Still Life -

The basil is arranged with the amber glass

And the eggs, all in perfection

We hold this table it is cold, we hold this mass

Far away from town, a mirror, no reflection

U think u know north-east but we know better

We know the silence, we know the dark

U know the address so u sent that letter

U put ur sympathies, u made ur mark

But u have never been here and u never will

Here where life is still, where we hold tables

The wine is in our glasses now, we take our pills

Now we can look at it, now we are able

We stir the water up, we place it in the front

Then lay our pencils down, sticks within reach

What we wrote on the wall and in our favorite font

Is now to be read up, these words we preach

Grow let it grow in our still life scape

Take what it needs to fullfill

So it will be that we keep these drapes

Let it forever be still

Oh let it show what we did today

How its been passed from our hands

Its in the traces of where we lay

Right here as long as it stands

Theres a freezer in this kitchen but no ice inside

Its a place to hide, whenever needed

We will stay and face the windows we don’t need a ride

All is here tonite, all what we did

The sleeping grass we planted growing slowly

In bowls arranged and numbered up in line

To look and never ever touch the holy

To sit and keep the focus on the shrine

Grow let it grow in our still life scape

Take what it needs to fullfill

So it will be that we keep these drapes

Let it forever be still

Oh let it show what we did today

How its been passed from our hands

Its in the traces of where we lay

Right here as long as it stands
