piano stairs – there is an ache lyrics

this is a dark place, but i will not stay here forever

i am watching my heart pound through my chest and wondering if that heart beats harder than others
as if my body is a ticking bomb that was created as a joke and when it goes off no one will see the humor in it anyway
little ripples in an imperfectly shaped body, a warning that something else is coming
i watch it and sink into surrender, laying there, waiting for the ache to go away
there is a darkness within us, and one ache replaces another

there is an ache in the heart of a mother holding her newborn baby with a love so strong it hurts
there is an ache when a spouse goes from unforgettable, to unf+ckable, to unlovable
there is an ache in the stomach of both the faithful and the unfaithful when t++th sinks into skin on the business trip and there are people being hurt at home

there is an ache in the parents of the graduate that moves away to become a doctor, and also in the parents of the immigrant children corralled so the parents of the graduate can feel safe when they go to their f+cking tailgate parties

there is an ache behind the books that people listen to while they drive, and there is an ache in the songs in studios that people are just going to listen to on speakers the size of how small you feel when you don’t know if it’s ever going to be worth it

there is an ache in a culture that excuses our own evil while k!lling over the evil of others, we medicate to stop hurting, and that just creates more hurting in the process

our bodies have become collections of vices and a collection with no value takes the sp+ce of all the good things we have inside

we are collecting our tickets so we can finally get the prize that we didn’t get at the arcades when we were children, but now we like our candy prescribed, when we finally get our prize we will realize the tickets were just for things to use to decorate our coffins

i’d rather bring my own bloodstained blanket to drape over the top than use a store+bought excuse for worth, at least mine contains something of my own, something that i owned

this is a dark place, but i will die in the morning light
