Hello fellow songwriters,
This is the title track of my latest album. It is a bit more edgy than my usual songs. It isn't about anyone in particular, I just tried to imagine how angry someone would be if their partner royally screwed up their family. All feedback is appreciated.

https://soundcloud.com/alan-walker-4/smoke-and-boneSouth Dakota Wednesday morning
Empty hours dawn is calling
You're weighing heavy on my mind
We said some things that needed saying
But something got broken
Got left behind
I can't take what you're saying
The words you use are too unkind
I can't see where you're walking
Am I going crazy or running blind
Cause you're the daughter of smoke and bone
A liar, deceiver, unbeliever and reaper
Of every bad seed you've ever sown
And every soul you've ever owned
God help you
If we ever meet again
I'll be first to wipe
Away your stain
Out on the plains the grass is moving
Like wind on water across the waves
In the dark a child is crying
Salt tears for the mother
He couldn't find
We built a house, kept out the demons
You burned it down to save your pride
Now I'm standing in the ruins
Watching my life slowly unwind
'Cause you're the daughter of smoke and bone
A liar, deceiver, unbeliever and reaper
Of every bad seed you've ever sown
And every soul you've ever owned
