Chip the Monk

Just dumped the monk

Out of me foot bath

Chip just came in for a drink

But got confused and now he's snoozing

With the worms and losing body mass

In the grass outside the tomb

Which we used to call

Which we used to call

The neighbors' yard

Oh no

Now we call it

Nothing but forgotten

Overgrown, broken

And rotting from the inside out

So it's repurposed for the lifeless

As a gateway for the righteous

To ascend at last

To ascend at last

The dust and ash

Will carry on

So rest your head my friend

And you'll return

As leaves and grass and ferns

So reach towards the sun

And burn

To ascend at last
