Waltz through Life

The show continues for another day
In this waltz of fate, with no bouquet
My steps keep tripping over all the cliché
Of a dancer falling, to their dismay

No partners to dance with
The harbor is a myth

There's no grace in my feet
As long as it's graved in my skin
I'm alive, following the beat,
Of the symphony of all sin

A life of pleasure and ruin
A song that goes off tune

In just one defeat
Or an enormous crash
I can lose control of my feet
Watching all turn into ash

But I can't stop moving
As life keeps going

No one can stop the masquerade
I can love and laugh again
Then scream and dream, I said...
Nothing is as sweet as the pain

As it keeps the monsters away
I prefer to lose myself in the wind
Instead of scratching for an escapade
Since no one cares to go my way
I looked at the sky, am I blind ?
The music keeps going jade

My arms have no reach
No one to hold, leaving me yearning
For a life, or am I being a leech ?
Though there's no harm in living
It feels so unwelcoming
Turning everything disturbing

No one is clapping at the sight of my performance
When I was so lucky to see another day
To be able to live, perform a conformance
Isn't it funny ? Life has the colour gray

I'm dancing under the torrent of rain
Clothes soaked though the disdain
Of myself that has lost any  pattern
Since becoming an adult, I left my lantern

The flame is fading away
The ash is taking its place
Everything while dancing a ballet
Anything to be able to keep face

Have I grew a heart or lost it in the path ?
Was I cursed from the start, or were my choices wrong ?
Can I be hurt, am I allowed to feel wrath ?
So I dance, with the chance that there is somewhere I could belong

A house isn't a home
Friends don't stop from being alone
No one can understand what happened to the mind
Did they ever know me from the start ?
Why do I feel like I'm being left behind ?
When we all danced at the same stage

When we all began as a seed
Rain and sun nourishing our identity 
A faulty race to get at the top of the tree
Is this all a joke from destiny ?

You all rose up to fly though the leaf
While I got stuck in the stump
Will I one day be the lead ?
I still dance in the same stage keeping a front

I can only imagine how to live
Trapped in this dance of the ruminative
Every connection keeps getting shallow
While I'm trying to not get truly hollow

The melody, the symphony fuel my dancing
To keep on living as there's no cancelling
The show must go on until the day I'll expire
Low on hope with a declining fire

I'll keep on the facade
Keep on living a life
Even if it doesn't feel right
Since it's the life I made

The curtains, closing this chapter
A burden, there's an after
