about

In this chapter, after miraculously surviving his fall, Prill is mourning yet another failure that was caused by his blind delusion and pride. He then runs into a man he was once acquainted with named, "Demetrius." Demetrius gasses Prill with a concoction and drags him off the path. When Prill wakes up, he feels vulnerable, broken, empty, and further betrayed—unable to understand why everybody and everything seems to be working against him.

lyrics

O' it was fool's gold!
As I approached, distilled—swimming in dither
Had I gone astray?
Was it from longing for the crest I’d obtained?
I wouldn’t feel the chains

I was lost again
The bridge from here to you was burned,
And I was stuck in between two cliffs
-One behind and one in front
I sank down until a hold from up above
I felt a pressing weight from my new crown,
But I could never ever take it off

I was trapped under all the nonsense upon my height
How there was no fortune after all!
Just a boa constricting and pressing in

I've tried my hardest to fight against her revolt,
But she had stonewalled
O’ she’s the prospect I’d never hold!
And a reflection from the out
Distracting from the realm within me
I knew not friend nor foe,
For everything I saw was filmed in wrong

I was dreaming
Ladada-ladada-ladadum
I was dreaming
Ladada-ladadaaa!

When I awoke, the world I knew had been retired
It dropped down
I dropped again!
And I regret pursuing the foul beast,
For I had let arrogance contort my perspective
I’m in ire!
And what a waste to think I had it perfect!
No, what did I have?
What did I have?
Nothing!
I am sincere when I say
That I wish that I never went back to the sea
-Deeper, the pit of my failures

In my eyes, you’re a clockwork soot-bat
Rearranged by perception
Do you feel it, or do you just want to leave me?

Well, aren’t I just the black-sheep jackal
Kicked from Salvation's den!
How do I know you don’t trust me?
Because you tricked me...
Is to trust not to put all faith into someone you don’t know?
Well, I don’t know you
At least I don’t anymore

about

Hungry Lights

Hungry Lights is my solo music project. The plan is to release five concept albums all surrounding a character named, "Prill," who is a plesiosaur hunter on a quest to better his life, but everything he does just adds to his own delusion and lack of self-worth. The music is the musical interpretation of a book series I have been writing called, "From Windfall To Hell." ... more
