## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look me in the eyes

Tell me you're not lyin' to me

See through your disguise

You can't keep on hidin' from me

Time to make it right

So why are you still sayin' I'm wrong?

Well, it's only a matter of time to set it straight

Time to tell the world that you've been lyin' on my name

Doin' what you want and think you're gonna get away

Well, I'll leave it up to faith for now

[Chorus]

But it's only a matter of time

An eye for an eye, you'll go blind

And when did you stop bein' kind?

You twisted your words like a knife

Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside

But why would you make your pain mine?

You're makin' me pay for your crimes

Well, darlin', I'll be fine

But it's only a matter of

[Verse 2]

It ain't over yet

You can't tear me down and act like I will just forget

When karma comes around, then you'll be drowning in regret

But it's not about revenge tonight

[Chorus]

No, it's only a matter of time

An eye for an eye, you'll go blind

And when did you stop bein' kind?

You twisted your words like a knife

Oh

[Bridge]

Pick myself up off the floor, you can't hurt me

No more of this endless charade

I'm not playin' your game

You can say what you like

Doesn't mean that you're right

Are you glad you got that out?

Do you feel better now?

Do you feel better now? Oh

[Chorus]

Time

An eye for an eye, you'll go blind

When did you stop bein' kind?

You twisted your words like a knife

Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside

But why would you make your pain mine?

You're makin' me pay for your crimes

Well, darlin', I'll be fine

But it's only a matter of time
Rest Easy

Rest Easy is an unreleased song by Joshua Bassett from 2020.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You say you're sorry for crying in front of me, darling

I say I'm sorry that he made you feel that you should

I'll kiss your tears for as long as I'm here and they're falling

Your head on my shoulder, I'll write you a song 'til the morning

[Pre-Chorus]

But you don't believe me

When I say

"Doll, I'm not leaving"

Don't you know I'm here to stay?

[Chorus]

So rest easy

Rest easy

At least when you're with me

Rest easy

[Verse 2]

I know you try but it's taking you time to move on

Love at first sight, trusted him with your love and your soul

Your heart in his hands and he took you for granted, he's broken [?] to your soul

I'll grab you my tears [?] I need you to hold still

[Chorus]

And rest easy

Rest easy

At least when you're with me

Rest easy

[Verse 3]

You met a boy you mistook for a man who could hold you

He couldn't see he was crushing the thing he adored

You think it's your fault that it all fell apart but i promise you it's just not true

The greatest mistake that boy ever made was leaving

[Chorus]

Just rest easy

Rest easy

At least when you're with me

Rest easy

[Verse 1: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

You came to tell me it's over

So how'd we end up in my bed?

You said we can't keep on seeing each other

So how come you haven't left?

And now we're both doing better

We went our separate ways

But every time we run into each other

There's so much that we don’t say

[Chorus: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

I can't keep lying, baby (Baby)

I don't know if I can hide anymore

I can't pretend we're just friends

We both know where this is going

I can't pretend wе're just friends

We both know whеre this is going

We both know where this is going

We both know where this is going

Hey

[Verse 2: Sabrina Carpenter, Joshua Bassett & Both]

I hit you up after midnight

You're lucky I'm still awake

Me and my new man got into another fight

Well, darling, I'm on my way

[Chorus: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

I can't keep lying, baby (Baby)

I don't know if I can hide anymore

I can't pretend we're just friends

We both know where this is going

We both know where this is going

We both know where this is going

Hey

[Bridge: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

Say you want me, I, I, I know you want me

Say you want me, I, I, I know you want me

Say you want me, I, I, I know you want me

We both know where this is going (Hey)

[Chorus: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter, Both]

I can't keep lying, baby

I don't know if I can hide anymore

Common Sense

## Music Video

“**Common Sense**” is an original song written by Joshua Bassett. He posted a video of him singing the song on Instagram on July 2, 2018, and it was officially released on April 3, 2020, with slightly altered lyrics. It was his first song to be released.

