Here is the 6th song for my RPM Challenge 2021. This has got to be one of the weirder songs I have written. It is a combination of dark, ironic, and humorous.
Perfect for my EP called "Darker". Enjoy :) Thanks for listening!!

I started this one first but got stuck in the surrealism of the opening line (it was "He" originally). I really didn't want to give the suntan…
Demo for FAWM ’25. Based off a poisonous plant prompt, which in my case was Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) a plant that to my initial disappoint is the "kid gloves" of deadly plants, traditionally more common for medicinal use than murder, but…
