I Hope I Die When I'm Dancing

Inconvenient adversaries 
Found you like a hidden message in a video diary 

Convoluted execution 
You’re a relapse waiting to happen 

Learning to be proud of my reflection 
More smiles than a wedding reception 

Tune in, 
Fade out
Here I am, undecided 

To me, 
Every star is a mini revelation 

This time,
I’m becoming one with the illusion 
Instructions come unclear and heavy handed 
I’m redefining your introduction 

And now that I have your attention
Life threatening circumstances I forgot to mention 
Could go unnoticed 

We’re all just pawns in someone else’s game
