Another stellar video from the brilliant animation team at Giddy Goat Studios!! HUGE thanks to Sean for powering through this tongue-twister of a song! We wanted to capture the duality of Kinger's personality and create a lyrical and instrumental contrast between the chaos of his mind when the lights are on, and the reflective state he enters when the lights are off. Kinger is definitely one of my favorite characters from TADC, and we really hope we did his story justice!

Wait... where am I?
What is this? *gasp*
Is that a microphone?
Something’s got control of me
That I can not explain
It’s like a billion bumble bees
Are buzzing in my brain
I think I should be worried
And I really don’t know why
But I feel it in my body
And I feel it in my mind
Kind of like I’ve been edited
By the thoughts inside my head
And I really wish I could run from it
But it’s running me instead
It’s like somebody’s flushing
My higher functions down the drain
I would think I’m going crazy
If I wasn’t so insane
Darkness...
Picking up the pieces
Drowning out the light
I suddenly remember her...
Everything about her
Makes me feel alive
WAIT! Don’t turn on the light!
(Light light light light light)
Don’t turn on the light
(Light light light light light)
Don’t turn on the...
I feel like I should know this place
I’ve seen it all before
But the only place I recognize
Is in my pillow fort
I wish I could remember
What I came out here to do
But how’s that even possible
When I can’t remember you
I hear 10,000 voices
And they’re all talking super loud
But at least I’m not hallucinating
Wait, is that a cow?
Feels like all my thoughts are leaking
Out of little holes inside my mind
And I haven’t had a memory
Since nineteen-something-nine
Darkness...
Picking up the pieces
Drowning out the light
I suddenly remember her...
Everything about her
Makes me feel alive
WAIT! Don’t turn on the light!
(Light light light light light)
Don’t turn on the light
(Light light light light light)
Don’t turn on the...
Sometimes I see things
A little more clearly
And though it’s all fleeting
I know I’m still me
I’m still here because she
Lives in my memory
And that makes me believe that
One day I’ll be free from the
Darkness
Picking up the pieces
Drowning out the light
I suddenly remember her
Everything about her
Makes me feel alive
Darkness
Picking up the pieces
Drowning out the light
I suddenly remember
Her
Everything about her
Makes me feel alive

Hello DDR’s (dedicated description readers)
Hasn't been too long this time, huh?! Let's see, what's happened since the last time we spoke... I got sick and lost my voice (which SUCKS because I have a LOT of stuff I need to record and I am not very patient, but it has given me a good excuse to work on my hobbies like flying and upgrading my plane, so that's been nice).
Claire turned 27 yesterday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!!) We went shopping all day, then had beignets and opened presents with my family, so that was fun!
Oh yeah, and the Insane music video got taken down by Amazon! As frustrating as that was, we've actually been able to make some pretty good headway on that situation (big thanks to Viv and the SpindleHorse team for being so helpful and supportive of fan content)! I have high hopes we'll get the video back up soon, fingers crossed!
In the meantime, feel free to watch one of the many reuploads on other people's channels. That animation is far too good to be buried!!
Ok, I think that's it. Thank you all! Your love and support mean the world to us!
