This is actually such a vibe, just makes me feel some type of way

Short and amazing. Atlas never fails to express everything i feel.

After a couple listens, I have some feedback: The vocals could use a little boost and a little more distortion but that's just my opinion

thank you for always helping me through this shit

ooaahh

Can You Sleep At Night
The William Altig Choir

🎵 Midnight Confession

When the lights go down and you're alone—what do you see?

The Buddha said the wicked lament here AND after. Why? Because when they look at their own deeds, they see the stain. That stain doesn't wash out. It follows them. 3 AM, wide awake, waiting for a dawn that doesn't bring peace.

But the righteous? They rejoice in both worlds. Not because they're rewarded—because when they look at their life, they see no stain. They close their eyes in peace. They sleep at night.

This isn't about heaven and hell. This is about the mirror you can't look away from.

Can you sleep at night?

🙏 Part of The Blues Dhammapada series—testimony set to music.

[Verse 1]
I've seen men with everything, the house, the car, the name
But they couldn't meet their own eyes in the mirror every day
Money in the bank but their soul account was overdrawn
Lying wide awake at 3 AM, waiting for the dawn

[Chorus]
Can you sleep at night
When the lights go down and you're alone
Can you sleep at night
With the seeds you've sown
'Cause the things you do follow you through
Every breath you take, they're watching too
Can you sleep at night
Tell me, can you sleep at night

[Verse 2]
I've seen folks with nothing but the shirt upon their back
Living in a way that don't leave nothing to regret
They look at how they've lived and there ain't no stain to see
Close their eyes in peace, that's how I want to be

[Chorus]
Can you sleep at night
When the lights go down and you're alone
Can you sleep at night
With the seeds you've sown
'Cause the things you do follow you through
Every breath you take, they're watching too
Can you sleep at night
Tell me, can you sleep at night

[Bridge]
Some folks lamenting here, gonna lament on the other side
Every dirty deed they did, can't run, can't hide
But the righteous ones rejoicing, both now and when they're gone
Looking at their life like a clear and honest song

[Verse 3]
Now I'm cleaning up my act, putting right what I did wrong
Trying to live a life that I can look back on
When I meet my maker or just close my eyes for sleep
I want nothing on my conscience, nothing buried deep

[Final Chorus]
I can sleep at night
When the lights go down and I'm alone
I can sleep at night
Reaping what I've sown
'Cause I'm living clean, nothing in between
Me and my reflection, if you know what I mean
I can sleep at night
Yeah, I can finally sleep at night

[Outro]
You know, this ain't about scaring nobody with hellfire.
It's just the truth.
You're gonna have to look at yourself.
Here. Now. At the end.
So the question isn't what you can get away with.
The question is, What can you live with?
What can you die with?
Can you sleep at night?


Can You Sleep At Night

well, here we are.

after a long journey spent coping with sub par mental health and the various females inhabiting my high school, i've finally accomplished the thing i set out to do so long ago:

i put out a real album.

i hope that you all enjoy listening to this as much as i enjoyed creating it, because this whole thing has been an experience for me.

thank you for getting me so incredibly close to 10,000 soundcloud followers and thank you even more for taking the time to listen to what i've created here.

the cover art was created by my good friend halli hunt, or h.h. as some of you may know her.

have a fantastic day, and hey;

the world might not always be beautiful, but the potential for beauty and peace exists so long as the potential for hatred and violence is present. you can't have sunshine without a little rain, and i can't have happiness without a little help from my friends. i love you all.

<3

this is the outro, i hope you like it (prod. ntourage)

olive jacket, magenta hair
pale skin with a piercing stare
you see through my eyes to my brain
swallowed whole by an empty void
wondered if i'd be destroyed
but somehow you saved me from it

speak in tongues through a speakerphone
never see what i need to know
i always just do at the end
question morals and need support
swapping spit in a pillow fort
i'm drunk on a sunday again

i'm fading out
but i'll open up
at least i would
but i'm frozen shut
god damn

white lies on the telephone
might cry if i make it home
but something tells me that i won't
water bottle of alcohol
on my teacher's desk in a middle school
we all must find our escapes

broken clasp on a cookie jar
empty cabinets, looking hard
for something to eat in this place
going hungry or maybe starving
myself because i hate who i am
oh, i do, oh yes, i do

i'm fading out
but i'll open up
at least i would
but i'm frozen shut
god damn

i'm fading out
but i'll open up
at least i would
but i'm frozen shut
god damn

frozen shut

@aimless-beats

hey, everyone is someone at least a little bit different online
don't be scared to be honest, okay?
love you

