Her eyes are filled with wonder
hearts a floating fire
her mind has cracked with thunder
thoughts are running wild
caught up in a daydream
she hates the way the days seem
to come and go
with no control
of how or who or what to do
or where to go or who to be
mad as hell, society
crazy
lazy
hazy
lay back down,
daydream.

black is the rain cold on your skin
the merciless storm
that's brewing within
being knocked down by the strongest of winds
after you've just learned how to stand up again

its holding his hand, then letting it go
its him moving on, when you're going slow

black is saying goodbye, for the last time
the look in their eyes as you stand there and cry

its secretly dying inside
closing your eyes
trying to hide
never welcoming the light

black is being unable to see any relief
them watching, uncaring, as you openly bleed
dying of thirst
without the water you need
its planting a rose,
and getting a ****

Now that I've got your attention,
Did I forget to mention?;
I dance with the devil;
We meet at midnight, and dance until sunrise
Around a blazing fire
In the fire we throw
The past
We let it go
when he calls I don't say no
something about dancing with fire
awakens your soul
naturally though, you lose control
you let your inhibitions go
see your desire, raging in the fire
and you'll dance, you'll dance
to a tune of
heartbreak and emotion,
until the flames light up your veins
were told the devil's bad news
perhaps he just reveals you to
the truth
the painful, the bitter,
listen you've got to consider
where does the devil reside?
In the mind.
but when you're no longer dancing
your bodys blazing with passion
you will never stop asking
when the next dance is

I was invited to jive
with the most dangerous being alive
but nowhere did I sign
instead of losing, it was myself I did find
because the music and the monster and the fire
revealed me to my own desire
took me into a journey into my own mind
to see.. that my own devil was me
when you lay blame outwards, you are blind

for the life of me I cannot find
a way to lock them away inside
they creep below the surface
I'm sure they serve a purpose
the purpose that I can't find
so within my myself i hide
buried deep inside my pride
the places where my past resides
in the deepest corners of my mind
one day i'll figure out
how to leave it all behind
leave in the past all of my doubt
and extinguish the fear of striking out

I'm trying to unlock this door
but where's the key to happiness?
I'm just lying broken on this floor
and waiting for the pain to end;
but badly bruised and beaten down,
I've locked out my only friends.
I've tried so hard to look within
and find out how to make amends
but this **** door won't let them in
so I'm lying here again

You've laced all of my passion with doubt
These memories were short but loud as hell
Now I'm trapped in my thoughts with no way out
and whenever I see you out, I can tell-
that I gave you a piece of me
I couldn't afford to give so freely
the waves are high and I can't breathe
now the shores disappearing and I cannot see
Tell me, does your memory
float around to thoughts of me?

You can't escape the tide
when the waves are getting high
You can't escape your mind
when you're locked away inside
you can't tell if you're far, halfway, or almost through
what is there
what is there to do?
