Overgrown Piano

I've been trying to forget about you
But the big purple clouds in the sky highlight every bruise
As I walk round Columbus Circle
I remember every stupid thing you said
But I guess you thought you owned me like a loaf of bread

I feel like an out of tune piano
I'm worn out, dusty, broke down
I feel like an overturned piano
I'm smashed in and stepped on
You're like some kind of overgrown piano
Reaching out your tentacles to me
To pull me like a serpent into the the sea

I've been worried about the weather
I've boarded up and strapped down everything I own
I haven't had two nickels to rub together
In the five years since you let me go
Just one angry promise is all I have left to show

This feels like an unsavory fixation
Like a little girl who keeps sticking needles into her pets
But I've got a tired imagination
And I'm ready now to let the last spark die
What's the point of struggling against these clouds in the sky

I've been trying to forget about you
But the big purple clouds in the sky highlight every bruise
As I walk round Columbus CircleI remember every stupid thing you said
But I guess you owned me like a loaf of bread
Yeah. I guess you owned me like a loaf of bread
