WORLD 1 - 4 (FALL SOON)

origin: July 3rd, 2019 

Before the FALL, I welcomed the destruction; but the last thing I was willing to do was take responsibility.  I looked outside of MAiSELF for someone or something to blame.

LYRiCS

i can't get rid of pain
i guess it's part of game
and still i choose to play
call everybody, "fake"
yet, i'm the one to blame, shame..

WORLD 1 - 3 (SiLENCE)

origin: Sept. 11th, 2019

After leaving THE CiTY, I still found myself trapped within the reverberations of MAiWORLD.  With an important decision lying in MAi hands, I sat in SiLENCE.

LYRiCS

maybe it's too late for me, now
but there's only one way to find out

WORLD 1 - 6 (LEAVE)

Origin: Aug 5th, 2020 

After the battle, I was wounded, and so was everyone around me.  Surrounded by destruction, there was no clear path forward.

LYRiCS

i'll do this by MAiSELF
always focused on MAi fears
now i'm summoning hell
i been wasting all these years
think i need me some help

Song origins: June 22nd, 2019

I had just gotten back home from a visit to MAi Father’s house;  I hadn't seen him in over a year.

While playing MAi guitar, I recalled some advice he shared with me.

LYRiCS: 

why wait til it's your time?
some things won't work out right
Son, it's not waiting for you

God willing, I hope you're right
wanna see you live that life
hope it don't take it from you..

Completed: July 4th, 2021  (over 2 years later, I added a second verse and changed the second half of the production)

FATHER'S TUNE is the PROLOGUE to the music that follows it; a precursor to the storyline of the past 4 years of MAi life that created MAiWORLD.
