Painting by Original Worlds (Ira Robinson)
This image has been going around as a prompt and it finally struck a chord… so I wrote a rap. Then made it techno.

Lyrics
[intro] Yeah, watch these peepers little boy. [verse][female rapper; rapping] I'm standing in the soft light while you do your dirty deeds. Watch those grubby hands take everything that hunger in you needs. You think you're mighty clever, you ain't never gettin' caught. But my name's Lady Vespa, and your soul's the one I bought. I take a little tithing, make the ache inside you grow. But don't call me a demon. Boy, you reap the hurt you sow. Take a step into the darkness, and you might feel my sting. Just one more, one more, ONE MORE and oops! You lost everything. [chorus][male harmonies] Golden eyes in the shadows watching everything you do All the lies that you tell yourself are never coming true You can't hide from those peepers, they see everywhere you go Don't deny the truth your darkest heart wants you to know [post-chorus][soulful] Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes! Watching you out in the pitch Walk it back, guard your soul Boy that sting gonna make you itch. [bass drop][melodic techno arpeggio] (Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes) (Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes) Yeah, watch these peepers little boy. [verse][female rapper; rapping] If you think you get a pass 'cause no one can pin you down I'm here to tell you sugar, I'll turn you into a clown I sting and sting and sting, and you can't do a god damn thing Feeding feeding feeding, but that hurt won't stop repeating All your victims rise and find you, in the filth they finally grind you Lists and dockets pile upon you, in that cage they finally bind you I'm standing in the soft light while you sit there on your knees Watch those grubby hands hold anything that hunger in you needs. [chorus][male harmonies] Golden eyes in the shadows watching everything you do All the lies that you tell yourself are never coming true You can't hide from those peepers, they see everywhere you go Don't deny the truth your darkest heart wants you to know [post-chorus][soulful] Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes! Watching you out in the pitch Walk it back, guard your soul Boy that sting gonna make you itch. [break] [outro] Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes Golden eyes, yeah Golden eyes Golden eyes
