Windows to the Soulless

NSFW Skirmish: Window shopping (@nancyrost)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Once again tried to write a song for a skirmish but I can't concentrate and this is as far as I got. Not sure if what it needs next is another verse or a rap but either way I got nothing right now.

Some kind of #metal probably?

Also I do have a melody for the chorus but not the rest of it yet.

Edit: Updated to add a rap but it still needs something. More verses probably. #rapmetal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Window shopping for a life to live But the tank's wide open and the tires won't give Down on skid row we slidin' Hidin' nothing behind our eyes

[Verse 2] The windows to the soul are always open But it always takes a lot of cash to get one Should I smash them Take my life back Wonder what it's worth in the pawn shop

[Chorus] Souls bought and sold Unwrapped and folded up in pockets Exchange of gold for empty heads and empty sockets This black hole is the soulless

[Rap] When you cut me, I do not bleed I'm like a corpse you've forgotten to feed I'm like the horse at the back of the pack Ready to stack On the pyre Watch me burn black There's nothing here, I'm like skin and no bones I'm living on pheromones And spite Like a thief in the night with no luck like A hollow doll, like a dead man's float decoy duck, I Stood behind the door when they were passing the buck And now I can't even say I'm fucked over, Death warmed over, no I'm corpse-cold, frigid, too rigid I'm a Parody of a mannequin, like I said there's nothing inside my skin Pop me like a lead balloon But there's nowhere to go so I'll be there soon Rock bottom, Sodom and Go-no-more-ah Racing to be in last place for the Reckoning of the human race Count me up, do I even add up to an ace? I'm like a zero point one I'm just enough to be an inconvenience And I'm not even sorry for my malfeasance Yeah, I'm gonna keep on keeping on taking up space And you know you can't look past my impassive, placid face Don't bother to give me a shove If you won't give me anything else I am solidly placed I'm at the bottom of the bottom shelf And if the tag on my toe Has long been given to rot "Everything must go" But you know I will not

[Chorus]

[Insert something else]

[Towards the end:] Never had a life never had a soul I'm a black hole This black hole is the soulless

Soulless black hole and empty sockets-total rap metal material!

This is definitely one that feels like it’s going somewhere — I really like the opening couplet. I also love the flow of “Never had a life never had a soul I'm a black hole” in my brain.
