[Intro]

[Intro] [Verse] The streetlamp died a sudden death on the corner Leaving us with the weight of the heavy velvet sky I can feel your pulse against my wrist like a ticking clock Measuring the distance between the earth and the high [Verse] We don’t need the silver flickers of the city lights To find the gravity that’s pulling at our weary bones There is a map written in the way your palm meets mine A secret language spoken in the quietest of tones [Chorus] I want to dance in the dark with you tonight Where the shadows swallow every jagged edge we wear No polished floor or chandelier to blind our sight Just the holy silence hanging in the midnight air [Chorus] I want to dance in the dark with you tonight Moving like the water in a well that’s running deep Beyond the reach of every false and flickering light Into the promises the weary world can’t keep [Bridge] The vanity of the noon has finally turned to ash The mirrors have all folded up their tired glass wings We are the only movement left in this vast hollow Listening to the song the ancient emptiness sings [Verse] Forget the costumes we were forced to put on yesterday The masks carved out of habit and the social grace In this thick ink there is no room for performance I only need to know the warmth that defines your face [Verse] The wind is shaking at the hinges of the heavy door But we are drifting in a space where time has lost its grip There is a sanctuary found in being completely lost With nothing but the darkness for our frantic fellowship [Chorus] I want to dance in the dark with you tonight Where the shadows swallow every jagged edge we wear No polished floor or chandelier to blind our sight Just the holy silence hanging in the midnight air [Chorus] I want to dance in the dark with you tonight Moving like the water in a well that’s running deep Beyond the reach of every false and flickering light Into the promises the weary world can’t keep [Outro]
