Bright eyes look up | just to be ignored. The same as before... A cue to restore the | light dyes of blue | and dot the skies with clouds; the locations of the memories, | I had found | and lost. Lost and found. Bright eyes look up | just to be ignored. The same as before... A cue to restore the | light dyes of blue | and dot the skies with clouds; the locations of the memories | I had found | and lost. Lost and found. Desire to be seen, those | bright eyes, oh so keen had | hatched a plan that'd guarantee. The greatest action done, | the host spots and locks on, | those bright eyes simply had to go. "You better hide now." "I'll find your hideout." "I know the layout." "You'll never know how." "You can't esca- a- a- a-" "I'll find your hideout." "I know the layout." "You'll never know how." "You can't escape now now. ow. ow. ow." Bright eyes look up | to face the host once more. The same as before... No "human error" core. Light dyes of hue | had started crashing through | the locations of the memories | I had found | and lost. Lost and loved. Those bright eyes realized, | those watchful eyes had lied, | this promise broken drew the line. A once dead pixel lights, | a cathode tube ignites, | a once lost cause becomes a fight. Bright eyes look up | to settle the score. A change from before... A cue to restore the | lifelines, worldviews, | and all the in-betweens: the locations of the memories | I had found | and lost. Lost and found. Lost and loved.

Half-Life 05:02
Stay still with me My company And let's just be Still silently Stay still with me Why must it be The roots and leaves Start falling to pieces When you leave me? Hah, stay still with me The weather's cold and The water's freezing I need support cause I cannot stand alone I'm waiting for the day The sun will shine it's rays I'm trembling, will you hold my hand One more time? They're calling me out I'm breaking down now I know I must be Causing so much grief when viewed Cutting away from thee The tears go straight to me I'm trembling, would you just leave and let me be But you came then My only friend You saved me from my end Stay still with me My company And let's just be Still silently Stay still with me Why must it be The roots and leaves Start falling to pieces When you leave me? Hah, stay still with me The weather's warm and I've started burning The town's alarmed but Not doing a thing about it I'm left there in the flames With not a single gaze I'm trembling, I've Really done it now, this time But you came then My only friend And put out the fire that Had engulfed me But you came when I was to end And almost left again Stay still with me My company And let's just be Still silently Stay still with me Why must it be The roots and leaves Start falling to pieces When you leave me? Hah, stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me Stay still with me

about

The classic. Hard-Disk Hide and Seek came in a time where Porter Robinson's Sad Machine was tearing us all apart, and I had just grabbed Avanna and just... wanted to make something.

Half-Life, however, wound up being the fan favorite, which I hadn't expected, and then I fell out of love with Hard-Disk Hide and Seek. It's too direct in it's storytelling, or something, but people are still pretty attached to it. Not that I dislike it, I just am not in love with it.
