What We Done? Lyrics

So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no glamour
Stumbling down queen

Come back to me
You're seventeen
I have no silence
Calamity

We knew no difference
Awake the arc
She saw the future
It was dark

So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no love here
Where the old queers sting

Come back to me
You're seventeen
I have no silence
Complacency

We knew no different
Awake the arc
She saw the future
It was dark

So I dance with nothing
So I dance for free
And there is no glamour
Stumbling down queen

What we done?
Deceiving
The peace we had inside
What we done?
Believing
The peace we had inside

I've become
The ceiling
The creature of the night
Where are you?
Believing
We found our way alright

Here again
The feeling
The aching space inside
Here again
The feeling
The aching place inside
