Piano Song

"I'll take this room".

She's looking to start anew and dispose of her traits,

Washing her hands of tomorrow 'cause she knows it'll be the same.

I'll meet a new face,

One that can show me a trace of a change in me

And smother the shadow that I form

In a blanket of harmony.

I'm a stranger here,

Oh dear,

What now?

She never wanted to be

A leaf on the family tree,

Walking a road that will lead

To a place she has already seen.

So bare, so bold,

She feels the rush of the night

With no baggage to tow

And no sign of a trail behind.

As the roots of your tree

Are relying as ever to feed off what you seek.

How long until the roots break?

The roots break

How long before the shame?

Before the shame

How long until she surrenders to the boy with no name?

I'm a stranger here,

Oh dear,

What now?

She never wanted to be

A leaf on the family tree,

Taking a road that will lead

To a life she had already seen.

With the curtains drawn,

She feels the kick of the night.

With no rogue to hold,

Your unborn's kicking the life

Out of you, as you scream,

Fearing what the night delivers when you sleep.

It has caught you in your dreams,

Well it's caught you in your dreams,

Well it's caught you in your dreams,

Well it's caught you in your dreams,

Well it's caught you in your dreams.
