuttlefishkitch on tumblr!

posted on tumblr here: https://gerrydelano.tumblr.com/post/616237643010834432/

LYRICS:

honesty
that's what she gave to me
into the water i bleed
into the sea

truthfully
even when she lied through her teeth
it only meant she trusted me
to lay at her feet

oh, heave-ho
it's over the edge i sink
in pieces in ribbons in tatters i'm thrown
into the dark of the drink

oh, heave-ho
it's over the edge i go
blow the man down, he's a jewel for your crown (blow me down)
and no one will ever know

war, you see
is somewhere you go just to bleed
the end of a book you can’t read (books you cannot read)
a legacy’s greed

distantly,
familiar hope came to me
that even with blood in our teeth
my son stayed asleep

oh, heave-ho
the ship is my body, i gave
to my wife as the captain, the whip, and the brine,
the shark lurking under the waves

oh, heave-ho
the ship is my body, she cracks
the mast of my spine, spills my blood as her wine (lightning strikes and)
cuts a flag from the skin off my back (takes all the skin off my back)

way, ay, i wanted to say
though blinded i still saw the light
at the end of the hall, in a crib with his eyes
almost grayer than mine in the night

i gave up the sight of his face for his life
and i would have lost more for the same
i'd cut out my heart to save his from her bite
and i almost don't know who to blame

is it a murder if i made my bed
by her side when i knew what she was?
perhaps i'm complicit; i fell asleep first
in the bloodcutting comfort of jaws

forgive me, forgive me, i did try to swim
with my hands and feet bound to my heart
weighted and anchored with love for my son
who by birthright deserves more than scars

my eulogy
the carpet red under my feet
like standing on top of the sea (standing on the sea)
the frenzy beneath

infamy
how do you remember me?
that fool just so desperate to leave
that he couldn't see?

oh, heave-ho
a dead man has only one tale
i knew she had hunger for blood in the water
and that means it was no betrayal

oh, heave-ho
though, i have one request of you now
if my son can be found and his own hands unbound (find my son)
cut the rope - don't you dare let him drown 
(don’t you dare be the reason he drowns)

bloodwater ballad

Blood Song (A fansong for The Hunt)

spoilers for MAG101! a song for Michael Shelley. me entertaining the idea of a more self-aware michaeldistortion or a thought process of  michael shelley turnin' into michaeldistortion....idk. a compilation of Michael Shelley thoughts.

inspired by The Magnus Archives by Rusty Quill!

LYRICS
I started working for her when I was still young
Thought that place could answer things I didn’t know how to ask
I’d chased answers for years something to quiet my mind
And I knew she had the knowledge I sought to find

I had a flaw you lack and that flaw was trust
I wish I'd kicked it out in time and ground it to dust
Things are more than they appear, doors and people too
The veil between faith and folly is easy to fall through 

Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak

I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?





She was forgetful yet had so much behind her eyes 
Knowledge barely contained within her frail frame
I couldn’t tell what it was, but there was a density there
Indiscernible things always crowding her air

I had the feeling if she told me I could not begin to understand
There were times I’d feel ignorant and useless
Feeling she was seeing the world with an added dimension
All I could do was give her all my trust and attention

Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak

I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?

We traveled north for a little business trip
To a place with a name that was fake
We shared a glimpse of hallucination or evidence
She gave me a map that made no sense

She said I could stop a great evil
It was the something I’ve become one with
With the map in hand, I stepped into the maze 
Of ever-changing colors and no nights or days

Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak

I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?


I met the monster and I made it my own
Made these hallways I wandered my new home
Am I too sharp to look at, am I something unknown?
Would you still call your hand a hand if it had so much bone?

Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak

I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?

Through My Door (A Magnus Archives Fansong)

spoilers up to MAG101! (content warning be more chill)
parody of "Michael in the Bathroom" from Be More Chill but with mr. Michael............lyrics and vocals by bastardhour on tumblr

LYRICS:
MICHAEL:
I am lost somewhere in Sannikov Land in an endless hall 
I could stay right here or disappear
And nobody'd even know at all
I'm on my own in these hallways 'cause Gertrude kinda left me alone
And though I’ve got a map it’s confusing and strange
Beyond each door is something unknown
 
Everything felt fine
When I was at the Institute
Now I’m losing my mind
my thoughts are all convoluted
Now I'm just
Michael in the hallways
Michael in the hallways of the spiral
Forget how long its been
I'm just Michael in the hallways
Michael in the hallways of the spiral
Why did I come in????
Going through each door built by the worker of clay
Hoping that i can somehow find my way
I'm just Michael with a map
Michael scared and trapped
Michael in the hallways by himself
All by himself

I am searching,
‘Cause it’s out there
The heart of this evil thing
Memories get erased
And my thoughts replaced
With mockeries of them hung by a string
And I hear someone laugh
Or maybe it’s just me and I don’t know it
HAHHAHAHAHHAHHA. (that's laughter)
And my feelings sink
Cause it makes me think
I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not real anymore

i just know I’m
Michael in the hallways
Michael in the hallways of the spiral
This is worse than anything I feared
Michael in the hallways
Michael in the hallways of the spiral
As I choke back the tears
I hope I’m getting close
To my destination
as my anxiety grows
i have the realization
That the Michael
Who I did know
That Michael will be gone, though
Now he’s Michael in the hallways by himself
Knock, knock, knock, knock
I think this is the right door
Knock, knock, knock, knock
thats what this map says for sure 
Stomp stomp stomp stomp
i walk in and see the heart
whomp whomp whomp whomp
I Gotta tear this thing apart
Clang, clang, clang, clang
I rip it out but something’s wrong
Bang, bang, bang, bang
It’s started twisting me along
crash, crash, crash, crash
i am torn apart yet glued
to something strange and I’m renewed
I go to open up the door
But I can't hear knocking
Anymore

And it feels so sharp
To be twisted and modified
And then I look in the mirrors
something distorted appears
And there's no denying
I'm just
... in the hallways
let me remember my name
Mmmmmmmmm now I’m
Michael in the hallways of the spiral
I’ll never be the same

So hello there!
why don’t you open this door
No, it’s definitely been here
And you have seen it before
I'm just Michael
Yes, no last name
I’m not sure what exactly came
Before the what I am now
nothing to understand now
Michael who you don’t see
Come in and then I won’t be
Michael in the hallways by himself
All by himself
All by himself
All you know about me
Is my name
Step on in,
You’ll be so glad you came
