Silhouette of a Dancer - Delain

My skin still burns

At all the places you’ve touched

So aware.

You leave no place for hiding

Not last night

Not this time

I close my eyes, so the world can’t see me And draw the silhouette of a dancer in my head

I can’t look through your eyes

But my mind betrays mine.

Should I starve unmarked?

Or confess to my blindness?

My eyes still hurt

Fighting chasing lights

As they form

Silhouettes behind me Let them go This time

Waiting for a change

I can’t fight these chains

Every day

I bleed to avoid the pain

Every day

I fade a little more

I close my eyes, so the world can’t see me And draw the silhouette of a dancer in my head

I can’t look through your eyes

But my mind betrays mine

Should I starve unmarked?

Or confess to my blindness
