Here's a song I wrote from a photograph on a pinterest board just yesterday. I like how it turned out.

Eyes stare at me
See through my skin
I feel transparent
In this hell I'm in

Vultures fly around
They pick clean my bones
Sifting through the carnage
They won't leave me alone

And the threadbare attack
It uncovers me
The weight upon m y back
Will demolish me
And I don't know
What I've become
I don't know
But I've come undone

I take a look around
No-one meets my eyes
It seems the mortal flesh
Is an effective disguise

Love will slowly fade
Like waking from a dream
Losing half-wrought memories
From the in between

And the threadbare attack
It uncovers me
The weight upon m y back
Will demolish me
And I don't know
What I've become
I don't know
But I've come undone

And I don't know
What I've become
I don't know
But I've come undone

Nicely done T.C.! The wide spread acoustic sounds great as do the vocals. That's quite a good lyric that you've pulled from the freaky photo. Well done all around!

The photo and the song fit together like a glove hard thing to do if you just saw the pic loving the acoustic on this song and the vocal are great too

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

I'm with Mike...loved this. The sound of the acoustics is GREAT. Freaky pic but lyrics are on it like verbal clothes.
Excellent vocals. This is a grower as the melody is powerful. Instrumental minimalism matches the theme. Ace!

Wow, what a fantastic vocal. Great production too. Weird photo BTW; she looks a bit anorexic.

Great storytelling and awesome vocals. Very nice mix and arrangement as well

That should have been twice as long. Very inspiring.
Nicely done, it fired me up.
