Still Life

Still life captured on my phone
looks back at footprints in the snow
memories of going nowhere
spending all day there
every day
Don’t want to detain
but explain my train
about like
when a jerky clerk is shirkin’ her work
and her act attracts a pack attack
who claims the blame
who get’s maimed
do you keep your head down
so you don’t get framed
find a work around
find some sand to pound
might be time to drop a dime
and get outta town.
One step then another, brother
can’t resist it sister
joke of the universe
just when you think it can’t get worse
yeah yeah yeah

No Memory
02:36
|

|
people leave their traces
but mine have been erased
like the tree I planted was
cut down while I was away
any roots I may have grown
I no longer own
so my past is gone
never stayed long enough
to feel like I belong
the few friends I had
have all come and gone
failed to keep in touch
didn’t seem to matter much
don’t mind being alone
no right
no wrong
no story
no song
there will be
no memory
my few good deeds will linger
as dew lingers in the sun
a few hours of sparkle
until the morning’s done
but like a river that disappears
into the desert sand
will soon be gone
no right
no wrong
no story
no song
there will be
no legacy
no memory of me

Life is Great
01:56
|

|
Life is just peaches
never mind the pits.
It’s so great to be free
and live by your wits.
Life is always kindly
and never is a bitch.
Walking outside is fun
until you step in shit.
Life is great
so great to be alive
It’s just as great to suffer
as it is to thrive
Doesn’t pay to take it seriously
cause no one survives.
Yeah, life is great.
The physical existence
so full of surprise
the unexpected break
the consolation prize
you may feel lucky one day
next day cut down to size
Life causes us to wonder
and perhaps philosophize.
Life is great
so great to be alive
It’s just as great to suffer
as it is to thrive
Doesn’t pay to take it seriously
cause no one survives.
Yeah, life is great.
