I go to work, I feel my day slipping away
Doing nothing, feeling nothing
Another day of living life for someone else
Getting nothing for myself

I try to cope, I watch the time pass and I hope for a future
Something better
I sit and pray tomorrow brings a better day
There's no way it could be worse

I walk outside, the sun's already down
I try to call my friends but no one's around
My rent is late, fifty dollars to my name
Maybe spending it will make me feel sane

So I go dancing to block out the darkness
And to forget about the day that I had
I close my eyes and I pray that tomorrow won't be as bad
I use the music to brighten the night time
'Cause when I'm dancing I forget to feel scared
And if I'm lucky when I come back outside the sun will be there

I lay in bed, I don't know how to clear my head
I need something that can calm me
A place where I can close my eyes and maybe find
Something louder than my mind

I spend all week just waiting for when
I can dance 'til I feel human again
A pitch black room is where I'll have release
By the speakers maybe I can find peace

So I go dancing to block out the darkness
And to forget about the day that I had
I close my eyes and I pray that tomorrow won't be as bad
I use the music to brighten the night time
'Cause when I'm dancing I forget to feel scared
And if I'm lucky when I come back outside the sun will be there
