When the snow falls, and you're in pain
Do you think that the white color
Of the cold snow will turn red
Into a wonderful bed of roses?
Are my eyes closed?
If they're open, will they see that
The sky's in the color of blue and not gray?
Or am I inside a cage, so broken?

Let's dance tonight to the clock
Burning every second away
Second away, second away
The fading light
Leaves everything in darkness
Swallowed and gone, swallowed and gone
Swallowed and gone

There are shadows in the closet
I said when I was just a little girl
Foolish and young
With an innocent tongue outspoken

Are they still there?
If they are gone
Will they be waiting and greeting me
With warm welcomes and smiles
As I go with them while I'm broken?

Let's dance tonight to the clock
Burning every second away
Second away, second away
The fading light
Leaves everything in darkness
Swallowed and gone, swallowed and gone
Swallowed and gone
