The Skeleton King

So much easier than making chiptune lol.
This week I just wanted to play guitar and bass so I wrote a dumb little song and tacked on a totally unnecessary improv guitar solo. I meant to add some more proper percussion but didn't get around to it. Oh well. Was fun any way.
I used to record lots of weird songs like this before I had kids. It's hard to find time to record real instruments. They're either making lots of noises the mics pick up or they're asleep and I'm trying not to make too much noise lol. In fact, you can hear my kids a time or two haha. They were picked up during an acoustic guitar or vocal take and I just left it in there.
The skeleton king
is following me
says he wants
to set my bones free
he says skin
is a fleeting thing
so why not tear it off and leave it
he's always right behind my back
I glimpsed him in a photograph
mouth wide open in a soundless laugh
The skeleton king
wants to recruit
you for his
skeleton army too
clawing at the door
terrified screams
at least skeletons
don't have bad dreams
