He’s the chains that I hate,
but the chains that I need
cause chained is the only time
I ever felt free
He’s the reason I stay
The reason I hide
The monster I fear
He’s inside
He’s everywhere
in my blood and in my air
So we bleed together
and we breathe together
He my sickness and I his mistress
They say it chose me,
but I know I chose him
They say that I’m cursed,
but I know it’s a sin
Not envy or greed,
not sloth or pride
It’s original
He’s inside
He’s everywhere
in my blood and in my air
So we bleed together
and we breathe together
And I make no penance
So we dance for the sinner
Dance for the saint
Dance for the pious
Dance for the knave
Dance for the king
Dance for the slave
We dance forever
We dance to the grave
We dance for the memories
And the tears that We’ve cried
And we dance together
Cause He is inside
He’s everywhere
in my blood and in my air
So we bleed together
and we breathe together
He my sickness and I his mistress
