Maestro
You ask me this question
and I fire back, Why?
If you knew me
you'd know this
So don't ask me to lie.
I'm not like other kids
who want friends or family.
I'm not like other kids
who love their own body.
I'm not like other kids
who have a damn life!
I'm a musician
a poet
a lover of the arts.
My brains keep me alive
in this elaborate farce.
Left out, cast out, made to be alone,
It's my music that holds me and warms my bones.
Without it be gone,
whisked into "normality".
But I plan to rise,
away from this brutality.
God, can't you see me?
I'm beaten and broken
but I still get up.
If you still don't know
take a drink from my cup.
Music keeps me sane
so don't question my song.
In a few years your major key will go all wrong,
Twists and turns turn sharp or flat
you never cared about the meaning of that.
Life is a song, so make it your own
A verse, a chorus, a rocking bridge
Get your eyes out of that goddam phone!
You miss so much of life that way.
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
The chords, melodies, harmonies of life
missed by your electronic knife.
Life is more than sex and money
don't you want someone to call you Honey?
If you still don't get it
let me spell it out.
Or maybe I won't
I see your doubt.
But when the world goes to hell
I'll ring the bell.
This is my stage
and I'll play as I please.
I don't want your
blinding disease.
This life is precious, so believe it true
And take some time for music too.
Your life's a melody
each chapter a verse.
Your friends bring harmony,
but then it gets worse.
Music needs tension
it'll soon release
I forgot to mention
you're in a major key.
Sing your song strong
It'll all be well
You never know how lon–
No, that's right
our time isn't indefinite.
So sing, play, laugh, live, LOVE
with all your might.
Dont hurt, don't cry
you all have something great.
You're all so much more than society's bait.
Do you see now
why this is so much more?
This is my lifeblood,
my center, my core.
I'm not living your lie
As long as I have music
I know I'll never die.
