Empty Diary was created for the rhythm game Unbeatable.
Narratively, it’s used to represent Beat, the protagonist, having issues with creative motivation, and is quite on the nose about her disdain for journaling.
A remix by SoundCirclet also features in the game.
I wanna share what's in my heart
But my emotions tear apart
All the words, all the chords
Before they have a chance
I try to write them in a book
But all the effort that it took
I'll rip the page
And let the pieces slowly drift away
I can't escape
This feeling and
The shadows that it casts from its core
I can't find
A new light
To guide me back from the dark
Every time I open up
This book of mine
I always find
It's all lost, it's all gone
No thanks to the endless loop of
Apathy, perpetually
Tearing up the pages of
My feelings to nothing
And I can't makе it stop
A melody
Was effortlessly free
But now I only see
An еmpty diary
Throw the notebook to the ground
To join the pages from its bounds
Had enough
This feeling stole the passion right out of me
I lay my head into my hands
I've given it all that I can
How do I
Open up and let the words free
Oh, I reach out
To find a song
To give it a meaning for myself
And I'll take hold
And I'll cling tight
But it always slips away
Every time I open up
This book of mine
I always find
It's all lost, it's all gone
No thanks to the endless loop of
Apathy, perpetually
Tearing up the pages of
My feelings to nothing
And I can't make it stop
A melody
Was effortlessly free
But now I only see
An empty diary
