In case you don’t know, I’ve been obsessed with producing songs lately by exploiting the amazing AI service Udio. I’ve already made and released two full albums based on a strange story I wrote back in 2021, named Odes to My Triceratops. It follows the adventures and misadventures of a trio of friends who live in a town lost in the map. The main dude is a songwriter named William Griffin, who’s passionate and sensitive, if a bit unhinged. Another character is William’s next-door neighbor Claire Javernick, who’s a blind redhead. Then we have Lorenzo, who’s a sentient triceratops for no justifiable reason. You can download the first two albums of this story through this link.

Anyway, new song. This one’s called, “The Last Wait.” A synth-pop song about William taking a significant step further in his downward spiral.

Lyrics below:

My heart is a cemetery,
My mind, an abyss.
In a flash, all becomes clear:
It’s far too late.

The things I wanted to do
Wouldn’t make a difference now.
Ahead, I see decades of emptiness,
Staring into a glass, shooing away flies.

I was happy once, but never again.
I’m weary of waiting for a brighter day.

You must brace for your final days,
And I’m getting ready for mine.
