I'm so sick of pretending
Everything's the way I want it to be
But it's so good to feel empty
'Cause I may be sick, but you're my favourite malady

Without your love, I'm out of place
It's such a shame to let it go to waste

Dancing in the dark
Hold me closer than I ever dreamed of
Distort into me
If I have to lie here, in silence, just to disappear
It'll be worth it if my ghost is yours

We'll be Midas, make it all golden
I'll be the day to your night
Wild horses meant to be broken
The clock's ticking forward but my pulse is behind

Oh, I'm so stuck on dreaming of you
This is a battle I'm not willing to lose

Dancing in the dark
Hold me closer than I ever dreamed of
Distort into me
If I have to lie here, in silence, just to disappear
It'll be worth it if my ghost is yours

There's something so real about the way you twist reality
I'm losing gravity
And you stole all my sanity
So we'll get drunk on moonlight
This red thread ain't long enough
For me to get tangled up with you

Dancing in the dark
Hold me closer than I ever dreamed of
Distort into me
If I have to lie here, in silence, just to disappear
It'll be worth it if my ghost is yours

Hold me closer than I ever dreamed of
Distort into me
If I have to lie here, in silence, just to disappear
It'll be worth it if my ghost is yours
