I started writing this song about nothing and then the Homestuck fandom gave it a meaning. So here's a song about the meteor.
So here you go. Thanks for playing.
lyrics
There's reasons for these bags under my eyes.
it's effort I don't give except in lies.
Maybe it's the weight of all
the promises that i can't keep?
But the universe will not let me sleep.
Let's talk about the time i waste,
all the things i said i'd do but only say.
And nothing was done today,
but i still feel, i shouldn't be awake.
Exhausted from the same old grievance.
Another day, another moral inconvenience.
and who would bat an eye,
as the world around them dies,
and who could,
i can't seem to close mine.
I wish that we weren't
forced to find out,
I wish we never knew
what this was about.
There's reasons why we
fall so far so fast.
there's reason why the
plusses never last.
And rest is the world's best advice,
but the universe would kill me if i tried.
The time still passes and i wait.
There's still so much left to do when i'm awake.
And i've long lost track of days,
in just one night, where all is just a haze.
I've long forgotten what dreams feel like,
another sleep, another eon lost from daylight.
You've leant too many words,
they're more than just absurd,
but i think this can't be too much worse.
The stars have gone dark, and i'm shaking.
No questions why i deserved anything.
There's reasons why we
fall so far so fast.
there's reason why the
plusses never last.
I take my own thoughts with a grain of salt,
when i tell myself that this is all my fault.
There's reasons for these bags under my eyes.
it's effort I don't give except in lies.
Maybe it's the weight of all
the promises that i can't keep?
But the universe will not let me sleep.

A lovely album that, like “Songs for Sad Trolls”, keenly reflects the emotions and experiences of various Homestuck characters.
“Fool” is equal parts gloomy, angry, romantic, and sorrowful. I’ve cried while listening to its heartbreaking lyrics and emotional sound. --N--
I'm re-reading homestuck again, like a sane person, and just went on a spiral wailing to myself (lovingly) about all the beautiful art that came out of this fandom in its prime, some of which is just as integral to my love of this ridiculous webcomic as the thing itself. Haven't bit the bullet to buy the OSTs on bandcamp yet but this album deserves it. I'm very normal about things I loved when I was 14 and continue to love, I promise big suit david byrne
New York duo showcase an enigmatic blend of math rock guitars, pop-punk sing-a-longs, emo confessionals, and even rave-ready synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
