Art Explosion Week 22 Entry - Original Guitar and Voice Piece

This is a piece I've been working on for a few months that just snapped together. It'll probably end up as some sort of opening piece to something longer. The theme for this week of the contest was "vices," and this song is about the worst of them all - the vice of self-destruction.

The lyrics are an intuitive articulation of the struggle with that urge to implosion.
The music was also composed intuitively, with special attention given to following the contour of the imagery over any particular method of form or harmonic organization.
