Dance to Forget
It seems like a lifetime ago
That I saw the gold sunshine glow
No it doesn't reach down below
Shadows become the light
Here where the monsters hide
Normal is just a dream
For all the ghosts like me
I hate my metal bones
My bones and gears lurk in my chest
My chest forever cold
A cold and maddening descent
Descending down to far
Fall far until there's nothing left
I'm left here in the dark
The dark, I dance to forget
This is my penitentiary
Fractured apart from the world
Where I want to be
Lock the door, throw away the key
And let my dance resume
Down in a pitch black room
Normal is just a dream
For all the ghosts like me (like me)
I hate my metal bones
My bones and gears creak in my chest
My chest forever cold, a cold and maddening descent
Descending down so far
Fall far until there's nothing left
I'm left here in the dark
The dark, I dance to forget
I dance to forget
Come now, dance with me
As my song plays
Down, down, dance with me
Stuck on replay
Come now, dance with me
As my song plays
Down, down, dance with me
Stuck on replay
I hate my metal bones
My bones and gears creak in my chest
My chest forever cold
A cold and maddening descent
Descending down so far
Fall farther til there's nothing left
I'm left here in the dark
The dark, I dance to forget
