O darling, what have we become?
Has all been said, has all been done?
And after all that we’ve been through
Am I still me, are you still you?
O darling, what is it we seek?
Perhaps I think myself a freak
Perhaps I crave a second chance
In the universe’s endless dance
If I had a choice
Still I wouldn’t stay
Set out on a voyage for forever and a day
Exiled from our world
Into parts unknown
Wholly unfamiliar and yet it feels like home
And yet the pyramid still looms
And life still fades and life still blooms
And as the centuries they pass
We’re not the first and not the last
The dawn consumed the night
Bathed in the sentinel’s light
Clinging onto that bone
Ready to put up a fight
My bone came down again
I threw it up to the sky
That was the day I knew
I’d never really die
If I had a choice
Still I wouldn’t stay
Set out on a voyage for forever and a day
Exiled from our world
Into parts unknown
Wholly unfamiliar and yet it feels like home

I see the dawn rise again
The radiance anew
I catch my breath
I see the world spanning out
Unbounded in the view
The limit is my home
On the horizon, the waves
Impassible it claimed
I trek for a bridge
No matter how rough the shore
Lies ahead of me
I'll know I'll find my way
On and on we tread
Far from where we came
The more our paths diverge
The more we stay the same
The fertile fields I have roamed
One journey soon to end
I have what I need
Within the stalks, my cocoon
The nature nurtures me
Yet deep within, I know...
And the travel never ends
And you want to witness all
And you'll witness all you can

Dinosaur Pill

You’re awake, the line is dead
The wires are coiled up in your head
Your unexpected telegram is over
Connected to a time and space
A trophy in a rotten case
That licked you on your sleeping face like Rover
A fossilized remain of a foreign age
Try not to let it out of its gelatin cage
You didn't dig the bones out of some old hill
Just found them in a cabinet...
Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it’s still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That make you you
Will flee now too
Curtains draw, the stage is set
Come on, has it started yet?
You're contemplating in a cloud of clover
A castle with a gear outside
A couple props your mind still hides
To stumble on when busy days are over
You never wrap them up but you can't let go
You find yourself in one and they overflow
Just distract yourself to control the spill
You want to but you haven't yet...
Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it’s still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That flesh you out
Will walk about
Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it’s still there, it makes you scared
That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes
That hold you stuck
Will run amok
Loyalty to your identity
What did that thing ever do for you?
Come with me, you don’t need memories
To be the you that’s listening right now
You can coast, the parts that matter most
Are too far in to carelessly shake out
To fall off or fall out
Look at all the Stockholm syndrome
Piling up in your childhood home
Dinosaur Pill, you know it will
Expand in your brain, the water will drain
But it’s still there

Ithaca Is Calling
04:13

I spent the best years of my life waiting
for this moment
A time to call my own, a place to call my homeland
It’s come here far too soon
I sit around my room
Hatching my plans and schemes I mostly leave forgotten
I spent my longest nights awake wondering through the outside
Amused but still deranged, divided on the inside
Returning to the core
The place i can’t ignore
The wonder behind the fear I just can’t seem to shake off
Oo-ee-oo
To dream or do
To do or die
To sink or fly
Oo-ee-oo
To get a clue
To run and hide
To laugh and cry
I turned my back on battles won and sailed to new adventure
The journey made by all, a lonely mortal tenure
To Ithaca I sailed
And though I have not failed
My home is a fleeting camp, the journey’s just beginning
I spent the morning hours awake writing down the lyrics
Resolved to get it right - to capture the true spirit
Although I sing along
That moment now has gone
My heart still a restless sea where Ithaca is calling

Destroy your desk; it's useless now
Build yourself a fort to hide
Close your eyes and crawl inside
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
The ship you're on is yours alone
The wind will push your sweet, sweet ride
But this foreign wave just appearified
You're sailing on the pumpkin tide
Focus on the sound of my voice
You are under my control
Obey my will or I'll bury you alive
And it's you who'll dig your own damned hole
Forget your friends, what good are they?
Suckers filled with words that chide
Heads green with envy but orange with pride
Sailing on that pumpkin tide
Listen to their whispering voice
The current where the pumpkins roam
You never saw a thing
Never saw the thing you think you saw
Just shadows looking for a home
The door into your heart is locked
It's gun is buried in your mind
Too heavy to carry, but too huge to leave behind
Without it you would surely die
But even that's just another lie
Sailing on the pumpkin tide

Violet or gold
Violet or gold
From what vantage is your story told?
Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?
Are you revered? Are you feared?
Violet or gold
I am the agent of golden white
Children of mine vow to fight the good fight
Watching us die for a hopeless cause
They take up our banner with nary a pause
I am the agent of indigo black
Children of mine learn to watch their backs
Surrounded by villains on ev'ry side
We are the fall that comes with black king's pride
Violet or gold
Violet or gold
From what vantage is your story told?
Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?
Are you revered? Are you feared?
Violet or gold
Violet or gold
Violet or gold
Do you hear whispers of monstrous love from farthest rings?
Do you see visions in clouds above?
We are the agents of Prospit and Derse
We sing the truth wrapped in riddles and verse
If you have listened to our little song
Maybe you know where you belong
Violet and gold
Violet and gold
From your vantage are all stories told (From what vantage is your story told?)
You will slumber while kingdoms grow old (Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?)
You will see visions in clouds above
You will hear whispers of monstrous love
Children revered
Children feared
Violet and gold
Violet and gold
It was the dawn of man
I held a mouse in my hand
I've seen so many just deaths
Wond'ring what he'd planned
I've been this road before
My mouse is done clicking back
I've read both candy and meat
And swore I'd never look back
It's been a long long time (Violet and gold)
But things have just begun (Violet and gold)
It's been a long ten years (Violet and gold)
Will Homestuck ever be done?
It was the dawn of fans
It was the dawn of me and you
It's friendships forged and fanworks scored
And fanfics born anew
Hah!
(You got that telecaster twang...)
(You're twanging in my soul...)
You've got a reason to live, got a reason to live
No matter what you say, no matter what you take away
There's always something you can give
In your dreams you're the star
It's you who makes that catch
You've changed, you've grown up
Your wounds have sewn up
The ship you're on is yours alone
My heart lies with the sea
My heart lies with the ocean
It's been a long long time,
But I've changed for good
(It's been a long long time...)
