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
