Skirmish, mixed a little heavy. Tried a new rhyme scheme. Had fun with reverb and a strange guitar thing. Had fun, hope you have fun listening.
So tender and prone to destitution
Surrender to to soft created institutions
Remember to seal the resolution
December when the lights go out
Some armor from myself
Possessing a keen awareness
Addressing the vivid unsecuredness
Expressing a quiet mirked finesse
Guessing when the lights go out
Some armor for myself
Patchwork chains and calloused skin
Hidden scars and walls within
Jagged island turmoiled seas
This armor brings me to my knees
The night queen put me in this station
Her dark dream is my situation
Ripped seems ingrained destitution
She gleams when the lights go out

The rhyming scheme works really well in my opinion. The music and vocal performance give me Depeche Mode vibes, especially when you sing in your lower register. Really nice!

Spooky, atmospheric vibe!
Lyrics definitely set the theme.
Love the internal rhymes

I love the juxtaposition of the meditative, almost relaxing music, and the arresting lyrics!

Love the sound on this. The guitar has great tone and that chord change that hums along just gets kind of hypnotic. Solid lyric and well explored through the theme. Well done!

Great idea having the first words rhyming. Good groove to this song. I like it.

great vibe on this! the guitar sound and the computer-y sounds in the background sound great! vocals good too. The rhyme scheme is really different and really works. Good job on this skirmish!

Interesting rhyming scheme. I liked the loose vibe. Oooo....the harmony just came in. Nice "patchwork" section.
