Dancing Plague

Feeling somewhat rotten inside

But not really knowing where it went wrong

Looking into no place to hide

Doing what it takes to go along

Wear whatever face that suits you

The tone of things just elicits nonsense

Lying awake dreaming of few

memories when the stars did align

 

Be whatever has to be you

It is fine to be seeming so bemused

When one's always starting anew

Some things have to bear being used

Stop keeping fingers in your backs

to point on what you don't believe belong

You've really just been losing tracks

And it very well may just be lasting ever long

 

Why yes of course the devil knows !

No way he's sitting out that one

And no matter how the world flows

Try to utter the word that won, I guess ?

Anything that may help soothe the burns

Of being constantly irate

Helpless, unable of concern

Alone and inconsiderate

 

Someone has to be wrong

It's written in the rule of things

Cannot keep up, on time for long

Until the end it will pull on your strings

You stole your own soul

Please bring back one when you're finished

Orbiting near the monopole

Finding out that every thing vanished
