A man in the alley
Dares me to step past the line
Into insanity
So unmistakably mine
If I ever accept
Oh I know there's a chance
Dying to destroy me
He'll desperately dance
A tear in my heart
Bleeds hard to open the door
Still lamenting each beat
To the sound of no more
His footsteps are brazen
A life iron to the core
But wherever I flee
He'll secretly soar
Through my mind
Where nothing will ever be the same
I can't find
Anyway to ever stop the change
An actor in a play
Drawing curtains to a close
Slips past the sleeping guard
To the tip of my nose
Filling streets with sad songs
Shadows quietly stare
I enter the alley
To the call of his dare
