The Sound of a Wrecked Piano

The Sound of a Wrecked Piano

I’m living in an empty boat
This is my life quote
The boat is surrounded
In holes
In the oceans middle, no where to go
It’s leaking
I’m sinking
Empty promises I was seeking
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is sound of a wrecked piano
Being hurt and time are coinciding
I’m not lying
I’m dying…
But I’m just trying
Apologies, how little they were
The innocent are now sober
Wake up to
Old hurt which pretends to be new
In life I’m living at the end
Shipwrecked, no bottle to send
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is sound of a wrecked piano 
Some days I don’t talk about
Lets just say I was left bruised after coming back from those routes
Pain is my only friend again
And my life is left to bend
My heart is my greatest weakness
It made the wrong wish
I wear my jacket all the time
Because my soul is cold and sour like a lime
Lifted the wrong weights
Carried more and more hate
Grace come in like an angel!
Fill more than hole
But do you think it’s too late
For me to make it to those shiny gates
Then I realize you can’t calm my storm, I suffered my fate
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is the living wrecked piano
