Listen

Play me those chords
The ones that sound so sweet to my ear
The ones that draw tears
Play me those notes
That dance on the stars
The ones that can't be held back by hate and lies
Play for me the songs that sing in your heart
Connect them with the keys
Push them the right way I know you can
Play their buttons
Please I beg you,
Play their buttons make them do as you will
Show me it's not just me,
Who bends to your touch
Show me something more
Than this feeling, that I'm just like a song
Tell me I'm more than the echo of my heart beat
More than the scream as more chords are pushed
I loved your music
I loved your sound
I loved that melody, and the rhythm
I adored everything that spoke, of the music in my heart
The music that soared across miles and miles and wires and wires
That flowed into my ears
Now every press every chords a pain
Everyone of them
Breaks off a new little chunk of my heart
Everyone of them is a pain and a tare into my skin
Everyone one of them, is echoed with the sound of the my tears slipping out
Play me the music that makes me dance,
Play me the song that makes me scream,
That makes me smile
So I can feel something new please,
So that I don't die.
This goodbye, isn't one I can handle
I'm wrapped around the piano, my soul held in it's heart
Playing it plays me, but you knew that when I told you my dreams didn't you/
It plays me, when you touch it, but I can't have that.
So to stop my soul, I tell you good bye, and walk away.
Step away from the piano, and feel pain with every step I take
A chord with every word,
Because I'll walk away from this, and you, as you did from me
But the imprint is lasting, and I'll think of it with every step I take.
---------------------------------------------------------

Play me a tune, that rings in my ears.
That hums threw my bones and sinks into my teeth
Play me the tune that sounds like a sigh
Play me the tune that draws tears to my eyes.
Build me a song, built from chords and tunes.
Notes that can dance, like the stars and the moon.
Play me a song that holds no lies.
Play for me the melody you trapped inside your heart
Connect it with the keys
touch, push, shove, use force on the keys
till the sing your demands.
Please I beg of you, play their buttons and make them do as your will
show it's not just me who bends to your touch.
Show me I'm something more, than another medium for your muse
I'm more than the wind's passing song, 
more than the echo of my heart beat.
More than the scream I give to match your chords.


I was a tool for you to use.
As common as the average flute.
I stained the music with my soul.
I did my part,
I gave to you what you would have stole.
Empty I'm alone.
Yet you may claim it, but I know this music is my own.
