Hey, I am Bone Angel, and I do what is probably best described as Alt-Folk. I'm a one man production (like Nine Inch Nails) and mostly its just me and my guitar and occasionally some other instruments. More of a songwriter, but I thought I'd post this stuff up to see if it's any good. I'm still working on the technical aspects of my music, so I apologize in advance if they aren't the best mp3s.

Lyrics
Ordinary Man W.C. Morgan He sits by the window, a sad look on his face. He’s staring at the people from his station off in space. His neck bears a crucifix; arms broke off in a fight Now loving Jesus has no arms to hold his lamb tonight The ordinary man has no more tears to shed He makes no more wishes; they stay locked inside his head The ordinary man has nothing left to say He’s learned another language; his voice is in his gaze. The voices from the bedroom are call him again A foot drapes off the tombstones inviting him to sin Yelling out obscenities, the ghosts pine after him Desire and pain are screaming through their damaged skins. CHORUS He’s an institution a statue, blood and bone He’s a convolution, his purpose is not known He hasn’t moved in ages, just looks down from above His face appears so innocent, but his eyes are filled with blood. CHORUS Mother Goose once told him, the truth is in the rhyme The song is just the logic, the teacher keeping time But he’s found wordless rhythms, and bloodstained harmonies His ancient voice is singing of our anarchy.
