Old Piano from Archipelago by Sway Wild

play the old piano
and bid the bats from the beams
the candles cast their shadows
rain drips through the seams

the fox across the pasture
by the barns painted red
is well rehearsed in deception
in putting things in your head

be careful what you ask for
she might hit you in the nose
her fingers around the slingshot
and she’s got pockets full of stones

have you no idea what you’re fighting for
bones inside you still
sleepin’ on the floor
and you are never goin’ home
you are never goin’ home

if you filled up all your pages
with your colors and your crimes
would you bury them in the backyard
when you’re all out of time

we’re dyin’ in the daydreams
but what is god supposed to do
there’s music in the river
all for the love of you
all for the love of you

have you no idea who you’re gonna be
dust that blinds your eyes
words that help you see
that you are never goin’ home
you are never goin’ home

now we’re as sick as the ocean
frightened so easily
we plunge into the drowning
of our own captivity

had we no idea, sand in hourglass
in this masterpiece
we all come to pass
and we are on our way home
we are on our way home

and i see you now
i see you now
i see you now
see you now
