dancer

The dancer
She is dancing
She is spinning
With her arms open wide
She is on pointe
Dipping perfectly
She is smiling through the lies
And the only
Time she's happy
Is when she's dancing
On the stage
Amid the whispers
And the staring
She can find herself again

Turning around
And around
And around

She didn't even see
That she
Was falling

The dancer
She is trying
She is tripping
She is wishing on a star
For a reason
For an answer
For why truth is so far gone
And the only
Thing she really knows
Is people never really change
She is drowning
In the music
She's losing it
She can feel it in her bones

Turning around
And around
And around

She didn't even see
That she
Was falling


The dancer
She is Crying
She has tripped up
She's fallen further than before
But she keeps dancing
With a fire
She knows she can prove them wrong
And when things get hard
And she catches her breath
She smiles and closes her eyes
They mean nothing
She tells herself
The night is always darkest
Before the dawn

Turning around
And around
And around

She didn't even see
That she
Was falling

Turning around
And around
And around

She didn't even see
That she
Was falling
