And We Dance

If I die before I wake I'll give you my last breath to take I never made it very far The price we paid for who we are The past is there when we awake It all feels like a great mistake Standing in the light of day The skin we cut to take away Sometimes we pray to who we know To find the smile we make for show No music on the dancing floor The boards beneath are like before Cause nothing ever seems to change Our dated names are sounding strange It feels like leaving love behind Still peaking through these window blinds Cause no one wants for us to change Why can't they see our burning pain? So watch me scream as you decide To take my hand and go outside So what will your decision be? Ugly truth or fantasy? Leave behind your perfect life And dance with me upon a knife And we dance and dance We dance in hell We dance away No lies to sell
