Someone I knew wished to die
Escape the darkness in her mind
Put away the painful ache
The dreaded lonely nights awake

No more drugs that numb the soul
With side effects that take control
No more tears for no one shed
Filling up an empty bed and she said

Chorus 1
Please come dancing on my grave
Celebrate my life's charade
Remember smiling through my pain
Dancing on my grave

Depression always clouds her thoughts
Holds her hostage, never stops
Doctors can't prescribe away
The anguish that she feels today

Death is so seductive now
Seems to be the one way out
Wrapped up in a soft good-bye
Tempts you in its own sweet lie and she said

Chorus 2
Please come dancing on my grave
my life's charade
Remember smiling through my pain
Please come dancing on my grave
Dancing, dancing on my grave dancing, dancing

Give me silence, give me peace
Give me final
Release me from all this sadness
Don't hold on, let me go

Please come dancing won't you dance with me

Chorus 2

on my grave
