Name: Darkness
Duration: P00H04M35S
Description: Inspired loosely by Svalbard, Norway, where it is not unusual for it to be dark 22 hours a day, and for the remaining 2 hours to be a sort of twilight. I imagined what it would be like to be without sunlight, and how that would feel like the loss of a lover or partner, who, after always being there, simply went away with no promise of return.

lyrics

you rise
just to leave me
like the promise
of a day gone

i wonder if i even care

drop down
and it’s over
and i face another
lonely

night comes for me a bit too soon

darkness
and i wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how i long to embrace you alone again
darkness
i will fall down before you like i’m going blind

lie still
quiet falling
like the velvet
of the evening

i’m broken and alone again

darkness
and i wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how i long to embrace you alone again
darkness
i will fall down before you like i’m going blind

honor calls for days return
once again the dawn
lift the veil surrounding me
gazing down upon

darkness
and i wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how i long to embrace you alone again
darkness
i will fall down before you like i’m going blind

about

Cryptic Cadet Las Vegas, Nevada

What started out as the most brutal slap fight in the history of Vegas wound up being a collab that was the only topic worth discussing after the drugs had peaked and it was too late to get any more alcohol.

After a random meeting, Mark Owen and Cam Tyler discovered a mutual love for hiding out in acoustically treated spaces, hunching over keyboards, and screaming obscenities at each other. ... more