## About

In an interview with *Broadway World* on April 3, 2020, Joshua Bassett explained his inspiration behind “Common Sense”:

> “Common Sense” was one of those lightning-strike songs: the idea came to me seemingly prepackaged, while I was driving to an acting audition. I could barely keep up with it, spilling out the lyrics into my voice memo’s app. When I eventually parked the car that I was practically living out of at the mall across the street, I quickly whipped out my guitar and finished the song in 15 minutes.
> It felt truly magical. The song is pretty simple; you know someone’s bad news, yet you can’t help but love them anyway. I think everyone, of any age, can relate to that on some level. Love is love, no matter what ‘common sense’ tells you."
>
>

## Lyrics

[Chorus]

Common sense tells me, "Kiss the girl goodbye"

Common sense tells me, "Leave it all behind"

Common sense says, "The girl's not worth my time"

But common sense ain't common when you come to mind

[Verse 1]

Common sense told me, "She was not worthwhile"

Common sense said, "Don't go the extra mile"

Common sense said, "Go back and reconcile"

But common sense forgot about her smile

[Verse 2]

Second chances are thought of to be weak

Second chances in volumes, do they speak?

Second chances aren't given usually

But a second chance is all I really need

[Bridge]

I think I love you

I want to love you

Please let me love you (Love you, love you, love you)

I wish to show you how to love

[Chorus]

Common sense tells me, "Kiss the girl goodbye"

Common sense tells me, "Leave it all behind"

Common sense says, "The girl's not worth my time"

But common sense ain't common when you come to mind

[Outro]

No, common sense ain't common when you come to mind
Home Is Wherever You Are

"**Home Is Wherever You Are**" is an unreleased original song by Joshua Bassett. He first performed the song on The Complicated Tour on April 29, 2023.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You looked at me with that gleam in your eyes

That I knew long ago but I don't recognize

You looked away, 'cause it's too much to take

There's a lump in your throat full of all you can't say

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the closest to Heaven that I've ever been

And I can't help but fall for you all over again

[Chorus]

Home is wherever you are

So just let me lay in your arms

It took us time, time apart

Broke my word, broke your heart

Tell me, "I'm not too far"

'Cause home is wherever you are

[Verse 2]

I walked away, and I left you to drown

Oh, my biggest mistake was not turning around

And surely we've changed but we're still just the

Same old kids, who fell in love so unafraid

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the closest to Heaven that I've ever been

And I can't help but fall for you all over again

[Chorus]

Home is wherever you are

So just let me lay in your arms

It took us time, time apart

Broke my word, broke your heart

Tell me, "I'm not too far"

'Cause home is wherever you are

[Bridge]

And sure it's selfish, I know, but

There's no one else that could come close

I hope you know

[Chorus]

Home is wherever you are

So just let me lay in your arms

It took us time, time apart

Broke my word, broke your heart

Tell me, "I'm not too far"

'Cause home is wherever you are

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

Home is wherever you are

Ooh, ooh

Home is wherever you are

> "The song poured out of me immediately after seeing someone who I thought was my ex at a coffee shop. Sucker punched in the heart, I realized I’m not quite as over them as I thought, and that no one, not even a look-alike, could ever take their place."
>
>

## Lyrics

[Intro]

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was

I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop

And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

[Verse 1]

I've spent a lot of nights memorizing lines

Thinking 'bout what I might say

And, after all this time, I'm still fight or flight

I can't help but run away

[Pre-Chorus]

I know we're getting older

We're moving on and over

But everywhere I go, I see your face

[Chorus]

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was

I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop

And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

[Post-Chorus]

And I thought I was, ooh

Yeah, I thought I was, ooh

[Verse 2]

She wore your yellow dress, same as when we met

I couldn't believe my eyes

Even when I left, I was still a wreck

Tryna find a reason why

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm scared to death to see ya

But I wanted it to be ya

The worst of all I don't even know why

[Chorus]

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was

I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop

And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

[Post-Chorus]

And I thought I was, ooh

And I thought I was, ooh

[Bridge]

The truth is no one's like you

And a heart cannot be lied to

A lookalike could never take your place

[Chorus]

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was

I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop

And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

[Outro]

No, I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

No, I guess I'm not as over you as I thought

And I thought I was

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm wearin' a robe

The same ones we left on the hotel floor

Just one year ago

"Do not disturb" hangin' on the door

[Pre-Chorus]

How the hell we end up, where we did?

