STILL LIFE

Sell yourself away

A product of imagination

The big show for today

A blade that cuts or the cost of giving…less

Seven times come true; seven times for you

Now life’s standing in the way

A bucket of piss for you to play

A thought of reaching for the knife

A crack in your still life

Promise me the sun

Promise me the way it was

Promise me the sea

Always, always

Tell yourself to stay

A totem for disintegration

Ashes pave the way

No fire inside nor a life worth living…more

Everything’s the same; everything’s a shame

Now the body meets the rain

A colder camp for you to crave

A thought of reaching for the knife

A crack in your still life

Promise me the stars

Promise what we had before

Promise me the dream

Always, always

Remnants of a still life

Casting shadows without insight

Will you come and turn around

To face that part of me?

And if you have the foresight

To break these chains with crossfire

I’ll be there to lead your way and take you by the hand

Promise me the sun

Promise me the way it was

Promise me the sea

Always, always

And to give all I have to give

And to know no matter where we go

Each day brings a brand new path

The still road will be taken last

I know, I know
