So I bought this a couple years ago now and I still love it soooo much. It has so much complexity, it’s never boring. The singing and music really just put me in a great mood. I love this 10/10
Favorite track: Spider Suite.
Your web is strung and I'll take the bait.
Your trap is sprung now, so don't you hesitate.
Do what you'd like, and I'll go willingly because your venom is ambrosia to me.
You pierce my flesh, your fangs seep deep--
now I'm dissolving into a sweet and dreamless sleep.
Do what you'd like and I'll go willingly because your venom is ambrosia to me.
My fate was sealed when I saw your eyes--
now I'm just dancing towards my own demise.
Do what you'd like and I'll go willingly because your venom is ambrosia to me.
Although it hurts, I can't avoid
longing to go where I know I'll be destroyed.
Do what you'd like and I'll go willingly because your venom is ambrosia to me.
THE WEB
The falling stars you wished upon
are cinders now and now they're gone.
Their residue festoons my fetid field.
Revealing husks of lovers past,
their shells are all that ever last--
I've taken everything that they've concealed.
Whoever told you life was fair?
Look around you everywhere, the cruelty of Nature is displayed.
Why the scorn? Why the surprise?
Everything that's born must die and it isn't I who made the world that way.
What wicked little twist of fate placed you here upon my plate?
Here where no one hears your cries?
Where was your God to steer you through?
Perhaps your God's forsaken you?
Otherwise, why lead you here to die?
MELT AWAY
I know the way how, I'll melt away now.
I know the way.
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist, how strangely I go away.
Now I finally know....
It's merely moments now,
moments now until your feeble flesh bends to my will--
and it will, so rest your weary head.
There'll be no pain, no pain at all,
as everything you are dissolves.
Your fate resolved upon my silky threads.
I know the way how, I'll melt away now,
I know the way.
I'm feeling bliss now, dissolved to mist, how strangely I go away.
Now I finally know.....

I found this album after DSiSM was used in Grimace shake tiktoks of all things. What a funny way to find the best Tally Hall album, even if they don't call themselves Tally Hall here. Bryant Taylor
I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
