Dancing with Death until Dawn
Take me somewhere only we belong
Where only we fit in
Take me to the crevices of your heart
And let me build a home
Where only we will dance
In the thunder of the rain pouring amongst us
Trying to wash away our sins and encapsulate our scars
Futile precautions intertwining our souls
Binding us against our blood sweat and tears
Yet we remain gay and drunk
Filling a void we never knew existed in the first place
We are each other’s love and demise
Each other’s despair and joy
Our feet splashing against the cold hard ground
Carefully making sure our flames remain healthy and well
To guide the others home
We dance into the colors only to meet him and have him laugh at us
Asking why we have foolishly come before our time
And we will smile
Welcoming the darkness
The oppression
The faith we have so gravely chosen
With open arms
And we will continue to dance across the bridge and into the darkness
As we have found ourselves
At the edge of death
At the crack of dawn
