Everything Else

Everything Else - Jennifer Damiano

Mozart was crazy

Flat f**king crazy

Batshit I hear

But his music's not crazy

It's balanced it's nimble

It's crystalline clear

There's harmony logic

You listen to these

You don't hear his doubts

Or his debts or disease

You scan through the score

And put fingers on keys

And you play

And everything else goes away

Everything else goes away

And you play 'til it's perfect

You play 'til you ache

You play 'til the strings

Or you fingernails break

So you'll rock that recital

And get into yale

So you won't feel so sick

And you won't look so pale

'Cause you've got your full ride

And your early admit

So you're done with this school

And all of this s**t

And you graduate early

You're gone as of may

And there's nothing your

Paranoid parents can say

And you know that it's just

A sonata away

And you play

And you play

And everything else goes away

Everything else goes away

Everything else goes away
