We danced around our drinks
Like they were poisoned cups,
Dodging silver bullets
Which looked to cut us down,
Surviving each day
The best that we could,
Never talking of the ghosts
That haunted every corner,
The ghosts that lived inside
And made our shadows long,
We held our smiles through the day
Until our anger tore the dark,
The shadows now the best of us
The tears we locked away,
And still we dance
Our shapes against the sky,
As if the truth will fade
And we will be unscathed,
Dodging silver bullets
We keep within our hearts.
