about

Another song that came together with relative ease aside from the bass. I knew I wanted this pseudo reverse sounding tone which took multiple days to craft. One of the few times when I craft on my computer that I actively work to generate a sound versus accidentally discovering one.

Despite the haunting tone this song is actually triumphant. It is the accomplishment of finishing the album and also the story concludes for us as listeners.

lyrics

It was like a dream
No guil for what I said
I’m okay with how this ends
Delete this data point
This royal house alone
Just an entry errored phone
And I still rake in better that way
I still rake in better that way

Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it tight
Let it shine

And Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it known
Be it bright
I won’t burn out

What makes it better
is when you fight yourself
No stance you strike the sky
In full bloom lotus nights
I’ve seen you written down
1 dollar just out of spite
And I still rake in better that way
I still rake in better that way

Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it tight
Let it shine

And Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it known
Be it bright
I won’t burn out

We had a plan for you
it was lovely
I took your name
and I crossed it out
my shame rotted away
I bit my own tongue
There is no blood
the gold inside

You took those stories guilt free
you will keep trying
backdoors keep on knocking
use her as a trojan
horse and the photos
I don’t want them
The time you took in my head
It makes my eyes burn red

Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it tight
Let it shine

Next Time. Stay Down.
When your threat gets tied
Make it known
Be it bright
I won’t burn out

Next Time. Stay Down.
When my light cuts out
You will know
That its time

And Next Time. Stay Down.
There’s no curtain rise
Wave goodnight until the night
When she lays down
