The lights dim to a fade
And I watch the man I love age 
Against a screen of maroon and peach
And he’s somewhere on Miami Beach 
Strumming a guitar 
While I’m driving my car 
Down the only road I’ll ever know 
I passed him by and I didn’t slow 
And they intercepted the pass 
When he tried to grab my ass 
And I throw a glance back in your direction 
Like I am the reason for your insurrection 
Against the powers that be 
And they have me 
On a cliff ledge 
What is it that they said 
You’ve gotta be safe 
But I escape 
From their cage 
With shattered glass on the edge of my page
And it still draws blood
Though I proclaim that it’s all good
And I take the meds 
And run from the music in my own head 
That’s writing a symphony 
Should I let the Beethoven in me 
Trample the piano into dust 
And just trust 
Into the free fall 
They only hurt you when they put up a wall 
Between you and freedom 
And they make sure you see them 
They’ve all got their pens 
And I swear I’ll never go back again 
But they can’t write a sonnet like I do 
They don’t know anything about you 
Coz I kept your name a secret 
The room is freezing but you heat it 
With your furnace flame
And you can take the blame 
I’ll take the trophy wife 
And we’ll split the bill til it’s even twice
