Play On

(album: So Loud - 2023)

Oh God, what have I become?
Just a shell of a man inside a loaded gun
At square one, again it has begun
I can't believe the things I've done

But I believe that I will find
A place between the lines

If music be the fruit of love, play on
If life's a stage then don't be afraid to play in perfect songs
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on

Deep breath, the queen against the pawn
Lights dim but how could I go on?
Don't stop it, you're gonna make it
Eyes closed and your hand is shaking
Let go, the worst part is over now

If music be the fruit of love, play on
If life's a stage then don't be afraid to play in perfect songs
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on

There's a verse in my head and I can't get it out
It deafens my thoughts as it talks with my doubts
Whispering all the things that I don't wanna hear about
(You'll never make it out alive)
There's a shadow I see through the crack in the door
But for each step back I'll take two forward
Somehow I know that I'll survive

If music be the fruit of love, play on
If life's a stage then sing your favorite song

If music be the fruit of love, play on
If life's a stage then don't be afraid to play in perfect songs
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on
