Tarnished from Reptile Dysfunction by Tony Castellano

Sometimes composing is easy and sometimes it's not. This time it most certainly was not. I came up with the main 'A' section fairly quickly, and the demo sounded great repeating it over and over, but I just couldn't figure out how to break out of it into another section, and it definitely needed one. Finally I just did what I often do: I took another unfinished song fragment (with the working title of 'Blanked') and after some key and time signature changes it became the 'B' and 'C' sections.
