## Story

You wake up alone and confused in an unknown place which you immediately recognize to be a desert. There is nothing but red sand for miles and miles, and any signs of life are withered and dead. After a while you begin to feel a looming sense of dread that borders paranoia, like something is right behind you, as if you're on the verge of dying. But nothing is there.

You start to recognize that you need to get home, but in doing so you also realize that you don't know where your home is. In fact, you don't remember anything about yourself. Not your name or where you came from, or anything else about your life. All you know is that you are supposed to be somewhere else.

As time goes on you begin to border insanity. You begin hallucinating, feeling and hearing things behind you drawing close, but when you look back to check, nothing is there. The heat is making you uncomfortable, and you need to find a place to hide out from your hallucinations, to rest in the shade away from the beating sun.

You begin to hear footsteps in the distance that draw closer and closer with time, and at first you believe them to be a hallucination, but they do not go away, instead get louder. You can feel something looming behind you until you are struck violently upside the back of your head with a large, hard object, and your vision fades to black as you drop to the floor...

## Lyrics

Endless sand, as far as any eye can see

Empty space, seclusion grim like a disease

Take some time, to grasp your new reality

Void of any sign of life but decomposing trees

Loneliness will follow endless miles ahead

When that goes, you’ll feel neurosis in its stead

Hours on, you can’t escape this sense of dread

Something could be lurking, you don’t know what wants you dead

Death will loom, you feel it crawling on your BACK

Calm it down, or else your consciousness will CRACK

Something’s here! Watch out, it’s ready to ATTACK

Preying on your weakness, cheating everything you lack

Suddenly, you can’t remember where you were

Everything you thought you knew is now a blur

“Let me leave!” But you don’t know where to return

All that you can do is sit and wallow in your hurt

Pray someone finds you, no one will

No life around you all is still

Land full of nothing, Something is coming

Run away, run away,

R u n a w a y

It’s time to scamper for your life, something’s drawing close

There’s something breathing on your neck, there’s nowhere you can go

Nowhere you can run, you don’t know what the world’s become

Or who you are or what’s your name or where you came from

Say goodbye to all your limbs, while you still can

You might as well give up by now, no creature gives a damn

Something’s coming close and what it is you do not know

You look behind only to find there’s nothing there

Say goodbye, to your old home you never knew

(help me)

Try to think, but find you don’t know what to do

(help me)

There’s that dread, it overtakes you through and through

(help me)

No one here to help you only sand engulfs your view

(help me)

What is your name? You do not know

When we all die, where do we go?

Trembling with fear, looks like you’re left here,

All alone, all alone

A l l a l o n e

The sun is beating on your scalp

Man, it’s getting hot

You need to find a place for shade, the sun will never stop

Something’s coming close although you’re sure you’re all alone

And full of fear, you shed a tear, it doesn’t help, oh

Now you need to get away

(Run Away)

Things are heating up

What will you do when night comes by? you’ve got nowhere to run

(Run Away)

Find a place to hide, you hear some creature coming by,

You hold your breath, embrace your death, it never comes

Lift your head, from far away you hear a sound

Getting close, there’s footsteps crunching on the ground

It’s so close, there’s something right behind you now

Something whacks your head, you feel your body shutting down…
