Hey, I've decided to release all the other songs from my album onto Newgrounds. Some of you may recognize some riffs in these tunes as riffs in some of my 8-bit work - infact, I wrote these, and then reworked parts of them into chiptune down the line. So while the 8-bit versions were published first, you could consider some of these songs the "Original Version" of certain tunes.
This song has aspects of my previous chiptune songs "White Levels," as well as "Promethium 61."
All instruments and vocals were done by me. I'm not an amazing singer, but it's not like I was gonna get anyone else to do it, so I did it myself.
Here are the lyrics :
Tom sat at his desk
With an unending urge
A boundless, timeless need
An urge to observe
It started for him
When he was very small
He wondered what made squirrels tick
He wanted to know it all
So he took a little knife
And took a step outside
Found himself a little thing
And took out it's insides
He wants answers to his questions
And he'll take them when he can
He has no moral objections
He's just not that kind of man
There's just one thing on his mind
And if you still don't understand
If you're looking for kind, I think you'll find
He's not that kind of man
While most seconds
He only felt numb
When he was elbow deep in guts It felt like love
Later in his life
Blinded by time
He'd expanded his observations
And it felt just sublime
But like any good time
It went by way too fast
And soon he was caught
And his fifteenth was his last
