Piano Keys
Sitting on the piano bench
Playing music for the crowd
Entertainment for them from me makes
Everything so much fun
Music that used to fill me up
Is nothing more than an aching memory
Of what I used to be
Shattered glass is sprayed out along the keys
As I continue playing they rip up my fingertips
I recognize these shards of glass
As pieces of myself
I must be breaking into pieces
From the past memories that bind me
I have no time to put them back together now
Gotta keep on playing to entertain
This large crowd
All eyes focused on me and see
I'm shattering but pay no mind
The shards keep falling on the keys
Blood leaves a lonely trail behind
Listen to the sweet music I play
It's my soul's lovely suicide
More like a murder my fears committed
Let's sing and dance and have some fun
I'll sit over here and watch while
I play you a song
Don't worry now,my fingers will heal
I can pick up the shattered pieces of me
Although I don't know for sure whether
They'll all form back together perfectly
You see tears glistening on my cheeks?
You must be mistaken
I haven't been able to cry
Since I first took my own life
I'm simply here to watch the encore
And to play the music that goes with it
As this show draws to a close
Allow me to stand at the front of the stage
I bow to all of you and give you this advice
Don't become shattered like me
Or you'll be like my soul and be
Shards of glass on the piano keys.