Don't you think it's messed up? It all went to shit

It's kind of depressin' bein' here alone

I miss you so I pick up the phone

[Chorus]

And I order room service for one

Champagne mini bar bottles are done

I've got a balcony room with a view

Velvet curtains are closed

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

Mm

Where I once held you

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

Mm

[Verse 2]

The neighbors are knockin', they just wanna sleep

It's 3 AM while my guitar gently weeps

I flip through these old magazines

Dream destinations, we promised we'd see, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

How the hell we end up where we did?

In one year, it all went to shit

[Chorus]

So I order room service for one

Champagne mini bar bottles are done

I've got a balcony room with a view

Velvet curtains are closed

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

Ooh

Where I once held you

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

Mm, ah, oh

[Bridge]

We checked in together, I never checked out

Guess it's heartbreak hotel 'cause just look at us now

[Chorus]

Oh, I order room service for one

Champagne mini bar bottles are done

I've got a balcony room with a view

Velvet curtains are closed

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

Mm

Where I once held you

I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joshua Bassett]

Too many times

I let you cross the line

But your time is up

I'm not afraid to up and walk away

'Cause I've had enough

[Pre-Chorus: Joshua Bassett]

You don't get to do what you want

And take what you need

Might work for the others

But you're not fooling me

Oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

Funny how you hit me up

Funny how it took you so long (so long)

Funny how you walked away

Funny til you heard I've moved on (moved on)

Funny how you wanna play

Funny how you lost your own game (own game)

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny (you think ha)

You think you're funny

Who's laughing now

[Joshua Bassett]

Some of that was

[Verse 2: Sabrina Carpenter]

Word gets around you've been getting around

Just to numb yourself

And all of your friends couldn't keep your secrets

Wonder how that felt

[Pre-Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter]

You don't get to do what you want

And take what you need

Might work with the others

You're not fooling me

No no no (You're not fooling me)

[Chorus: Joshua Bassett & Sabrina Carpenter]

Funny how you hit me up

Funny how it took you so long (so long)

Funny how you walked away

Funny til you heard I've moved on (moved on)

Funny how you wanna play

Funny how you lost your own game (own game)

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny

You think you're funny (you think ha)

You think you're funny

Who's laughing now
Best Friends (Lovers on the Side)

Best Friends (Lovers on the Side) is an unreleased song by Joshua Bassett from 2018.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics from Snippet:**

You make me nervous more than I care to admit

When I'm around you, I forget my name

And so I tell myself the best is yet to come

Counting down the never-ending days

We'll be best friends, lovers on the side

You and occasionally I

We can be more than what we are now

I've got feelings I can't hide

You make me laugh 'til I cry

So let's skip to the good part

You show me things a man has never seen before

Wish that I could show you how you feel

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Only got twelve hours in LA, no time to waste

We'll sneak up to the fire escape and wait for the rain

And most days, dear, you drive me insane, playin' your games

Why don't we both push past the pain so we can say

[Chorus]

(We felt it) Meet me in the middle of midnight

Me, you, my Honda and the Hollywood sign

(Can't help it) Makin' out on Mulholland Drive

Barely made it out alive, crash my car on the sidewalk

We're selfish, we're meltin', we're talkin' shit just to tell it

We're stupid, we're doin' anything we can just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin' (Ooh)

Got no plan, doin' anything we can just to feel somethin' (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Hold me like it's the very last time, at least for tonight

Pull my hair and kiss my head and we'll get high

Skinny dippin' from the Santa Monica Pier

Sign our names into the sand so we remember

[Chorus]

(We felt it) Meet me in the middle of midnight

Me, you, my Honda and the Hollywood sign

(Can't help it) Makin' out on Mulholland Drive

Barely made it out alive, crash my car on the sidewalk

We're selfish, we're meltin', we're talkin' shit just to tell it

We're stupid, we're doin' anything we can just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin' (Ooh)

Got no plan, doin' anything we can just to feel somethin' (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh (Ooh), ooh-ooh (Ooh)

