My entry for the Homestuck music contest. A song written for one of the comic's characters, Terezi Pyrope.

Two Games Joined is a music project inspired by nerdy things. Mostly video games. No genre boundaries included.
MEMBERS: Gnegon - direction, vocals, bass guitar, writing, visual art Flyghtning - programming, production, keys, vocoder Kelen - electric guitar Two Games Joined is a band/project that builds on the foundations of nerdcore, and strives to expand as vastly on them as possible. The main idea is to take inspiration, cues, themes and songs from all things nerdy - video games, comics, cartoons, sci-fi and fantasy altogether, etc. - and try to take it in a direction that both sounds cool and carries a cohesive meaning. Two Games Joined rarely operates on songs alone; rather, ideas are constructed into releases (so far only EPs and singles) as a meaningful whole. As a result, Two Games Joined doesn't really have a genre - it's "post-nerdcore" which is a term we made up and pretty much sums up everything written out in this paragraph. Most often, it's some sort of mixture of rock/metal and electronics.

Story behind the song
Worth noting for any Homestuck fan is the fact that this song has a 13/4 time signature. The part after the second chorus represents Dave's influence on Terezi. Also, a lot of inspiration here came from the soundtrack to Earthbound, a game that as far as I know was one of the inpirations for the comic itself. Mixed by Luigi Elettrico. We did what we could with the tools, time and communication we had, I believe.
Lyrics
I've seen all kinds of the end I've seen with the eyes unseeing I've been at every turn and bend Been sewing up what you've been tearing Apart My mind splinters with the lines of time My life lingers at the edge of crime My truth bends according to my will My heart commands the treachery be killed I'm the judge and I'm the hangman I'm waging the just and the wrong I'm the dragon breath, insecticide Keep smelling your track and playing along Hehe My mind splinters with the lines of time My life lingers at the edge of crime My truth bends according to my will My heart commands the treachery be killed You may think I'm fooling around But look who is laughing now You know you added too much to the sum Of what I have become That's how it is, right? 'Til we're through Everything has to concern you I've seen your ways and here's what I have to say b*** , luck doesn't work that way! My mind splinters with the lines of time My life lingers at the edge of crime My truth bends according to my will My heart commands the treachery be killed
