lyrics

You know I feel the spirit and I’m so glad...
The world can’t do me no harm...


The stolen throne of Sisyphus hath crumbled beneath his feet
Condemned to push a giant boulder borne of his own greed and deceit

A confusing web of conflicting messages massaging our minds mellifluously
New costumes and new concoctions presented ever so felicitously

You know I feel the spirit and I’m so glad...
The world can’t do me no harm...
On a firm foundation of unfortunate fortune where plasticity and pretense abound
With playthings diverting us away from risk until the funereal pomp comes round

The ides of December send us back home again, clay figurines on the ledge
We'll shut the door and get warmed up twice with a maul, sledgehammer and a wedge



You know I feel the spirit and I’m so glad...
The world can’t do me no harm...

But the voices harp on you can't go on you couldn't possibly afford the costs of the trip
Yet the voyage belongs to the wanderers of the world who can't afford not to not fit in

Time creeps across faces and hollows out dreams that blinded all twas misconstrued
Like Sisy the absurd rolling the boulder up the hill without pausing to appreciate the view

You know I feel the spirit and I’m so glad...
The world can’t do me no harm...
Death can’t do me no harm
Death come knocking on my door
World comes flocking
Ships come docking
The earth's a-rocking
Time tick tick tocking
Soul goes a-walking
When death comes knocking on my door

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
