Liner Notes
#folk #girlwithukulele #acousticonetake
As part of the #badsongclub written and recorded in 30 minutes.
Song prompt: "Stay hungry"
I think this one is also #political given the current situation.
Lyrics
Insatiable Jemma Kline
A caller at the doorstep, a knock upon the door. It’s cold outside; I’m weary to my core. Your hands are like a winter’s kiss, there’s fire in your eyes. My kindness must taste like the sweetest prize.
Your hunger is insatiable. Your power seems complete. And though I cannot put you down, Perhaps I’ll make you leave.
A hundred souls you’ve taken, but I have only one. My life is fading; yours has just begun. I try to fight your presence, though I know I have no chance; You can force your will upon me with a glance.
Your hunger is insatiable. Your power seems complete. And though I cannot put you down, Perhaps I’ll make you leave.
For I know your weakness, know your flaw, I know your secret, I know it all: You cannot stand the simple light of day.
Your hunger is insatiable. Your power seems complete. And though I cannot put you down, I know I’ll make you leave. If I survive to see the light of day.

Woah, if THAT's your idea of a bad song.... Powerful stuff, and I really like that moody fingerpicking uke. This one's for keeping.
Haunting, and an intriguing riddle, although the liner notes do give me some idea. I also like the atmosphere from the fingerpicking.
