there s an ether hanging at my door
a cross-eyed crucifier keeping score
i keep on smiling til i can t smile no more
everyday fades to blue

there s a danger lying at every turn
a steel-eyed star signing to whom it may concern
i catch my breath before the match starts to burn
everyday lights a fuse
there s a false confession under my skin
a doe-eyed disbeliever, a turned down chin
keep on losing til it feels like a win
but it s just a point of view
there s a light shining in my eyes
a show off charlatan shelling out lies
i see clearly til the flash starts to die
but it s just a clue
there s a cloud rising from the sea
a modern myth maker coming for me
i see the rain fall like snakes from a tree
and i know it s overdue
there s a stranger lying sound asleep
a slung out stone sinking in the deep
i give my dreams away the darkness i keep
but I m holding on to you
keep on waltzing past the grave
keep on waltzing past the grave
keep on waltzing past the grave
for one more day
Happy strumming!
