So far, this is my first (good) musical idea this month. There was another earlier one, but it evolved into this. Here is a demo of the guitar part so far. (If there is any trouble with that link, please let me know. I'm new to this particular web-space). Assume for now that the vocals are going to follow closely to the built in lead. A benefit of this melody in this key is that it works well in either of my voices comfortable ranges. I can sing it low, or I can bump it up an octave, and if I push it into a higher harmony, I can break my voice with it.

Words are still not there yet, but I have some ideas. The place-keeper lines that I was throwing in while riffing on this showed some potential. The theme may be a keeper. Basically, I have been trying to write about feeling trapped. By "trapped", I mean the feeling of wanting to fake one's own death and skip the state. I assume that's a normal urge.
