I could live a life through music
sitting in a room
feeling my emotions draining through the strings of a guitar

I could live a life through music
never step outside
forget to breathe
imagining a world without it

I could live a life through music
lifted and crushed
but none of it would be enough
I'm so tired now

I could live a life through music
but it wouldn't be long
too quickly I'd waste away
frozen fingers on guitar strings
a melody stuck in my throat
because the exodus would drown me

Sometimes I live my life through music
because I am too sad
and the life I create is short and beautiful

Sometimes I live my life through music
and it makes me mad
because I cannot live my life as perfectly
as I do
through music
