Mori Calliope
Dance Past Midnight
[Vesre 1: AmaLee]
Clock strikes just another hour closer
In this life, where we fight to be the most heard
But “time” exists, don’t know where it ran
Never enough for what I’m plan-plan-planning

I get tired, and I end up sleepin’ all day (All day)
I’m hard wired to be motivated halfway (Halfway)
There’s so much stress I can’t convey (Na na na)
Just do my best with the role I play

[Pre-Chorus: Mori Calliope & AmaLee]
Burning out, it’s only that much harder (Much harder)
But there’s a reason we’re known fire starters, babe
Three, two, one

[Chorus: Mori Calliope, AmaLee & Both]
Take control
I won’t live another life
We put the time in, the grind isn’t slowin’ down
‘Til the empress takes my crown

Heads will roll, won’t believe another lie
Don’t call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell
Dancing past the clock strikes twelve
[Post-Chorus: Mori Calliope & AmaLee]
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
We’re still hanging on by a thread

[Verse 2: Mori Calliope]
My brain is overloaded, rather take it slow inside
The strain has got me goin’ crazy, prayin' I can hide (Hide)
I got ten million things that I wanna do
But there’s only like ten that I might see through

That life of smashing limits I led
I wanna sleep and dream it instead
We know that it hurts
But put in the work and the fantasy exits your head (Hoo!)

[Pre-Chorus: AmaLee & Mori Calliope]
Burning out, it’s only that much harder (Much harder)
But there’s a reason we’re known fire starters, babe
Three, two, one

[Chorus: Mori Calliope, AmaLee & Both]
Take control
I won’t live another life
We put the time in, the grind isn’t slowin’ down
‘Til the empress takes my crown
Heads will roll, won’t believe another lie
Don’t call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell
Dancing past the clock strikes twelve

[Post-Chorus: Mori Calliope & AmaLee]
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
We’re still hanging on by a thread

[Bridge: Mori Calliope, AmaLee & Both]
We toe the line
Of sparing time
And lacking motivation (Lacking motivation)
We fall behind
Ambition blind (Woo)
If there’s no road yet, guess we’ll make one

The sloth got so tempting
Now that story’s ending
The cynics better run
Three, two, one

[Chorus 2: Mori Calliope, AmaLee, Both, & Other]
Take control (Take control)
I won’t live another life (Live another life)
We put the time in, the grind isn’t slowin’ down (Down)
‘Til the empress takes my crown (Go!)
Heads will roll (Here we go!), won’t believe another lie (Believe another lie)
Don’t call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell (Through the hell)
Dancing past the clock strikes twelve

[Post-Chorus: Mori Calliope & AmaLee]
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead
Here we go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
We’re still hanging on by a thread
