Sometimes I Dance

"Way too much to buckle under

you can almost smell the stolen thunder

Still I, I got a lingering love for this place

Let's turn the plane around

I don't wanna give up"

 - A Lingering Love, by The Fruit Bats 

Sometimes I feel there's a knot in my spine

which twists even as I stand straight

Sometimes I feel the ceiling's too low

and I'm penned all around with no gate

Sometimes I fall to the ground with a sob

sometimes I'm terribly numb

Sometimes I can't stop the streams from my eyes

as though I am not the right sum

Sometimes I run to the edge of my strength

thanking the pain for it's being

Sometimes all is sweet, all is bright, all is good 

and the beauty's the most that I'm seeing

Sometimes I laugh in a sad, hollow way

sometimes I laugh with pure joy

Sometimes I rest in the peace of the dawn

when sorrow is but a decoy

Sometimes I'm so hopeful I could be naive

Sometimes I'm taking that chance

Sometimes I spread my arms wide to the world

Sometimes I chose just to dance
