You dance with tears in your eyes

They dont see past your peircing lies

and as each one dies

so you continue to rise.

You're playing games

but you arent bothered by fame,

and as you dance in the flames

they cant understand the games you play.

Some nights you dance alone at night

with tears in your eyes,

no music playing

trying to keep your demons at bay

trying to understand what the voices in your head say:

"Keep a place for me in your soul,

Keep a place for me in your heart,

i'll be right there when you fall apart"

You've lived a mild life

you've lived a sad life

"so keep a place for me in your sorrowed soul

keep a place for me in your burdened heart

and i'll be there when you finally fall apart"
