It's Dark Around Me
It's dark around me
I see the light breaking in as the music pulses
Banging
Louder and louder against my ears
Bodies are around me
Pressing and pushing and pulsing
Running
Faster and faster as the sound nears
The music fades, the darkness falls
I see nothing but bright light around me
Bleeding
Redder and redder as it pools around me
I'm on the ground
I don't know what happened
I'm bleeding
We were all dancing
I was having fun with my girlfriend beside me
Fading
Dimmer and dimmer goes the bright light
I'm dying
Shot for dancing
And it's dark around me
