Dance Of The Bruises

Skin is stained with red
I feel the pain at night in bed

Skin is stained blue
But the bruises are caused by what I push myself to do

Skin is stained green
Lately the bruises are all I see

Body is weak
White are my cheeks
Dull are my eyes

Yet my body will rise
So one last time I can dance
It will be my last chance
Before my body collapses on the floor
Because of the exhaustion I've pushed for
