about

Between my hometown and another world exists a nature reserve in a valley. This used to be the hallowed passage in which I would travel to get to someone I loved. It was the literal pathway out of living a sheltered life, as I left my mental and physical comfort zone to meet someone I'd never met before, in a city I'd never been to. That meeting changed my entire life.

Years later, a meaningful dream about the apocalypse.
A temple floated above the valley, a harbinger of the apocalypse. Pink and yellow energy emanated from behind like plasmatic fog.

The world began to fade and I felt content. The apocalypse is so romantic somehow, but don't just wait around for it.

lyrics

On the hilltops overlooking everything
Pulse spiking as light weakens and goes away
Millenniums pass by like seconds did before: time dilates

We're resting in the valley forever
We're sleeping, napping while the sand glass shatters
We're resting in the valley together
We're fast asleep while history repeats and fractures

Ongoing struggles have dissolved
Our mortal fears have disappeared
A life time spent fighting for false icons
This planet that barely took place

Good memories, that's all we ever were
Just abstract thoughts inside a machine god
Analogous to artifacts of past
We never know, we never know how fake we are

There's panic, no one understands my comfort
There's screaming, violence builds and overflows
I ask them if they could please just keep it down
I tend to be loud, but for once...

We're resting in the valley forever
We're sleeping, napping while the sand glass shatters
We're resting in the valley together
We're fast asleep while history repeats and fractures

The things above are laughing now
The tidal wave made from the tears
But I'm okay, sleeping with you right now
This nap is all that took place

Good memories, that's all we'll ever have
Spatial infractions of capacity
Electric star matter: We burst/implode
I'm sorry it took so long to be happy
