Only Music

The walls are closing way too tight

Shadows eat away the night

No faces left to call my own

Music's here I'm not alone

No voices warm no hands to hold

The world is quiet hard and cold

But chords unfold inside my mind

With every note I'm redefined

Only music keeps me breathing keeps me whole

Drowns the sorrow in the corners of my soul

No people no friends no family near

This melody's the only thing I hear

Every tear it hits the floor

But the strings are knocking at my door

A minor whispers soft relief

Through the lyrics I find belief

I see no way to heal the pain

Lost in the fog of my own rain

But every rhythm every beat

Gives my escape from life's defeat

Only music keeps me breathing keeps me whole

Drowns the sorrow in the corners of my soul

No people no friends no family near

This melody's the only thing I hear
