The Palace of Skeletons

Work on the Skeletons song today, and a second one to follow it. The music interestingly explodes into a chaotic soundscape including a real stereo recording of being inside a beehive, then an explosion and bells. This dies off suddenly into a song about being alone in the universe. The drama and strangeness of this album is unlike anything before, which is good. I need to keep working on the earlier songs, but now the first three sections are complete. I need an ending about unity, joy.

A ballroom in the palace of skeletons I watch you dance and glist The banquet is rotted and bad The starving bones look on with avarice and I look into your empty eyes your gaze seems familiar it is me!