LYRICS:
we all got internet personas
internet personas we hide behind
we hide behind

we all got demons deep inside us
demons deep inside us we try to hide
we try to hide

i forgot who it is i truly am long ago
but i'll keep searching for it while i can

i knew a boy who could outline a shape in a second
that's display was eclectic in a way that was second to none
he had a hand than swam like fish in the seas
and a penstroke that'd bring any critic to his knees
it was beautiful, flowing like the blood inside my artieries
he painted hearts as targets and was practicing his archery
mastering the artistry he carried in his chest
until at best it was a godsend, and worst, it was a part of me
'til suddenly... things began to seem different
moods dissipated into blue and grey pigments
but surface-wise his screen names were never inefficient
as a method to communicate that happiness was with him
so a couple thousand people saw a perfectly inoccuous complexion
while i was tryna talk him through depression
the lesson to be learned is that your heros aren't invincible
just normal folks who often need expression, so pause and leave a message...

if you want; they'd probably appreciate it...

...internet personas
internet personas we hide behind
we hide behind

we all got demons deep inside us
demons deep inside that we try to hide
we try to hide

i forgot who it is i truly am long ago
but i'll keep searching for it while i can

i knew a person who could cultivate the words that they aligned
in a way that could coerce a train to fly
a perfect state of mind in which to learn creative rhymes
until their person was emburdened by the verses they designed
and they began to lose their touch...
the little quirks in all their writing became terse and uninviting
and ingesting any lettering they surgeoned into life
instead of being entertainment was inert and just absurd and all the work was fucking tiring
and suddenly... they were writing less and less
in spite of their success they saw no light and second guessed
the creativity they harbored in their heart
there's only so much fucking artwork you can make 'til you forget the way to start
so a couple million people saw some dipping in the frequency
of music while they fought idiosyncracy
that slept as mental illness... and woke as some peculiar train of thought
that masqueraded as a symptom of a hindering deliquency

i hope that all these words have made you think of me

internet personas, internet personas
we all got internet personas, internet personas (x7)

internet personas (prod. aimlessbeats)

internet personas (prod. aimless)

for h.h. once more

lyrics:
we all must chip our antlers now and then
life will throw us hate with no defense
but these, my dear
aren't times too tough to fix

so you can keep your chin up if you please
and smile while you frolic in the trees
'cause antlers, antlers, yes my dear
i promise that with time, you too shall see

and even if you fall
just know i've got your back

and even those designed for war
have battled, fallen, gotten back on track

so maybe you see spiders now and then
while i see figures float above my bed
see, even those arachnids know
that you're too fucking tough to circumvent

and you know what else has got eight legs?
i said, you know what else has got eight legs?
us in front of mirrors
looking boldly at two kids who never fled

and even if you fall
just know i've got your back

and even those designed for war
have battled, fallen, gotten back on track

i said, even those designed for war
have battled, fallen, gotten back on track

antlers, too

hey, thanks for 50k <3

additional rock stuff at the end by me :~)

lyrics:
thank you for every moment shared
for every hug and kiss when i was stepping over there
to visit you... some might not think it's fair
but all the time i got to spend as yours and all the care
was more than i could ever ask for
you treated me respectfully and that's more
than anyone else... but now i'm sat sore
caught up in my panic like a task force is breaking down my back door

and i hope to see you thrive, to see you thrive

'cause i'm lying in my bed
with my pillow held over my head
wishing that the weight of all this stress
could hold it down and stop my breath

we must go our seperate ways
i know that is the truth
i wish that i could travel back
to the moments spent with you

and freeze time and space in a silent place
to appreciate your smile for a little bit longer

i'll try to be stronger than i am

a wistful remembrance

stronger than i am (prod. mt marcy)

thanks a million

you were a savior to me
a break in my aching routine
you picked me up, put me back on feet
and now that you've left, i'm breaking

i'm glad that you're doing well
it's a sight for sore eyes, can't you tell?
nothing makes me feel my missions complete
like knowing you smile where you dwell

chameleon boy
chameleon boy
you're blending in
just like everyone else
in the wreckage
of all i destroyed

seasonal depression is kicking my ass, so here's some music
cover photo taken by corey "deko" gilbert

lyrics:
this anxiety inside of me is tiring my mind 
i can't cry or sleep or smile or eat or even try to find 
something physical or tangible to lay alone beside 
i am singing to the void again, i hum into the night 

everyday, everyday (x4) 

the way that i cope with things is unethical 
and all my clever words have been said before 
i'm just putting off the inevitable 
i am feeling more like a vegetable 

everyday, everyday (x4)

winter

download <3

everyday

thunder outside
in the sky, flashing lights
i can try, try to sleep
sleeping through everything

sorry if we had

plans, ruining
subtle hints make me think
that you hate spending time
here with me, so do i

but i'm stuck here for
good

thunderstorm

thunder

when it's raining in the morning 
and you smell the petrichor from your bed 
know that i'm with you, there in some way 
like a fly on the wall in your head 

when the bad thoughts and the nightmares 
keep us afraid of the things in our minds 
know that it's alright, life keeps moving 
just don't let it leave you behind 
when you're exhausted and you're lonely 
and the sadness begins to appear 
know that somewhere, there are people 
who love the idea that you're here 

and when the sky dims, turning pitch black 
and the clock reads 3 a.m. 
hit me by phone call or text, calm or panicky mess 
and we'll go out for milkshakes again

