here we go, one more dance
hold me tight, feel my skin
taste my kiss, rip my soul
drink it up, poison my blood
leave me dead, all in my head

music’s loud, blinders on
lipstick stained, bloodied shirt
satin teeth, trail of blood
too late, take it slow, hurry up
don’t stop now, stop, stop now

the end is near, brought it close
had enough, was getting bored
silly games we used to play
warm me up, cold embrace
silent scream, fading night

let me go, walk away
don’t look back, look, look back
turn around, see my face
hear me cry, watch me die

ashes to ashes and dust to dust
my heart is burned, left to rust
fever is rising out of control
searing my head and scaring my soul

I forgot to fight, such a price
forever trapped, your misery hell
get out of my head, out of my bed
turn me loose, darkness to light
for what you are, make this right

here we go, one more dance
the end is near, you brought it close
my heart is burned, left to rust
I forgot to fight, such a price

walk away, don’t look back
walk away, don’t look look back
