Hold your hand over the candle
Feel the skin against the flame
Hold tight, close your eyes
Until you cant feel the pain
Till the scars that cripple our hearts
Slowly disappears
We've been dancing on a burning ship for all these years
Who oh oh
Dreams of death as the cancer
Eats away through your veins
We are dead in the water
As we drown in the flames
The air in our lungs
Slowly disappears
We've been dancing on a burning ship for all these years
Broken wings we can't fly
In the flames where we lie
Lay down, lay down by me
Sleep as our scars erase
In eternal embrace
Lay down, lay down by me
Hold your hand over the candle
Feel the skin against the flame
Hold tight, close your eyes
Until you cant feel the pain
From the wreckage of the storm
We shed no tears
We've been dancing on a burning ship for all these years
Who oh oh
