The February Album Writing Month 2022 Week 1 Challenge was a song about a body part. I picked the shoulder. You can cry on it. You can do other things too.
I wish that I could tell you what you mean to me.
I wanna find the words but they don't come easily.
"Friend" is not enough, it's a different kind of energy;
Interwoven minds brought together so tenderly.
Every day I'm grateful that we that we managed to discover
That we're strongest when we pacify and cultivate each other.
You're a legend, I don't know what I did to deserve you
But you know I'll give a talking-to to anyone that hurts you.
Together we're unstoppable, a force beyond control,
'Cuz there's nothing I can't do with your voice inside my soul.
We've been through hell, and we've raised a lot too.
Running hand in hand, I know us two will make it through.
When my life is headed in a dark direction,
The only thing that saves me is our sweet connection.
You always hold me close, try to soothe me when I'm grievin',
But when I rest my head on you I wanna sink my teeth in.
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder.
Mmm, I wanna bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I need to bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder.
Ooh, I need to bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder.
Mmm, I wanna bite that shoulder.
Mmm, I need to bite that shoulder.
Let me be clear, this is not about sex.
What it is is… is… complex.
You know that you're incredible, you know that you're gorgeous.
You're an absolute stunner and we cannot ignore this,
But if we head bedward, I think it's too much,
But it's also not enough with a light and gentle touch.
When the going gets tough, we should get a little rough.
I don't wanna fuck but maybe I can fuck you up?
I'm fucked up and I know it, but that's why we're a match.
We click each other into place when we're both unattached.
We get stupid and reckless and it always excites me.
It's amazing what a shock to the system provides me.
So let's shake things up, let's get nuts, let's get vicious,
'Cuz right now your body's lookin' so delicious.
Let me strike a nerve, send a jolt to your brain,
'Cuz I'm full of despair and I could share a little pain.
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder.
Ungh, let me bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I wanna bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I need to bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I need to bite that shoulder.
Ungh, let me bite that shoulder.
Ungh, I'm gonna bite that shoulder.
Here's the thing, I don't know if this would change us.
We kinda need each other and to mess with that seems dangerous.
I know we're not traditional, we're queer little weirdos.
Wounding our relationship is something that I fear, though.
How do you tell a friend that you really want to bite them?
Come in guns a-blazin'? Hit them like a bolt of lightning?
Would the revelation really be that surprising?
I can't think, 'cuz that shoulder looks so appetizing.
No, this is something that I'm gonna hide,
Just an odd fleeting feeling that I'm gonna keep inside,
'Cuz I've had a shit day and I'm not thinking clearly,
And I can't lose the love from a love that I love so dearly.
I'm really glad that this is all in my head.
If I told you all this bullshit I'd be better off dead.
Good thing I didn't say anything delusional.
Holy fuck, I just gotta bruise something beautiful!
Agh, let me bite that shoulder!
Ungh, I gotta bite that shoulder!
Ungh, I'm gonna bite that shoulder!
Agh, I need to bite that shoulder!
Ungh, I'm gonna bite that shoulder!
Ungh, I need to bite that shoulder!
Agh! Let me bite that shoulder!
AGGGHHH, I'M GONNA BITE THAT SHOULDER!

So goofy and freaky and kind of hot. This is now the official anthem when my cat plays Gently Kill The Hand That Feeds You. This is diabolically catchy. "I'm fucked up and I know it, but that's why we're a match." Genius.

Dude, we've all been there. I feel you, thanks for making this.
The midi guitar at the start made me hngghh. The rapping made me hnggghh again. Then everything clicked and I got what you were doing. The chorus is permastuck in my head now. Lyrics, what it is is… is… complex. But I love it. And I second the shouting at the end, just spectacular. Good job.

The main guitar riff instantly got me interested. I really had fun reading (and of course listening) the lyrics. You managed to make me laugh! I liked your flow and I absolutely loved the shouting in the end. :D All in all, what a great track!
