They Say Music Saved Our Life
Hum my secrets inside of every song
Hallelujah my way to hell
Just send me off with notes and melodies
Off with secrets I'll never tell
The thing I need the most is this:
Piano keys and a soothing voice
Of course, I should say air or water
But reason was never my first choice
I fill my mind with harmonies
Think only of lyric and rhythm
I love music- can't you tell?
I love the way it keeps me hidden
You laugh and scoff at my tranquility
It's drowned out by my volume
Was that a smirk? Perhaps a joke…
Just let me remain this solemn
How can one not notice this escape?
I hear music every day!
I look at scenes that become songs
Inside this mind that's painted grey
The soundtrack to my life is death
It emphasizes life
A symphony that keeps blood in my veins
An orchestra of teenage strife
Vow to never leave me
In ear buds, play the part
A chord struck right will be our promise
And "May nothing but death do us part"
My eyes are nothing more than stage lights
Till the concert in my mind runs out
Tonight, though, I'll make it last forever
Do not worry, do not pout
You, me- the music makes three
It's as alive as I am alone
I promise to stay with this song
To sing in a happier tone
The question was simple but the answer can't be
I paint the page with honest words
And perhaps you'll judge or say I lied
Accusations drown in dusty records
What do I need or find therapeutic?
Too easy, I answer. All I need is music.
