memories and motions out the corner of my eye
claw, gasp and grasp at the fading blue sky
the women and children, playing out poems so sad
dancing in motions for remembrance of dad
and i dont know where im going, im simply flailing
in the little box of toys that god gave her own meanings
now stop, look around, note your hands are still bleeding
let the earth spin around the stars slow beating 

why should i care about the standards of men
when the patience ive valued is wearing so thin
im so close to ripping the skin from my bones and my soul
and let the light within me dance on my testosterone
i swear by my heart i promise i wouldnt lie
through all the smoke and snow  i reside
but deep down a woman whose burning inside
she aint got a chance, she'll die all alone
while ill grow bitter, sad and alone, I'll fade away quickly, ill hide from the phone
and whatever kids i got left, dependence on fads
they can cut and forget their pathetic granddad
cause old grandpa is dead just a husk in the head
a ghost to be lost through in the mass of the dead
and if they cry and try to lower me under
my spirit will fly to the sea and sunder 

but what of the moments when happiness is dim
the closest to home that ive ever been
and what of the times that you put on a dress
and gleefully so you turned to a mess
would you let those moments flicker through the night or clutch them so hard you think you might cry
or would you let yourself die, let them take you away
ill still close this old coffin at the end of the day
let the ashes and roses bury me away
then ill send my good byes and let you move forth
while i fly toward the sun and hope for rebirth
so sudden the jolt my heart began hurt
the mistakes i made came to haunt my sweet bay
i screamed out so hard but the pain still remained
then suddenly i found myself shot out in space
the force so strong wiped tears from my face
landed in space and merged with a sea
i look for out for you
but there was only me

i hope i emerge from the sea as a mare
but dreams are just dreams cause life isnt fair
because i know theres no heaven for a gal like me
so i hope i burn up between the sky and the sea
ill fly around space and break up some rules
meet up with gods and play them as fools as i slowly drift down back into my head
wipe the blood off my hands and exit my stead
and leave this old box with little to no meaning and live life anew cause time is still fleeting
i may not be the girl i want to be
but at the end of time ill always be me

Chiptunes = WIN is a blog (https://chiptuneswin.com/) that covers most of what falls under the "video game music" umbrella.  They release compilations of chiptune music selected out of submissions sent to them.  Then, for each main comp, they get a different record label or collective to release submissions that didn't make the original + some new songs from the collaborating label's musicians.  Since DESKPOP's roots are in chiptune, we were more than happy to participate!  This compilation is an excellent showcase of what VGM has been, and where it could go.  We have a free download on Bandcamp, with streaming on Spotify/etc soon.  Enjoy!
