Hey there, Steemit! For Open Mic Week 50, I am trying something new and doing an ORIGINAL SONG!!! I wrote this song back in 2012 (I think) and I always pinned it as one of my favorites. Though it may be a little demented, a lot of my original songs are. At the time I wrote this, I was listening to a lot of Psychobilly and Horrorbilly music along with a lot of folk artists. I like when a song tells a story and I feel like this one definitely does. A short description is in the beginning of the video. This is my psycho-folk style. Lyrics are also included!!!!
(Yes I am wearing a Metallica shirt.... I honestly love Metallica and have been listening to them since birth)
Anyway, here are the lyrics:
Through the darkness, through the trees
For solace I must go...
Draped by shadows, wicked webs
Where the moon flowers like to grow.
Walking silently over the brook
I can feel the stepping stones...
A rapid glance in all directions
To see that I'm all alone...
But I know that I'm not alone.
I'll never be alone...
Your ghost... still lingers on...
Winding down this crooked trail
The brush begins to breed...
Without proper care, they've overgrown...
Their thorns tearing at me...
But I know that I'm not alone.
In this garden of bones
Where your ghost... still lingers on...
I've walked for miles to find her...
Deep in the woods where I left her.
When my demons drag me down below...
Then the bone garden, I'll call my home...
I like to sit and take it in...
The treasures I have stolen.
To my dismay, the rot and decay
Is a calming sort of burden...
The stones I've placed upon the graves
A comfort to me now...
Your ghost, a haunting companion
I've learned to love somehow...
But I'll never be alone...
In this garden of bones...
Where your ghost... still lingers on...
I've walked for miles to find her
Deep in the woods where I left her...
When my demons drag me down below
Then the bone garden, I'll call my home.
And I've walked for miles to find her...
Deep in the woods where I left her.
When my demons drag me down below
Then the bone garden, I'll call my home.
With a gravestone of my very own...
In the bone garden....
You're never alone...
Thank you so much for watching! And also a big shout out to @luzcypher for hosting the open mic!!!!
