Original Song: Mountains of Memory
One of my post-GDC goals is to write 5 songs before GDC 2017, so here is song #2. I worked with subject matter supplied by Aviva, Travis, and myself to come up with this song about aspiring to be a better version of yourself.

MOUNTAINS OF MEMORY
You make my heart feel like a cracked piece of amber
Hot to the touch, learning to glow again
The mirror shows something I don't recognize
Good or evil? I can't theorize
Maybe someday I'll learn not to lie
Until then, will you stay with me?
You give me strength to climb mountains of memory
I can't regret what's been, because it's me
I didn't see you, you're not to blame
Forgot all the needs of those without my name
I gave my heart but it's just not the same
Have patience; I will open my eyes to see
You calm my mind's unrest, serene as the sea
Glory to you, my love - alongside you, I'm free
The fire takes hold and consumes all it sees
It burns but the truth is it only burns me
Skin, flesh, and fury are more than you need
Speak softly; in the silence, you'll be
Speak softly; in the silence, you'll be
