Thanks to Lilith for sharing this!

It's not a formal album or single release, but a piece of music that ought to be here just the same - it's based on Blue Atom and composed by the same artist, David Ellis / A Lunatic's Daydream.

Description on SoundCloud:

A suite in three parts, set during the Myststuck sequence of Homestuck. Based on a reworking of the Cyan Beast theme.

Lyrics are included in the YouTube description, should be double-checked (e.g. for omitted repeated stanzas):

Home, in this game we play Stunned, then whisked away Staring out into a nightmare Stuck years in the past I stepped through the looking glass And descended to an empty world.

Breaking through from the ground is there still hope Waiting here to be freed Can this world be restored, will it rise up If I planted the seeds Could I bring it back to life?

Those that died, they left behind Cryptic writings to explain Four heroes once were promised Too late, these tablets and fossils All that remains

Breaking through from the ground is there still hope Waiting here to be freed Can this world be restored, will it rise up If I planted the seeds Could I bring it back to life?

We will flood the sky With unearthly light But if every lantern dies Do we all fall down?

Just a wish to sow So I carved our hope Filled it up Then let it go

In a world lighter than air Could a dream that’s lost be healed? The hope I held beside me Took flight as I entered this wasteland Daylight revealed

Buried under the ground, is there no hope Waiting here to be freed? Like this world we'll be dead, will we rise up If I planted the seeds...

When I fall back to sleep and I’m dreaming I’ll look up to the clouds If it’s out there to see, to believe in There’s no reason to doubt

Step out into the world, we’re not homestuck Take the chance to be free ‘Cause this land can’t be dead, we will rise up So I planted the seeds And I’ll bring it back to life.

This was also released on P[S] as the bonus track "Myststuck Suite (Full Version)", as Lilith notes (thanks!). That one's about 10 seconds shorter than the Soundcloud version, so might want to take a look at that.
