Dances

Some days are filling me up with joy
Some are rolling down to the grave
I'm done with the world
But not with life, just yet

Being born is the greatest gift of all
And good things come to those who wait
Being born so long ago
I can't say it ain't so

Drink from the chalice of the bitter fruit
Destroy our souls while searching for the truth
And the truth is blurry at best, anyway
We break our backs for the greedy machine
And wave to the fear that it's all there, we'll be
Despite the pain insidе, we go on

To find the perfеct match is a stretch
I could do with somewhat less
And it's not a lack of trying, for my part
The idea of everlasting love
The one I've seen in films
Having come this far I can say
It ain't here

We dance our dances while the rum sets in
In the mouth of the madness on the brink of a dream
And keep staring into the night, alone

Spirits still unbroken
But dreams grow colder
Mind is building
A wall

We dance our dances
While the rut sets in
We take our chances
Against the howling wind

We drink from the chalice of the bitter fruit
Destroy our souls while searching for the truth
And the truth is blurry at best, anyway

We dance our dances while the rum sets in
In the mouth of the madness on the brink of a dream
Despite the pain inside, we go on
