Dance one more dance and tell one more lie.
- Rainy Season, Hunter Hayes
.
.
You're whirling and spinning,
swishing and turning,
twirling and it's a dance.
A dance of danger and passion and heat,
this fire bending is.
.
The fire flows from your soul
and you channel it gracefully through your limbs
and this, this is what you live for.
.
And then you return to your web,
a spider returning for her prey,
lies spilling from your mouth.
You manipulate like a master
and you spin this web of lies so complex
that no will ever cut it all down.
And this, this is how you survive.
.
And darling, you dance your dance of fire
and weave your web of lies
and you are the fire lady, the spider queen.
And you're shattered.
You're the deranged princess
and they whisper that you're insane behind your back.
It doesn't matter.
.
(fire girl, it does)
.
(spider girl, you care)
.
But there's n-o-t-h-i-n-g you can do about it
(nothing at all)
so you dance one more dance and you tell one more lie.
Fire is your soulmate, lies are your home.
And it's enough.
.
(it's not, fire girl)
.
(it never will be, spider girl)
.
But you'll s-u-r-v-i-v-e.
(because you're pretty good at that too.)
