Alas, another demo. This one concerns my favorite little severe-faced goblin. August puts us at two-thirds of the way through the project. It's actually coming out a lot differently than I'd imagined in January. As usual the summer gets hectic, even in times such as these when I should be locked in the house tapping a keyboard, guitar-in-lap. Instead, I tempt fate with my deadlines, waiting for inspiration to strike before I try to put pen to paper or pick to string or finger to key. When it doesn't, I find it where I left it - at the page or at the instrument.
lyrics
The beast she looks at me through the window of her soul
A lady trapped inside a canine old man made of coal
She haunts me
She haunts me
Her sturgeon eyes will suck the life from every room
Like a grotesque carved into the corner of a tomb
She haunts me
She haunts me
The beast she follows me to summon up the post
She stands just out of reach like some eternal ghost
She haunts me
She haunts me
And when she traps me in the throw
I find the only way to go
And when she heads me at the pass
I find my time has come at last
And when sheโs waiting watching wondering how long
She will announce herself like the banging of a gong
She haunts me
She haunts me
I find her lying on the hill she made her own
A tingle climbs my spine and chills me to the bone
She haunts me
She haunts me
She haunts me
She haunts me
