lyrics

DANCER HOWL

enlighten me
go ahead, frighten me
what is that shine in your eyes?
why won't you apologize?

change the subject
turn back toward the stage
don't claim to love it if you don't
don't make like hate
when you're really just afraid

I know I seemed impervious
If you only knew how nervous I was
I know I seemed gregarious
If you only knew how scared I was

change the subject
get back in the game
don't waste your judgment
on some scum you'll never know
don't make like hate--
you are loved and saved
oooh

in north side caves
we pretend to be brave
as in vain we attempt to explain
fresh graves on the south and the out sides
will we never tire of rewiring our brains
with low-grade fame
and role-play?
level up, it's never enough

find another face
a further out space
pace yourself
replace yourself

do you still get thrilled by a shrill parade?
do you still get chills when the killscreen fades?
are you paragon or renegade?
do you dare to want for better days?

change the subject
step back into your stance
don't try to rise above it when it's fine here way down low
why make like hate
when you could fake like romance?
when you could make like trance?

drummer dance
sweat through the ass of your pants
singer listen
singer listen
dancer howl
there's only here and now
dancer how
dancer ha
