I live a still life,
Plastered to canvas, chained there
I live an ill life,
My colors fading away

Struggling to flutter away but death hugs me tight
While ambrosia dances around me
And felicity sings, a proud bird
Swooping between gales
Now I am forced to cling here,
I'm trapped, a creature stiff in an orb of sap
And my heartbeat is barely tapping my life's rhythm
I am only a pretty mummy on display
Muffled by the tapes binding me
I am brittle as paper, weaker than I appear
I live a still life,
Stuck in the dewdrop of a memory
