You’re flirting with cataclysm
So sick in the brain
You’re washing with dirty scalpels
Hiding the pain.
May I have this dance?

You’re drinking from muddy waters
Grooming with rusty nails
Burn a bridge or two
And live to tell the tale.

Blow out the brightest candle
Hide behind the darkest shades
Come take a dance with Anna
So prettied up in her burnished blades.

Let’s take a walk down burning halls
Let’s drive to a place far from here
Let’s color these aged, decrepit walls
And bury the memories in the middle of nowhere.

You’re wading in the blackest ocean
Speaking to children that don’t exist
You’re catching her synthetic disease
Holding broken fingers between your lips.

Make her feel as pleasing as you are
Etch mauve scars down your handsome face
Seize her in your blistered arms
Dance with Anna before she wakes.
