Fear shame and sorrow
They all creep in from the dark
And stay with me till the day breaks

I'm dancing with the shadows
Carving circles in the dark
Cheek to cheek with strange creatures
Silently guiding me through my past

Actors with painted faces
Using my diary for their lines
Playing scenes long forgotten

I'm dancing with the shadows
Sinking deeper into the dark
Wherever they lead, I will follow
But how much longer will this last?
