Midnight Dancing
I'm dancing here so close to midnight
It's not right but my soul was born to fight
Chamber after chamber I considered the dangers
That hate bound us together but love made us strangers
I ascended so high these stairs
To find a lair of nobody who cares
Struck at the door my feet cemented in place
A lost case I couldn't see their face
Black and white ran down my cheeks like tears
Hear me now they orchestrated all of my fears
They thrust upon me a mirror to peer at eyes so somber
But it somehow left me calmer
With clarity I freed my feet and darted
Unsure if I could reclaim what I had when I started
At the top of the tower midnight was the hour
To the backdrop of a star shower
I'm dancing here on top of the tower at midnight
You're no longer here but my soul was born to fight
And though I thought I overcame the dangers
The truth is it only made us strangers
