Dancing Nightmares
Dancing in the rain of my madness
Singing songs of heartbreak and plight.
Laughing and crying, twirling and thrashing
There is no sunshine without the night.
Walk with me through the storm clouds
Feel the lightning, embrace the wind.
There is a party full of well-dressed nightmares,
You are all more than welcome to attend.
They have glasses full of bitter-sweet sorrow
tiny cakes flavored with regret.
Crunchy chips seasoned with humiliation,
The ice cream, topped with tragedies you can't forget.
The intoxicating music is loud and chaotic,
you can't help but break out in dance.
Multiple genres swirling and blending
They'll overpower you if given the chance.
It's much too dark here for most,
No worries, you are secure.
Here, you are safe to feel and react
release all of yourself, be pure.
You can't have hope for the future
if the past holds captive your heart.
So dance with the well-dressed nightmares,
Please get to know them, then let them depart.
