Dancing On The Grave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a sun that I belong to
There hangs a light that comes and shines upon you
They're of the warmth, they're of reminders of youth
Oh we can't stay here
Take down the moon and all it's mockery
There is the Sun that takes away our money
The night is deafening and brings on defeat
No we can't stay here, no I can't stay here
No I can't stay here
Someone told me that I've run too far away, away
Someone told me I should just give in and stay, and stay
Oh come and celebrate, we're dancing on the grave
Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here
Don't steal away all of her beauty
Take down the darkness bruising both of your knees
It better overwhelm the heart with the heat
Oh I can't stay here, no we can't stay here
No I can't stay here
Someone hold me as I turn the night away, away
Someone hold me to the ultraviolet ray, ray
Oh come and celebrate, we're dancing on your grave
Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here
