I'm dancing with a ghost
Never felt so alone
Tears falling ever step
I'm hiding from the mirrors
I know I look a mess
Blood rains
Mascara stains
I can't remember who I am
Stepping up onto my toes
The pain that comes nothing like
The pain of loosing grasp on yourself
Who knows if I'll ever find the words to describe
The emotions that drown me each day
I wonder
Will this ever go away?
My heart is racing
I keep dancing
Where I'm closest to sure than I'll ever be
Why did I choose this path?
Unsure if there's a future I'll have
If I'll ever cross this chasm on this bridge
As thin as a strand of thought
Woven from the lyrics of this sad song
Maybe the path that I fought for for so long will teach me
What's awake and what's a dream
Wether they're one and the same
If I should trust my conscious or subconscious mind
Or neither
Just get lost in this movement
That hurts my body but heals my shattered mind
I've given up on the remanence of logic to try and salvage emotion
Rationing each thing I know to be true
The jar becoming ever closer to empty
When I run out the world falls away and I'm trapped in a swirling nebula
A dance for two and one sad song
I'm dancing with a ghost
