about

In this chapter, Prill is swimming home to his wife, "Prite." He has a lot of regret and further expresses his desire to erase his past and start over. He is pulled underwater by a mysterious creature but manages to break free and survive.

lyrics

I had taken long to your shore
From within the febrile sea, I'd finally emerged
On the surface, I kept aspire to never stop
My muscles ached, and I was torn

I deny that I am exhausted
-Soon to end
My paramour stood open-armed
On the sand where first took our glance
I'd keep the promise that I made along that bank

All my life, you're all I need
-The one to draw prosperity
Erasing you would be my fault, and I'd not cry

Stroke by stroke, my arms felt like concrete
I kept my head above the surface,
But I choked the brackish water
O' I seethed!
It pushed waves of death deep inside my head
-Vibrations of psalm
Amidst the swell, I heard you!

All my life, you're all I need
-The one to draw prosperity
Erasing you would be my fault, and I'd not cry

But as I inched the forward, how kelp bristled my feet!
Entangled in those fingers
And I'd no strength for a counter
It wrenched and pulled me under
I kept my hands aloft
I would not break my promise
Not here, so close to you!

O' I grabbed the strings, and I dug into that knot!
Pushed to your shore, I stumbled out

All my life, I tried to be the one to draw prosperity
I'm wishing everything I drew was gone, and I'd not cry

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
