Play us a Song

Struggling between the facts and fiction, I'm alone
But I'm alive
Everyone around me is trying to make a statement
Then there's me,
I'm just trying to survive.

Some day I'm gonna find it,

I wished I knew what i was looking for
inside the disarray
I woke up this morning, don't know where I'm going but it's
Alright I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Play us a song!"

"Tinkle your ivories!"

No, but not today, not tonight, not for now.

Until I get it fixed, the piano, it's broken for now.

But i will get it up again, give it time, and I will play you a song.

"Play us a tune!"

"Raise a melody!"

No, probably not today, not tonight, not this moment.

i have the tune, I have a sense of where I am headed for.

Yet it must wait, but, if you can wait, i will play you a song.
