The Gambler 05:06
So a game it is A shot at fame See what gives Behind our names I'll bet it all If it means I'm free The highest hills And lowest valley [LET THE GAMES BEGIN] You think you know the gods I'm a man of luck and that's the fuckin truth Don't you dare ever tell the odds I'm a gambler, a roller, a risker, & a taker too Let the chips Fall where they may Take my life I'm all in today
2.
The Breather 03:01
Its taken me away Too many times to say A chance to exhale The pressure and fails I lie down on the sand And fade Inhale Exhale and Fade
3.
The Survivor 03:26
Through toil and strife I've still survived Car crashes, Head smashes Holding on for dear life Around the bend, and through mends I'm gonna see this god damn thing to the end Lost my job. Lost my faith. Lost my sense of self today. Lost my house. Lost my car. Lost my mom. Lost my way. But I'll never lose my will. No matter what you say. This island may be my last vacation Maybe its some sort of indication No No No No No No I won't let you catch me fall This island may be my last vacation (Maybe its my last vocation) No No No Not at all No I won't let you catch me fall Do what you know best Never rest, just run 'til there's nothing left

The Archer 04:40
Shoot fast Shoot strong Aim high Stay low Keep course Keep true Never let this world take you
5.
So we're halfway there As far as I know Archer gave me a scare So she had to go Just snag the prize Then I shall be free No I in land No death on me

These trees stalk me The branches and twigs Rosemary drowned me In sorrow but lived How many sparkling leaves Remind me of Violets Wait for me Grounded to dust A home of broken violence Whats the god damn combination Potion of youth Find me once more Don't take it, Don't take it These trees stalk me The branches and twigs Rosemary drowned me In sorrow but lived How many sparkling leaves Remind me of Violets Grounded to dust A broken violence If only I knew the Warmth of a bed Help, someone, I'm locked in No I'm fine, get away I swear to God I'm not alive When's the last time we had a little fun? I swear to God I've already died Without substance, I have none Potion of youth Find me once more Wandering alone Never knowing home Lost in my stupor Can't even remember... 1 2 3 4 Knocking on my own door 5 6 7 8 Can never fucking concentrate Grind Grind Grind Grind Grind Well shit, at least I-- Sold out my future For a break that never ends Peaked on the lowest mountain This is how I End

The Hero 03:39
[The Hero] We both know the enemy here Rather be lost at sea No wait, just give me an ear Escape now or hold your peace You and me Take out The Host Set our selves free Keep what we love most Deal I swear I swear I'm going somewhere I swear I swear I'm going home [The Heroine] The Hero and The Heroine Ride into the night The Hero and The Heroine Lovers til they die The Archer and The Alchemist Never said goodbye The Gambler and Survivor Never stood a chance The Hero and The Heroine Carrying the light The Hero and The Heroine Never felt more alive The Hero and The Heroine At the end of their life The Hero and The Heroine Heroes 'til the day they die
8.
The Heroine 07:21
We both know the enemy here Rather be lost at sea No wait, just give me an ear Escape now or hold your peace You and me Take out The Host Set our selves free Keep what we love most Deal I swear I swear I'm going somewhere I swear I swear I'm going home The Hero and The Heroine Ride into the night The Hero and The Heroine Lovers til they die The Archer and The Alchemist Never said goodbye The Gambler and Survivor Never stood a chance The Hero and The Heroine Carrying the light The Hero and The Heroine Never felt more alive The Hero and The Heroine At the end of their life The Hero and The Heroine Heroes 'til the day they... [LEVEL UP] ... die

The End 03:31

about

The idea behind 8 Bit Obituaries was to create an 8 bit chiptune style track once a day for eight consecutive days. Each song is subsequently titled after a character and tells the story of their life and death.

This was final record in the anthology.
8 Songs. 8 Days. 8 Years. 8 Bit.

It was emotional and cathartic for me. Each year my goal was to make the record better and more interesting than the last. Admittedly the songs on #08 can hardly be considered "chip-tunes" by harsh definition of the genre. But it was through 8 years of experimentation that lead me naturally to the sound you hear on this album. But I like where it ended up.

I hope you do too.
