take the edge off

I'd like to have a piano,  to take the edge off.
I don't even know how to play the piano. But it takes the edge off.
Nothing takes the edge off like a good piece of piano. Or a bad piece of piano. I am at large irrelevant to the concept of a piano. I don't judge. It just takes the edge off. It always does. And I find that it takes the edge off, better than any other thing I've tried.
Go get your self a piano today. And play some ugly music.
