Still, Life

There's a bowl of fruit going soft

on the sill

and the light comes in exactly like it did then,

still

nothing's moved in this house,

nothing's changed

except everyone in the photograph has a different name now

Still life, still life

the room remembers more than I do still life,

still life (mmm)

I'm the only thing in frame that's new

I rearranged the flowers,

I dusted the frame I

even left the window open just the same

but you can't restage a feeling,

no matter the prop

still life just means the moving part finally stopped

Still life, still life (still life)

the room remembers more than I do still life,

still life

I'm the only thing in frame that's new

Still life, still life...

(still

life)
