I know a day will come
Where my life will suddenly stop
But that doesn't mean
I won't waltz
Not even Death himself
Could stop our dance now
Not even if
He had the heart

We sing in broken keys
We dance a jagged line
It's unorganized
But it's who we are

Sing (Sing!)
May we have our chorus ring out?
I know our imperfections
But that doesn't mean
We lack the heart
Let our limerick then be heard
Amongst the delicate crowd
We shed our love
We sing our song!

We sing in broken keys
We dance a jagged line
It's unorganized
But it's who we are
Aware of imperfections
Aware we're not the same
We'll all obey our
Song

NO! (No!)
We won't give up!
We won't give in!
Won't cease our waltz!
NO! (No!)
We won't give up!
We won't give in!
Won't stop our song!

May we have our chorus ring out?
I know our imperfections
But that doesn't mean
We lack the heart
Let our limerick then be heard
Amongst the delicate crowd
We shed our love
We sing our song!

We sing in broken keys
We dance a jagged line
It's unorganized
But it's who we are
Aware of imperfections
Aware we're not the same
We'll all obey our
Song!
Not sure what this is about really. It started out as something to do with doing the things you loved to do even after death. I think I still managed to capture that theme in the rest of the lyrics.

I've been listening to a lot of AFI lately. That had some strong influence in this, any AFI fan could probably tell haha.

Anyways, I don't think this will ever be a song I make. Not sure, I just have a lot of songs to work with already, so writing more would be...a bit much, haha.

Critique encouraged!

You know what's funny? The play we're working on right now, Spoon River Anthology, is about people talking about things from the other side :P Just thought I'd share that with you ^^;
