Bare stage
Just a piano
Vocal chords and
strings
Keyboards and fingers
Against the night.
Maybe this time a
manic-depressive songwriting musician can make
it
for a while.
Thorazine and
nightwalks
White-walled memories.
Music schools and uptight
bars
Dentist drill and
everyone, far away
They try to comfort me
When all I want is
That cold dark room:
Piano and me.
