A Tango With Mortality

Is this the way I go?

Live on air, straight to your senses

A way's away from being

A perfect show

Why lay around and wait?

I've already faced you once

You've already tried to take

My soul

Everyone's sucked into the allure

Of a tango with mortality

Well, that little thought shrinks me down

With its totality

I'm not one to break

I've always been the one to heal

And it's always come easy

And it's always been harder not to feel

I'm not one to break

Though I've always been in second place

And I've begun to realize

That maybe that's just my own pace

While everyone is tangled in

A tango with mortality

I'm tangled with the thought

Of pulling you down with me

And I can find

The tango with mortality

As a way to move along

Past lights that blind me

So won't you take my hand?

And lead me past the path below

I'm growing stronger, that you know

And I've been the healer for so long

And maybe it's time to fly

And for me to heal
