about

inspiration from a character played by YouTuber Karl Jacobs as part of a long-running Minecraft roleplay server not unlike a D&D campaign. 1/5.

lyrics

losing daylight, falling out of blue skies
I'm scared of getting pulled to the other side
purple twilight, I'm stuck in between times
could you lift me up and tell me not to cry

future, past, again, again
I've run until my blisters bled
anything to save my friends
remember how it all ends
lift me up, card and flame
hold me 'til it goes away
heart and hands, face to face
don't hate me when I forget your name

rewind, reset the tape
once there was a boy who resisted fate
a boy who could see through time and space
a gift and a curse; whatever it takes
every pounding heartbeat runs faster and faster
there's no time to waste when averting disaster
no time to spend on moments of laughter
but if you're okay, then that's all that matters

if you're okay, then that's all that matters
I'll pay whatever price they ask for
'cause if you're okay, then that's all that matters

nothing lasts, it's entropy
but what is that to a boy like me?
you'll stay alive, I'll keep you free
I'll keep you all safe from bad dreams
that's a prize worth paying for with memories

rewind, reset the tape
once there was a boy who forgot his name
a boy who forgot his best friends' faces
a gift and a curse, an eternal race
every pounding heartbeat runs faster and faster
there's no time to waste when averting disaster
no time to spend on moments of laughter
but if you're okay, then that's all that matters

losing daylight, falling out of blue skies
I'm scared of getting pulled to the other side
purple twilight, I'm stuck in between times
could you lift me up and tell me not to cry

my purple twilight's falling faster
but I can save you, and that's all that matters
if you're okay, then that's all that matters
I'll pay whatever price they ask for
'cause if you're okay, then that's all that matters

Romanus Boston, Massachusetts

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!
