The Piano

from The Green Eyed by Daisy Chapman

/

about

This was the first song I wrote for The Green Eyed. I went through a massive 'dry patch' in writing. My piano literally served as a clothes horse this time, hidden from view so it wouldn't taunt me with it's lack of use.

I couldn't get inspiration or any creative ideas. This one eventually came to me, so its lyrical content had to be about writer's block - the outro representing the arrival of an idea, building and building.

lyrics

Spent some time alone researching wisdom
To perform your exorcism
Not to free the demons from this shattered heart
But to free the God who's promise fell apart.

The piano lies beneath your clothes
Instead of offering accompaniment for my prose
Rigamortis, cartoon smiles
Are all that I have now, for this song unsung.

Took a walk today, embrace the silence
But all that greeted me was the void of your presence
Rain clawing at my skin like a newly gravelled road
Unmasking the solitute of creative uninspired.
