I feel a strange atmosphere
In the air, right here
Or maybe it's my mind
Locked in a ritual bind
I'm not sure
If I'm safe or not
But I think at least that I'm alone
Think again
My mind tells itself without my will
Face the end
A voice I hear, it sounds so shrill
The fight begins
But I can't see my enemy
Panicking
I swing my sword 'round aimlessly
As I'm dealt the harshest of blows
I raise my shield and I raise my bow
Eyeballing a tiny hole I noticed in the wall
My arrow flies through, causing the wall to fall
I'm thrown to the ground, but I am no longer blind
Large machines, mechanical and lifeless are seen
Controlling cloaked arms, like those of a god
My bombs will destroy these abominations
Artificial gods will always be flawed
But this is still a mental maze
I see the end, somehow it's too far away
As I analyze my surroundings closely
Peripheral revelation, I've found my way
My grappling hook locks into place
These gods not yet dead
I fight a mental war
Inside my head
The worse kind of sore
Crashing down, I'm nearly incapacitated
But I move on, borderline inebriated
Their powers increase as we battle
And mine weaken
I must find an easy way out
A safe beacon
I scan the walls in search of something, some secret release
A handle in the corner seems to be my only relief
I stride forward toward such a thing
I lock my grappling hook onto the handle
And away I run, as fast as I can
Pulling as hard as my strength allows
I reveal a massive mechanical god
As I fend off the continued attack, I may not see
But their pattern is quite predictable
I strategically plant a few more bombs
The final end, to the artificial god
Got Item!'s self titled EP is a cohesive, polished, and perfectly nostalgic Nintendocore release. The album art captures the darker tones of both the lyrics and music well. Mario Party Foul is one of my favorite breakdown-as-an-intro type songs. It's catchy and sets the mood right off the bat. A solid N-Core EP- I dig it! Unicorn Hole