Ooh-ooh (Ooh), ooh-ooh (Ooh)

[Refrain]

Only got twelve hours in LA, no time to waste

Why don't we both push past the pain so we can say

[Chorus]

(We felt it) Meet me in the middle of midnight

Me, you, my Honda and the Hollywood sign

(Can't help it) Makin' out on Mulholland Drive

Barely made it out alive, crash my car on the sidewalk

We're selfish, we're meltin', we're talkin' shit just to tell it

We're stupid, we're doin' anything we can just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin'

(Ooh) Just to feel somethin' (Ooh)

With an embrace as tender as the sunrise and eyes that reflect the radiance of a thousand stars, she cradles the hearts of mortals in the luminous warmth of her affection. In the gentle caress of love's melody and the iridescence of beauty's bloom, her divine whisper echoes:*

*'In the boundless expanse of adoration, I am the eternal flame, the weaver of grace, and the radiant beacon that guides hearts through the veiled realms of existence—an eternal hymn in the grand ballad of cosmic affection.'"*
The Smith

Amidst the symphony of hammer on anvil and the whispered incantations of shaping, their divine decree echoes:*

*'In the endless forge of cosmic design, I am the weaver of worlds, the sculptor of destinies, and the flame that births the artistry of existence—a celestial artisan in the grand tapestry of creation.'"*
Shantris “Foundling”

The Harmony

## Doctrine

*"In the tapestry of existence, she emerges as the Muse of Melodic Tales, weaving the threads of life's journey with the golden quill of her narrative grace. As the Scribe of Life's Journey, she pens the ballads of toil, carving stories into the very fabric of existence. Matron of Laboring Lore, she is the guiding force behind every worker's endeavor, a divine presence that shapes the narratives of roads unexplored. Her celestial song, the Songstress of the Storyteller, she stands at the crossroads of creation, whispering:*

*"In the laborer's toil, the traveler's tale, and the melody of the open road, I am the divine essence that echoes through the very fabric of life.'"*
Dewport

Dewport is the major port city of Hilan. All major import and export from the eastern continent comes through Dewport, and it acts as a major mercantile center for all goods and people coming and going. It is said to be a regular way for the average mortal to gain access to the Feywilde and the Shadowfell, if you have the coin, and if you find the right ship with the right crew.

Dewport is known as the "Sapphire City" or the "Sapphire of Hilan." It got its name from the sparking blue color that the tops of most of the building tiles have been painted. The color and the gloss on the tiles make the rooftops sparkle like sapphire when the sun is high, and at night reflects the pale glow of the moon.

There are many small temples that had been set up to a number of gods here, since there is respect for the diverse religious culture that can be found in Dewport, however there are two large temples to Valkur and Umberlee that stand across from each other in the Temple Plaza. A fountain in the center of the plaza depicting both of the gods in balance combat shows the heavy respect for the duality of the ocean.
The Shadow

## Doctrine

*"In the tapestry of existence, behold the deity of darkness—a sovereign whose presence eclipses the realm in the cloak of night. With a touch as gentle as the hushed whispers of dusk and eyes that mirror the abyss, this god stands as the arbiter of shadows, the keeper of the obsidian expanse. In the silent dance of nightfall, their divine decree resonates:*

*'In the embrace of perpetual dusk, I am the umbral sovereign, the sentinel of shadows, and the eternal enigma that dwells in the heart of the night.'"*
The Architect

## Doctrine

*"In the tapestry of existence, where the stones of order align with the fluidity of cosmic currents, behold the deity of architecture, law, and balance—a divine architect whose every decree echoes in the pillars of creation and resonates in the symphony of equilibrium. As the cosmic draftsman, this god shapes the edifice of reality, etching the laws that bind worlds and fostering harmony in the delicate dance of chaos and order. In the tapestry of existence, their divine decree whispers:*

*'In the measured beats of cosmic balance, I am the silent architect, the keeper of laws, and the orchestrator of serenity—a sculptor of worlds in the grand design of cosmic equilibrium.'"*
The Demise

