about

For Spintunes #14, Round 1: "This Place is a Zoo"
The Challenge: "Refer to your pet as your roommate and write a song about what your roommate did today, never mentioning its species in the lyrics. If you don't have a pet, make one up."

lyrics

Silent and Statuesque,
Unblinking eyes, the perfect mask.
But they're not real.
It's all a show.
I know you feel
Because I've seen you grow.

But you don't do anything but drink
Maybe I'm an enabler, but I don't care what the neighbors think
You just sit still,
and I'll refill,
I'll keep you from the Brink.
You don't do anything but drink.

Every day, you're even more
unkempt than the day before
You're seated seated (seeded) now,
and there you'll stay
without a bow (bough)
it's just your way

You don't do anything but drink
Maybe I'm an enabler, but I don't care what the neighbors think
You just sit still,
and I'll refill,
I'll keep you from the Brink.
You don't do anything but drink.

If it weren't for your drinking,
I wouldn't know you were alive.
Drink it in, start thinking
is this what it means to thrive?

I don't know what you're trying to prove
I've never even seen you move
completely still
or very slow
I've got the will
your way to grow

But you don't do anything but drink
Maybe I'm an enabler, but I don't care what the neighbors think
You just sit still,
and I'll refill,
I'll keep you from the Brink.
You don't do anything but drink.

You don't do anything but drink.
You don't do anything but drink.
