Hi all,
This is a my nasty little entry for the "bare bones" comp. Wanted to do something a bit different, so this is entirely written on piano which is a fairly new thing for me.
I've tried to build something unsettling in every way, musically (changes of time signature, uncomfortable chord progressions, fractured drum rhythms and out right dissonance) a challenging arrangement and a creepy lyric. Yet at the same time it is hopefully is seductive, drawing you in so I can get you where I need, to really mess with ya!

Tom.

Naked To The Bone
(T J Boswell)
See all the animals
They're out tonight
They smell the blood that runs through your veins well out of sight
She all the shadows cast
Between the trees
I'll lay you down to sleep on that bed of autumn leaves
Meet me
In the pale moonlight
I want to know all your secrets
You just might,
Be naked to the bone tonight
See all those bluebells
Bowing their heads
They lay a trail for us to where all your fears are shed
See all humanity
All filth and tears
In a descent to hell that'll last a million years
Meet me in the pale moonlight
Hey don't it shimmer so pretty,
On this knife
Meet me
Well out of sight
We're crossing over boundary
Souls alight
And naked to the bone tonight
