The Widow’s Dancefloor

I walked in with a cracked red smile

And a dress like midnight on fire

Every broken heart in the room

Learned to dance a little bit higher

The chandelier shook when I left

The mirrors held their breath

I wore my sorrow like velvet armor

And I waltzed with the threat

Spin me harder, let the shadows meet me

If I fall apart, let the glitter keep me

We're dancing through heartbreak tonight

Hands up, sharp and alive

With masks on our faces and fire in our eyes

We own the night, we own the night

We're laughing at danger in lace

Turning the pain into light

If love left to bruise on my soul

I'll make it sparkle and bite

We own the night

The organ moaned like an old confession

Guitar cut through the smoke

Every stranger move like a secret

Every secret learned to provoke

I kissed the rim of the moonlight

And it tasted like thunder and wine

If the past wants to haunt this party

It can stand in line

Steal me harder, let the shadows meet me

If I fall apart, let the glitter keep me

We're dancing through heartbreak tonight

Hands up, sharp and alive

With masks on our faces and fire in our eyes

We own the night, we own the night

We're laughing at danger and lace

Turning the pain into light

If love left a bruise on my soul

I'll make it sparkle and bite

We own the night

Tell me

Do you hear the dark call my name?

I answer with glitter and flame

No more running, no more chains

With a curse and the killer, I'm the same

We're dancing through heartbreak tonight

No fear, no farewell, no goodbye

With masks on our faces and fire in our eyes

We own the night, we own the night

We're kissing the edge of the dark

And smiling like we might survive

If love comes back dressed as a ghost

Then let it come, let it try

We are the night

We are the night
