I'm All In

When the piano fell out of tune
Suddenly I'm questioning my muse
While the dust starts settling in a quiet house
It's been ages since I played for you

Now I don't care to write a story just to cry
Or perform as everlasting when the fire dies
Call it a fall from grace or looking stillness in the face
It doesn't have to ache

So when I ask and there's no answer
But to meet the infinite silence as I wait
In the dark - well I'm all in
Suspended now with no certainty to save

And it doesn't have to ache

When the E-string broke in the middle of the night
My uncertainty begged me not to lie
And as I gave my voice to question, the gate's been open ever since
Will the answer come back in time?

Now I float like a feather, with nothing to grab
No repel or attraction, no one calling "Come back"
I only feel the ether, but it's a sign I know I'm free
There's nothing now holding me

So when I ask and there's no answer
But to meet the infinite silence as I wait
In the dark - well I'm all in
Suspended now with no certainty to save

I'm all in

And it doesn't have to ache
