Charlatan’s Waltz

You lie awake in the comfort of your metal skin

You’ll never show, never tell the state you’re in

You just act pretty human

 Terrified of looking out of place

Bat aside any question that could give you away

But it’s clear to the one’s you love

And though I had you on my side

We still couldn’t get it right

That’s what happens when you can only dance

Half of the time

It never looked as if we could ever last

Cos we couldn’t up, up each other’s game

I’d pulled the rug from underneath my brain

I couldn’t dance a charlatan’s waltz anymore

I couldn’t dance a charlatan’s waltz anymore

I won’t let the blood run over the dream

Be a slave in the grave of the hollow scene

I’ll use it to whip my desire

I’m sorry that I had to go through it with you

I didn’t take it the way that you wanted me to

But it’s better now I’m on my own

And though I had you on my side

We still couldn’t get it right

That’s what happens when you can only dance

Half of the time

It never looked as if we could ever last

Cos we couldn’t up, up each other’s game

I’d pulled the rug from underneath my brain

I couldn’t dance a charlatan’s waltz anymore

I couldn’t dance a charlatan’s waltz anymore

Still I’ll go running

Scared I’ll be nothing

Guess I’ll find out

I can’t just give up on

All I have worked for

I wont let you down
