"The Ballroom" lyrics
I tripped through yesterday
I sleep this one away
I'll spend my summer only getting high
Every year's the same
I revel in my shame
I'm wishing that we never said goodbye
And I know, you're a weirdo kid
And no-o-o, look at what you did to me
And I can't trust my feelings, they will deceive
I am malfunctioning
It's safer if you go
So we'll never know
Come down from your pedestal
I am not in full control
You can have my filthy soul
Is that enough to pay your toll?
Everything I am is wrong
I'm not where I belong
And soon I'll open portals to my own kind
But I'm in love with everything you are
I'm a worm, you're a star
But tomorrow I will surely change my mind
And I know, I'm a weirdo kid
And oh, oh, oh, look at what I did to me
And I don't blame you
I have trouble living with me too
I will loose everyone eventually
Including me
Why don't you just release me
I worship in my self pity
Come down from your pedestal
I am not in full control
So I'll light my brightest fire
I'll drop just one or two
I'll burn through my desire
To where there is no me and you
And wow
I was dreaming
Or I was dead
I was in a ballroom
I've never seen such shades of red
In the center, on a rug
There was a bed
From within it's sheets and pillows, black it bled
I was changing as I floated
To the blankets that were dripping goo
And everyone I ever knew, was there
And animals with human hands
Unspoken things from ancient lands
Elected those to strip, and bite, and tear
And oh, the people said, we're doomed
The beasts would fuck, and then consume
As I lay in the blackness of the sheets
Their suffering was sweet
Compared to all the pain that one must bear
In life when we would rot in bags of meat
I was an abomination
I wasn't a man anymore
I was the darkness
I was alone
And I, alone was the whore
It was magnificent, and I only consumed
I am the bride, I am the groom
This is my party, here in the ballroom
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
This is my party, here in the ballroom
This is my party, here in the ballroom
I sleep this one away
I'll spend my summer only getting high
Every year's the same
I revel in my shame
I'm wishing that we never said goodbye
And I know, you're a weirdo kid
And no-o-o, look at what you did to me
And I can't trust my feelings, they will deceive
I am malfunctioning
It's safer if you go
So we'll never know
Come down from your pedestal
I am not in full control
You can have my filthy soul
Is that enough to pay your toll?
Everything I am is wrong
I'm not where I belong
And soon I'll open portals to my own kind
But I'm in love with everything you are
I'm a worm, you're a star
But tomorrow I will surely change my mind
And I know, I'm a weirdo kid
And oh, oh, oh, look at what I did to me
And I don't blame you
I have trouble living with me too
I will loose everyone eventually
Including me
Why don't you just release me
I worship in my self pity
Come down from your pedestal
I am not in full control
So I'll light my brightest fire
I'll drop just one or two
I'll burn through my desire
To where there is no me and you
And wow
