Dance With You, Outcast

[Verse 1] I heard every word that you sang to the night, A quiet confession, a flicker of light. They paint me in shadows to make themselves feel whole, But I know the weight of a fracturing soul. I didn’t want kingdoms, I didn’t want crowns, Just a place where a heart doesn't feel like it drowns. You speak of my fall like a tragic mistake, But it was the only clean break I could make. You don’t have to worry about being so good, Or fitting the mold that they said that you should. The weight of the world is too heavy to bear, So step in the dark, you are safe with me there. [Pre-Chorus] You ask who decides Who stays in the cold But love isn't something That's bought or is sold [Chorus] I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast I see you clear now Rest from your flight I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast The fire is warm here You’re safe in the night [Verse 2] They told you that perfection is all you can be, Then locked up your spirit and threw out the key. But scars aren't a failure, and tears aren't a sin, They’re just where the healing is trying to begin. I know how it feels when you're pushed out of sight, Left standing alone in the chill of the night. The demons they fear are just hurts they deny, The anger that hides all the times that they cry. You don’t have to hide what is broken or bruised, In the heart of the dark, you will not be refused. [Pre-Chorus] You ask who decides Who stays in the cold But love isn't something That's bought or is sold [Chorus] I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast I see you clear now Rest from your flight I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast The fire is warm here You’re safe in the night [Bridge] The heartbeat of hell is a gentle refrain, A soft, steady rhythm to quiet your pain. It beats for the tired, the lost, the undone, A shelter for those who are weary to run. So lay down your armor, let the holy courts judge, In the depth of these ashes, I hold no old grudge. [Final Chorus] I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast I see you clear now Rest from your flight I’ll dance with you, outcast I’ll dance with you, outcast We’re broken together But finally alright
