Dancing With The Darkness
(Verse One)
Boom, clash
Sounds in the night
I wonder what it is
That is causing me a fright
I go out and look
To see what it might be
It's just a broken mirror
That is staring back at me
I have a shadow
It's creeping from behind
It will not go away
When I'm trying to unwind
These demons never sleep
Always leaving me awake
I can't seem
To catch a fucking break
Life is hard
The night is so much harder
I don't want to go
We are going so much farther
I'm scared of the dark
And what lurks deep inside
What if I find memories
Hidden in my mind
Darkness invites the unknown
I never know what's next
Can I live a normal day
Or will I be under his hex
Wishing on a star
Wishing it would end
There's just no getting better
There is nothing left to mend
(Pre Chorus)
Dancing with the darkness
Always leaves you heartless
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Verse Two)
Boom, clash
Fist against my face
I don't know what I've done
To be this damn disgraced
I need
Something for the pain
And something for my thoughts
These ones are cluttered with decay
I dance with darkness
On a daily basis
I do not have a place
To call my oasis
We're made for each other
He is the perfect lover
But I am not safe
Once we get under the covers
Darkness likes to creep
In the middle of the night
He has sunk his teeth in me
A scar left from his bite
Sometimes it hurts
Other times it feels amazing
Both make my heart flutter
My pulse is quickly raising
I just want a little light
In this world of darkness
This planet's fucking evil
It's so cold and it's so heartless
Slow approach to the end
There won't be an encore
Darkness finally turned on me
I'm falling through the floor
(Pre Chorus)
Dancing with the darkness
Always leaves you heartless
Dancing with the darkness
The cuts are never harmless
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Bridge)
I've signed away my life to dance with the dark
Indents of my old cuts have healed to pastel marks
The darkness takes your life and it puts it in a jar
You can gaze upon it, if you break it you will scar
Darkness is so dominant, I'm just another bitch
He'll punch me in the face and tell me go to get it stitched
If that ever happened I'd surrender in defeat
The darkness and my demons tear my limbs off, start to eat
I'd rather do the dance than end up six feet underground
I'm gonna get there someday, but I'm not quite ready now
Darkness is a drug and it's something that i need
So I'll dance so hard till my feet will start to bleed
