To the beat of a piano he stole her heart. In the same melody and measure, he broke and left it crumpled - crushed - crescendo. Nothing but brittle - bruised - broken. Out of tune. Missing keys. Mixing tears with toothpaste and listening to a heartrending piano play. Salt and ivory. Colgate and ebony. Repeat. With Rhythm. There are no words to this song. Say something. Silence - fortissimo. Toothpaste and tears trickle down the drain. At the conductor's swift notion - she remembers herself with love - Adagio - Then steps off her tear-stained stage of a soapbox. Al niente.

Tears & Toothpaste
To the beat of a piano he stole her heart. In the same melody and measure, he broke and left it crumpled - crushed - crescendo. Nothing but brittle - bruised - broken. Out of tune. Missing keys. Mixing tears with toothpaste and listening to a heartrending piano play. Salt and ivory. Colgate and ebony. Repeat. With Rhythm. There are no words to this song. Say something. Silence - fortissimo. Toothpaste and tears trickle down the drain. At the conductor's swift notion - she remembers herself with love - Adagio - Then steps off her tear-stained stage of a soapbox. Al niente.
