lyrics

I stood at the funeral
in rooms from her mind
and no one was dancing
to no one’s surprise
ill make you an offer
some music for life

I'm concerned with my performance
I'm concerned with me performance

the man at the table
has just lost his wife
his foreheads an office
his guilt is a tribe
he won't eat your heart yet
but he's built to survive

I’m concerned with my performance
I'm concerned with my performance
oh everyone’s telling
with what they're not telling you
who they would like you to be

the theatre is changing
the stage is a wall
the patrons are glittering
in spite of the fall
and everyone’s crying
but I can't at all

I'm concerned with my performance
I'm concerned with my performance
oh everyone’s telling with what they're not telling you
who they would like you to be

somewhere you
told me to
be a person alone
and said it with
words of true
care and stone
I keep on walking by my own
now I know you
tell me something
contradictory
candid fiction-ry
no one knows how
they should really be
the writing’s all around
oh oh oh
the writing’s all around

back at the piano
I should say I'm the best
then would you listen?
would I pass your test?
I’ll give you my vision
will you give me rest?

I’m concerned with me performance
yes I am
concerned with my performance
all the time
concerned with my performance

Christopher Sears New York, New York

I like to play music because something happens to me and people and time and space and pain when I play music that makes me feel like I am at the theatre and also running to catch a ball and also that I am allowed to be here. That actually, its really good that Im here. I understand through song. ... more
