• Made for: LevelSelect challenge
• Task: Create your game-inspired masterpiece.

I created a chiptune/trap track that ask the question, does the hero actually want to do any of the tasks they are asked to do? Beneath the videogame imagery lies a familiar human struggle with overwhelming expectations, emotional exhaustion, and the burden of being everyone else's solution while barely managing your own troubles. Sometimes the hero doesn't want another quest, another battle, or another responsibility. Sometimes they just want to put down the sword and rest. But when the game ends, all they get is another restart.

If someone keeps saving everybody else at the expense of themselves, who's supposed to save the hero?
──────────────────────────────────
I, I carry, the sword,
Try, try, and get this world,
Restored, try and cut through,
Like a warlord, 
every war,
every war, leaves me torn, forlorn,
Battle-worn, but I swore,
I would, keep,
Moving,
I'm the hero,
Or so,
They, think..

Everyone, thinks,
The solution, lies with
Me, I ain't the fix,
Just, just another, piece,
That, don't fit,
(don't)(don't)
Put it, all, at my
Feet... I can't
Keep, doin', this..

(war, torn)
(war, torn)
(Battle-battle-worn)

I, I carry, the sword,
Try, try, and get this world,
Restored, try and cut through,
Like a warlord, 
every war,
every war, leaves me torn, forlorn,
Battle-worn, but I swore,
I would, keep,
Moving,
I'm the hero,
Or so,
They, think..

All-all I want,
Is to, get some rest,
I'm too broke, to pretend,
I was ever, made to
Carry this..
Till the end,

(war, torn)
(war, torn)
(Battle-battle-worn)

(Game,)
(Game,)
Game over.. man
(Just, game over)(Just, game over)
(Just, game over)(Just, game over)
Just...
Restart..
(Just, game over)(Just, game over)
(Just, game over)(Just, game over)
