La Danse Macabre?

"La Danse Macabre?"

 

In our minds we share a dance

And on the floor we find the fear to give our love a chance

With swords and knives, it's our thoughts we guard

And to deliver fear a killing stroke has become as hard

As it is to fly inside a fleeting summer's breeze

When our ship has been troubled in all the seven seas

But when dancing, they say you should never lead with your left

And I look at the life I lead, and wonder what I have left

For the world isn't very kind

When your reality doesn't fit the image in their mind

Remember that they'll disregard your hopes and dreams

And only focus on the brands and sizes of your jeans

It's a photogenic world, full of plastic people with morals for sale

And they'll include a tan in a bottle, in case you're feeling a little pale

Paint your eyelashes black, so we won't notice your eyes are always shut

And pay your surgeons well, so they'll remove every self-inflicted cut

In our souls we share a dance

And on the floor we find enough guilt to give religion a chance

With swords and knives, it's our beliefs we guard

And to deliver sin a killing stroke has become as hard

As it is to devote ourselves to something we cannot see

While reading about miracles performed by a man we'll never be

But when dancing, they say the more experienced one should lead

And still the timid take control, because it's our egos we love to feed

For the gossip of sinners isn't very kind

When they're searching lives with fine-tooth combs, for what they'll never find

And remember that they'll disregard the truth, if lies bring more delight

It's not about who are you today, but what you do at night

And they love to know who you do it with, and details make them smile

They show their teeth to throw you off, their second face is just as vile

Paint your windows black, so they can see a reflection of their hearts

And they'll know their lives won't equal yours, unless they combine the parts...
