about

In this first chapter, Prill is a bandaged, mummy-looking, burn victim who is being held hostage as payment for the notorious pirate "Reflaugh" returning his daughter home after he vengefully kidnapped her because Prill murdered his brother. Prill has been a slave on Reflaugh's ship for the last year and will remain one until he pays off the debt he owes for Reflaugh's brother's life. He explains that he just wants to die. He hates who he has become, and he feels that he is just spiraling deeper and deeper into misfortune. He misses the man he used to be, but he knows he cannot ever get that man back. He is analyzing and mourning over all the things he did wrong and pondering why he is even alive still.

lyrics

I’m the eyes on a satellite
I identified the pieces that were left behind,
But how can I see with a blindfold?
-Take it off and suffer
Now I’m acting kinda’ strange
Nobody’s home inside
I did it to myself ‘cause I went left-field
I’d have to take the time to find out
No one’s home, but the light still shines

Listen,
I’m no star, but I was forged in the night
-The remnants of a universe built on lies
And yet… and yet my story still rides
Creeping at the corners
-Growing up the sides
A figment of the figment that I kept in spite of
Tryna’ figure out all the mess inside
While I’m wrapped up in changing,
All the rest subsides
I’ll ride out ‘til the end
-Just to test my might
I’m fine!
I’m not affected!
Someone let me slide
Someone watching above kept me all tied up...
So I did my best to find my way
Through all the dark—struggle less
-Blessed

If this plaque on my soul doesn’t let me fly,
I’ll proceed to a fall
No surprise, I’ll survive
Maybe the will of the gods keeps me alive
‘Cause some vengeful holds don’t let me die
It’s like a slap to the face…

Rolling down all hope, so I can’t fight the waning
Justifying won’t stop this mass-pretending
My low reality has been broken!
Even with all pieces, I’m just too far down

Listen here…
To a man confiding all his secrets at the bottom
I can’t quite remember who I was before,
And who that was is gone
It’s like I rearranged everything
Then crawled away, deep from the center
Spiraled out ‘til the catch hooked back and relapsed
But nothing is ever set in stone

I pulled out from the sap—my surprise attack
I snapped!
And that’s a me that I can’t get back
I’m at a new low where I can’t distract myself
Stuck til’ I learn to accept all my demons
-Tap into this brand new me
Does no one else in the world know how I am feeling?
In the solid pitch-black,
I step through the marsh of the mind,
And its chord is dissonant
I’m another conflicted soul that has nowhere to go
Ripped and stolen from my home
My treasure brought back to its trove
Flames were spent and turned to coals
My wings were clipped and skin exposed
Take a step back and review
All the masks that decorate that hole

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