## Doctrine

*"In the tapestry of existence, where life and death entwine, behold the deity, the silent sovereign over the realms of mortality. With a touch as gentle as the falling dusk and a gaze that mirrors the abyss, this god stands as the arbiter of the eternal sleep, the keeper of the final embrace. In the quiet realm beyond the veil, their presence whispers:*

*'In the hallowed silence where shadows dance, I am the ephemeral guide, the silent reaper, and the harbinger of the eternal mystery that awaits in the afterlife's quiet embrace.'"*

## History

- Reigned after the death of his father, Fentoris Dalynn, 33 years prior

- Was inaugurated on his 100th birthday

- Although he was open to marriage many years ago, all proper attempts to find an Empress seem to have ended when his mother, Elliee Dalynn nee Gwalithe, died some three decades ago.

- While lovely and charming, he tends to sway his opinions in the direction of his councilors on most matters, especially Lyra Aerie.

- Was never meant to rule; his older brother, Idril, disappeared on an expedition over the southern border several years before the death of Fentoris.

Session 003: Toll the Bell

While the party continues questioning their prisoners, a forest gnome named Brynwick has entered Little Grove. Sent out of Spriggan by Oghma on a quest to “Fill the Scroll”, Bryn inadvertently interrupts the interrogation. Jii and Rylan investigate the newcomer, and determining that she is trustworthy, give her the option of going back to her rooms or staying with the party; she stays.

After finishing their questioning and Rylan uses poisons to wipe clean the prisoner’s memories, the group continues to search for the tunnels rumored to run under Littlegrove.  Following a trail of clues to the local cemetery, they find an unsettling scene: open graves, recently-made corpses, and a mausoleum locked with an abyssal symbol. Various items are looted from the graves around, and it is revealed that all of the graves had magical items inside. Jii breaks open the door and the party discover a ceremony-in-progress involving red candles and a sealed jar.

They interrupt the ritual and search the interior. The jar contains eyes, and Bryn and Rylan detect a tunnel running under the burial ground, one giving off distinctly evil vibes. The entrance to the tunnel appears blocked by a sarcophagus, which Fuego struggles to open. As the lid slides off, a tentacle emerges – a tentacle with an eye attached to it.

The party ends the episode facing a beholder rising from the tunnel.

Hetzel Sophson

Hetzel was a mountain dwarf who traveled with The Third Family up until their victory against Fraz-Urb'luu in Lymdell. She parted ways with the party in Morad.

## History

### Before the Story

Hetzel came from the mountain dwarves that lived near Morad, the capital of Hilan. Her life, for the most part, was average for a young female dwarf. Around age 50, after hearing stories about the warrior that her grandmother was, she set out on a quest to reclaim one of her family's lost artifacts, her grandmothers warhammer.

### With the Third Family

Hetzel met the party in Littlegrove, and traveled with them around Hilan on their various journeys, until they stopped in Morad. There, she was asked to return to her clan in order to help protect against a rising darkness forming in the mines.
The Corsair

## Doctrine

*"In the tapestry of existence, behold the deity of the ocean and sailors—an eternal guardian, a beacon to those who brave the untamed waves. With whispers carried on the salty breeze and a gaze as deep as the abyss, this maritime divinity cradles the dreams of mariners and guides their vessels through the tapestry of the boundless blue. In the rhythmic dance of the tides and the echoes of sailor's songs, their divine essence murmurs:*

*'In the heart of the ocean's embrace, I am the compass of dreams, the wind in sails, and the eternal lighthouse that guides each courageous journey across the liquid realm.'"*
Rameles Civar

*"*A revolution is an idea, taken up by bayonets.*"*

**― Napoleon**

## History

Rameles Civar was born as a poor child in the countryside. He does not bear a bastard child's family name, however, because his mother did not disown him for adoption, and she allowed her husband to believe that Rameles was his child. It was not until after her husband's death that Rameles' mother told him the truth. He was 13 years old at the time, and was warned to never pursue it. Years ago, she told him, assassins of the Empress had come seeking him as a baby. They had disguised themselves as servants, and had said they wanted to take the baby with them back to Morad and raise him in luxury. His mother lied, and said that the child did not survive his birthing, and the Empress's people left.

Instead, the seed planted by his mother grew into an obsession with his royal blood...
