Open Mic / Closed Casket

not much difference
between a pallbearer
and a broke musician

carrying around coffins
full of broken dreams
that are as heavy
as dead bodies

setlists look like obituaries
strings stiffen in rigor mortis
in tune
out of breath
down beat
time's up
roots music
code blue
singing corpse
decaying crescendo

dollar in the hat
blood in the basket
open mic
closed casket
