Given the assignment, I tried to write this song about a serial killer that meets his last victim; a demon/werewolf-something that ends him.
I was bent on finally using the Ottobit Jr and Enzo pedals for something, finally. I like the initial direction. I have some work to do pulling off a chorus using Dm, Eb, Gb and A for the progression, however.
lyrics
so shy but catching eyes
Playful like a poltergeist
new to town let me show you around
outskirts to a nominal heist
Cool breeze, twilight scene
Shadows stretch out in epiphany
Overgrown like a cold heart
Dilapidated extremes
Wrought iron fence screams
The blissful suspense
Opening An old familiar line
disregard common sense
Let’s go have some fun
See what’s left of this dump
Don’t be scared, know it well
Break you out of that shell
I’m just giving you hell!
It’s ok to feel darkness alight
Hair standing up on your neck
glad to have caught your eye
Moonlight ...
Careful steps to the door
Never know what is crawling
Close your eyes across the floor
Through the foyer you can see
You’re not the first, I’ll be discreet
You might feel a little sting
Essence of this little scheme
Table’s ready like it always is
Shiny metals sharp and free
Nobody’s ever this calm
Give me a minute and you’ll see
I’m just giving you hell!
Anticipation’s got me burning
Let’s break you out of that shell
Catching eyes for a wishing well
...
...
Shaking, sweating like I’ve never seen
Thrown to the floor instantaneously
Eyes light up yellowish-green
Teeth gnashing a sacred scream
Table’s turned now I’m seeing red
Pouring from my soul, preying
Pain piercing prophecies
Leave your lips saying
I’m just giving you hell!
Isn’t that what you want from me?
I’ll take you to eternal doom
You’ll never leave this room
I’m just giving you hell
You took their eyes for a different view
