Liner Notes

Another take on the prompt, I liked it so much. Jaunty feel but rather dark lyrics?

Lyrics

Dark and mysterious, like a moonless night Hiding round corners, preparing to give fright Nothing too strange, just enough to make you think Did I really see that, or was there something spiking my drink?

Dark and delicious, mystery man Play by your own rules, all part of your plan Trying to fit in by being out there Wondering if anyone really cares

Neglected and forgotten and left on your own Now you’re roaming the streets, relatively unknown Newspaper articles ponder your name They wonder about your ultimate game

Dark and mysterious, will you be caught Through backstreets and alleys, The carnage is wrought All leading to your final finale

Super cool storytelling. Absolutely delicious in the way of showing instead of telling. One of my favs this year.

I like the way the story wanders between the two sides.

I like the character you've written. I personally would have gone with less jaunty music, but this could work ironically. Great that you wrote 2 songs from the prompt!