Lyrics:
I've been drawing momentary art on window fog/
I don't carve my thoughts or feelings into weeping willow bark/
I'd trade this endless noisy forest for a single log/
to split, and divvy up into a million walls to build upon/
the limo's parked in the pond, I guess I took a turn wrong/
and I forgot the keys, you can see the rocks that we're on/  
have all been covered in moss, and I got lost in the leaves/
but you're were all that I needed, I sing your song to the trees/
before they topple like dominoes/
dragged about wrapped in chains, talks of towns is inaudible/
when I board up this place with the remnants of the forest/ 
our old "welcome home" mat, becomes the entrance to the fortress, I'm formless/

I just hide behind my fail-safe fortress walls 
x3
the only way that I can get out the storm/

I've the seen the way the boats get swallowed up whole/
the way the cliffs give out and fail for those who want to oppose/
the way the winds pin the down the frail and weak willed so I won't let it happen/
weld the hatches shut and made a gateway on the easel/
but I can't escape the headaches or the knocks at the door/
that may or may not be happening, I won't fall on my sword/
I'll just gorge out of habit, eating to cram the thoughts down/
and memories of you, but by myself is with the wrong crowd/ 
the blueprints drawn out, I've got to reinforce the roof/
because the weekend storms are brutal in here, being short of you/
it's not healthy I know it, but I'll feel the same in the morning/
and it's so stupid to say it but I feel safe in the fortress/

The Fortress

constantly reminded of my past self's dumb mistakes
wishing i could go back in time

dreaming on repeat, climbing up the staircase
stepping into open air

nicotine for dinner, you ask if i've lost weight
the truth is that i didn't mean to

panic in the bathroom, 'cause the person in my mirror
is a foggy recollection of me

but i have to be okay
you say there's just too much at stake
and i'd throw it all away
if i said goodbye today

i have to be okay

i'm singing songs you've never heard
about a place you'll never go
i'll wear your fragrance like an accolade
and bleed out in the snow

i've got your fingerprints all over me
imprisoned like a ghost
inside some empty little nobody
who's sobbing on the phone

i wanna know

your favorite color
and the ways you like to sleep
i see your shadow on the window
when the day slips into evening

you're the caffeine and the nicotine
i need to leave my bed
you're the sickness in my head
you're the reason i'm not dead

i wanna know

i wanna know

hi sorry this is really sad

get drunk to forget that i could jump
sober up and wanna do it twice as much
drink more, but it’s never quite enough
think morbid thoughts to feel more stuck

pass out in the morning when the light
floods over the empty void of night
and this sickness i can't fight
will constantly ruin my life

'til i pass out
on the floor again
and feel the air under my feet
i’m always falling in my dreams
but they aren’t nightmares
i think they’re omens
of what’s coming for me
i see demons in my sleep
then i wake up

get high to forget how much it hurts
come down, just to end up feeling worse
six years of therapy reversed
by every line in every verse

used to write poems just to cope
so ironic, now the rope
around my neck’s entwined
with every letter, every line

my writing
is getting better
but i’m certainly not
put me in the ground to rot
and don’t remember
please forget me
‘cause every memory you keep
will be more pain on you from me
than i can take

sickness (8th floor blues)

happy valentine's day uwu

lyrics:
you hit my line
and say it's alright
i don't ask no questions
just hold on tight

don't wanna know
what keeps you close
what changed your mind
what hurt you most

i'm in your bed
i'm wearing your clothes
it doesn't matter
it's not like you know

that i'm in love
and you're okay
it's way too boring
in this place i stay

change my mind in the morning
break my heart by the time the night ends
said, "it's alright, then?"

i've been waiting for way too long
trying not to break my 0wn heart
break my 0wn heart </3
uwo

right now, i'm so anxious, i'm lightheaded
with my eyes red
it's so cold in my bedroom
i froze solid in my bed
i'm so anxious, i'm lightheaded
can't see straight
i fell out of your headspace
and fell asleep with my knees scraped

i'm so anxious, i'm lightheaded
with my eyes red
it's so cold in my bedroom
i froze solid in my bed
i'm so anxious, i'm lightheaded
i'm lightheaded
i'm lightheaded
i'm so anxious, i'm lightheaded

change my mind in the morning
break my heart by the time the night ends
said, "it's alright, then?"

i've been waiting for way too long
trying not to break my 0wn heart
break my 0wn heart </3
uwo
