Skirmish: Sharp Objects (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
#singersongwriter #guitar #vocal #skirmish Saw this Skirmish prompt and thought I'd try this approach... seems like it's getting more and more common in my life, lately. The dread senior moment...
Lyrics
Guess I Ain’t That Sharp
It’s happenin’ more, who’s keeping score, seems like every day... I get a brilliant thought or two, then they go away. Could be a stage, could be my age, not sure just how to start... For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp!
Chorus: I guess I’m living in a brand new phase... One, that’s not unique to only me. Seems it could be a brand new craze... One I don’t embrace with too much glee.
What can I say, it’s not my day, feelin’ kinda dumb... Staring in the fridge, I say, choices pretty glum. Came in this room, a thing to do, I knew it would be smart... But here’s the threat, I forget, I guess I ain’t that sharp!
Chorus: I guess I’m living in a brand new phase... One, that’s not unique to only me. Seems it could be a brand new craze... One I don’t embrace with too much glee.
It’s happenin’ more, who’s keeping score, seems like every day... I get a brilliant thought or two, then they go away. Could be a stage, could be my age, not sure just how to start... For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp! For the life of me, I can’t see, I guess I ain’t that sharp!

Wow, this is in original take on the prompt that I hadn't thought of (and I should have, as I'm gettin' up there!). Nicely played and sung. A really good flow to your lyric and how it sits so well in your song melodically. I had to smile as I relate so much to this!

Got a good chuckle out of this one! Great job! You must still be at least a little sharp!

Had to hear another of your songs - and I feel you! I walk into rooms, or open the fridge, and then spend a few moments trying to remember why I'm there. And that happens almost daily! Again you sound awesome - I'd love to see and hear you in a tavern or coffeehouse.
