Official music video for "All My Fault" by World of Dust. This is the 2023 LOFI re-imagining of "Read in the Dark", the lead track from the 2009 album "Obey". Video created with DALL-E, NightCafe, and InceptionV3. Audio recorded using Ardour and mastered with LANDR. -- LYRICS -- When I woke up this morning what assumptions did I make? What did I take for granted, what mistake has sealed my fate? Our world is so fragile baby, what precautions should I take? And do I have the right sort of angel locked up in my safe? Can you read in the dark? Can you read in the dark? Nothing learned, nothing left, and It's all my fault I got a couple bookshelves but they're full of useless stuff I can program static RAM and some other worthless junk Can't make pen or paper so don't know how to write a book Don't know how to refine copper, don't even know how to cook (Can you read in the dark?) Can you read in the dark? Can you read in the dark? Nothing learned, nothing left, and It's all my fault Nothing seems to worry me 'cause I'm blind to large and small If it wasn't for the farmer's market I wouldn't eat at all But they're so greedy, hateful, and evil, gotta steal some of their dough Now nothing seems to get me something, so nothing's all I know Can you read in the dark? Can you read in the dark? Nothing learned, nothing left, and It's all my fault It's all my fault

Don't know him anymore Ask his son if he's living or where he's gone I may be looking but don't notice it at all They can tell me anything they want Financed with promises, well there's promises for all But there's always more money for the war Firing squads hold their hands up, it's not their fault at all But looking back brought something else along Duress in, duress out - the same self serving cause But don't mind me, I can't see at all Cause I don't know now what I knew then well I don't recall at all Duress only walked with me so far Propped up by bullets but in the end must fall There's always more bodies for the wall Don't really remember, well I can't think at all But I won't stop living every day Never saw; we live so well and now we waste it all Lord of mine fix me along the way Don't really notice it in any way at all They've learned nothing so the city burn it all They don't mind - it's just fine there, they don't recall at all There's always more bodies for the wall Yeah there's always more money for the war
