Freeze 03:24
Freeze the thoughts away, dark thoughts, night thoughts Thoughts hoping for me to freeze Light of snowy day, bright thoughts, light thoughts Thoughts of a striking, cold breeze [Bass solo] Let light usurp dark, just as the driven snow Intensifies our surroundings Gentle silver ark, of all the paths to show She brings us a new beginning Freeze Freeze

Get out of my head, get out of my head Get out of my head, get out of my head Dear Diary, today I cracked a smile, can it bee I've finally gone insane Oh destiny, the thoughts I've reconciled, speeding up titration in my brain Despise the life yet too afraid to die, emotionless and blindly marching on So cold the ground and open is the sky, standing here yet I am truly gone Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for Dear Diary, today I realised the world is nothing but a breathing wheel The happy thoughts I had were living lies, there's no truth in anything I feel Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for Now everyone can be happy, won't show my face again Now everyone can be content Put on a happy face, save you my disgrace Today I'll find a use, or use my old excuse Stuff my broken heart inside a mason jar Use my blood to paint your walls in black, show no restraint [Guitar solo] Dear Diary, today I must confess I did it all in spite of my own self Can you hear me, a writhing, twisted mess, my final entry, put you on the shelf Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for Now everyone can be happy, won't show my face again Now everyone can be content Get out of my head, get out of my head Get out of my head

A sharpened blade, my friend, my bane, amethyst eyes staring back at me I could not keep it all contained, red river running far as the eye can see Looks like you're back again, when will the torture end A feral creature coming back 'cause I lent you a guilty snack Gimme all you got, gimme all you got Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon Pacing through the piercing rain, I've got nowhere, yet somewhere to be In the open, so constrained, how far do I go before I feel free Looks like you're here again, when will the madness end This little devil coming back but this time I'm on the attack Gimme all you got, gimme all you got Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon Gimme all you got, gimme all you got Every ounce of guilt inside your brain, feed the raccoon Are you afraid of the dark, true monsters come out in the light Even the tiniest spark is lookin' for a fight This isn't some Eldritch hiding under your bed It's a human who wants to get into your head A person with a story, just like you and me Eyes fixated on their destiny Turn out the lights, go back to sleep Don't lift your head, count all the sheep Back to your dreams, give it no thought The creatures outside, let them all rot Keep running, keep running, tear down the wall Keep running and running to nowhere at all Keep moving, keep moving, further your probe Keep moving and moving, encircle the globe Keep sleeping, keep sleeping, your dreams are your friend Keep sleeping and sleeping for your happy end Don't wake up, don't wake up, for pests greet you there Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air You've run out of air, you've run out of air Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air You've run out of air, you've run out of air Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air There's nothing left to fear, you'll spend forever here A wish of eternal night granted for you out of spite A sharpened blade, my friend, my bane, amethyst eyes staring back at me I could not keep it all contained, red river running far as the eye can see Looks like you're here again, when will the madness end This little devil coming back but this time I'm on the attack Gimme all you got, gimme all you got Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon Gimme all you got, gimme all you got Every ounce of guilt inside your brain, feed the raccoon Feed the raccoon I said get out of my head

Three 04:05
Three souls inside the void, three souls to make a toy, three souls to bring you joy Three times you walked away, three times upon the day, three times it went your way Three reasons for concern, three lessons yet to learn, three symptoms to discern Three killed in cold blood, three left before the flood, three face down in the mud I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, irregular heartbeat One thing stands in my way now, it's just you and me now, enveloped in heat now No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat Three friends are lyin', three friends inside your head, three friends wrapped up in red Three bloodied uniforms, two green eyes, heavy storms, one of us misinformed No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat My heart pounds, it won't stop My heart pounds, it won't stop My heart pounds, it won't stop I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, irregular heartbeat One thing stands in my way now, it's just you and me now, enveloped in heat now No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat

Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets Learning how to love you leave your blood on the trail Look at the sky above and down comes a steel rail It'll lead you where your heart yearns, through jagged twists and over cliffside turns Break your hands and knees to try and follow along Tell Yo Mama "please I just want to belong" And down comes the bridge into a mountain ridge My hands destroy, heart feels no joy, brain cannot think, my soul shrinks My hands destroy, heart feels no joy, brain cannot think Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets Learning how to walk until trenchfoot sets in Learning how to think until the devils get in Pain and paranoia, they contemplate how to destroy ya Break yourself in pieces, part by part Break yourself 'til you've become a work of art And down comes the light to set your thinking right, and it goes away My hands they shake, my heart it breaks, brain rotting down, soul's not around My hands they shake, my heart it breaks, brain rotting down Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets For a fleeting moment I'm as free as a starling But there's chains around my feet, feathers fallin' off my wings Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets Make sure everyone forgets Make sure everyone forgets Make sure everyone forgets

Here in my confusion, is it just illusion that I strive for common good Here on the altar, I spilt all the water and stole all the bread 'cause I could My body's a temple, my soul is a priest, the whole congregation sees through all I preach The answer is simple, I just need relief, but everything I look for slips right out of reach Right out of reach I'll be your martyr, cut out my eyes for your lenses I'll be your offering, harvest my mind for your senses I'll be your devil, when someone needs to hold blame I'll be your martyr, I'll the crown with no shame Here in my frustration, my own sick creation, the fires I light to consume Here on the altar, I spilt all the water, but still the flames conquer the room My body is broken, my soul is a mess, the whole congregation in a line to confess Tear the skin open, reject your caress, run now to safety, it's all for the best It's all for the best I'll be your martyr, cut out my tongue to give you voice I'll be your offering, hit me until I've been destroyed I'll be your devil, and rot away in your darkest place I'll be your martyr, he who's shame divides time and space I'll be your martyr, cut out my eyes for your lenses I'll be your offering, harvest my mind for your senses I'll be your devil, when someone needs to hold blame I'll be your martyr, I'll the crown with no shame

Rivers 07:32
[Electric piano solo] The infinite potential trickles down from mountains of doubt Running over cliff walls and down to bustling wood Rivers of life's beauty, branching far and ever so out Granting the creatures here the power of 'could' Granting the creatures here the power of 'could' A fish is life to a man who catches the wriggling thing And presents his daily catch to a village so admiring A fish has poisoned the man with epiphany and greed He has made up his mind to catch more than he'll need He has made up his mind to catch more than he'll need Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide [Guitar solo] The infinite potential stagnates, forming wetlands and marsh And man sits down beside it, and sets up his bustling towns The endless riches run out as nature turns all harsh And the people have taken notice to the thorns in their crowns And the people have taken notice to the thorns in their crowns A fish is life to a man who catches the wriggling thing And presents his daily catch to a village, broken and starving A fish has poisoned the man with epiphany and greed He has made up his mind and this warning he'll never heed He has made up his mind and this warning he'll never heed Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide

Craters 04:32
Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, hand and plaster meet with a kiss Tell me I'm not on my own in feeling all alone Here in the crowd overflowin' with sound, tellin' you it's too loud everywhere around Inside the silent sun our hearts will beat as one Won't you run from your happy, warm gun, it's the prize you have won Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, waiting for the life I have missed Tell me I'm not on my own in feeling all alone Pain in my head, spending days in bed, pillow's turning red, am I really dead Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, hand and plaster meet with a kiss Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist Holes are everywhere On my wall On my wall On my wall On my wall

about

TRIGGER WARNING: lyrical content relating to mental illness, self-harm, and suicide

Have you ever played a game called Doki Doki Literature Club? Perhaps not. I discovered DDLC when it was new in the autumn of 2017, and needless to say it left an impact on my life. It might sound silly, but after playing the game I started taking my needs and personal doubts more seriously. Everything on this album was written when I was most active in DDLC's community.
