A Requiem for the Sons of Harmony - Worthwhile

Fingertips on piano keys

This head thinks, this heart sings

First I deadened the sounds

Dissected music like a corpse

Proved harmony methodically

Then did I dare bring it to life with my creative fantasy

I started to compose, but quietly, until I finally reached into infinity

Glory smiled on me in the hearts of men I found some resonance

Enchanting notes, eternal harmonies

Tenths and Sixths and Major lifts

But I envy deeply

A requiem for the sons of harmony

The fortune of Mozart is burning me violently

I cannot write, laugh, or sleep knowing he’s better off than me

I slipped Poison, the world’s too small for our songs and us too

If I cannot be the greatest, neither will you

Rejoice with those who rejoice

Weep with those who weep

May your music rise to fame and the crowds forget your name

Live your own life, die your own death
