I’ve been watching her for a while now

Beauty of the finest

Eyes that shine like diamonds when she smiles

But she’s fighting

In a back and forth with her torment

That she can’t shake

I adore her

But she’s dancing with the devil

That is ever present so she never settles

For a better possibility

God, it’s killing me

I’m a wreck just watching her

Do these steps so often I

Hate to see her locked in such an evil waltz

Watch the demon pulse

Bleeding death through every facet of her life

That is not a life

Passion in her eyes, cast into the night

Sadly it’s a fight I can only watch from the shadows, so I

So I watch from the shadows while she’s lost in a battle

That will cost every pattern led to possible happiness

And stomp on and shatter every thought of a better life

Never get it right

Step aside

She’s been dancing with herself as long as I’ve known

And the hand that she’s been dealt, she holds all alone

It breaks my fucking heart the

Way she’s so exhausted

Pain is shown across her

Face with no resolve she

Dances till she bleeds and

Damned if she could see that

Standing at her feet is

A hand to help her breathe

But it’s not my place anymore

Pacing the floor

Dance with the hate she’s adorned

Gracefully mourning

The light in her heart

Shaken and scorned

But she still dances

Lead by a devil

In a hell thats never ending

Just a shell that has been locked

Abandoned with her thoughts

Stranded with a monster

I’m standing just as lost and I watch

Unable to respond to her cries

In the dark as they waltz in the fire

And the fire is building

It rises to fill these

Walls she has built to deny

Any guilt for the silence that kills her

And it kills her

And it kills her

She’s been dancing with herself as long as I’ve known

And the hand that she’s been dealt, she holds all alone

She’s been dancing with herself as long as I’ve known

And the hand that she’s been dealt, she holds all alone

She’s been dancing with herself as long as I’ve known

And the hand that she’s been dealt, she holds all alone

She’s been dancing with herself as long as I’ve known

And the hand that she’s been dealt, she holds all alone
