Dance Past Midnight

(album: SINDERELLA - 2022)

Clock strikes just another hour closer
In this life, where we fight to be the most heard
But "time" exists, don't know where it ran
Never enough for what I'm plan, plan, planning
I get tired, and I end up sleeping all day
I'm hard wired to be motivated halfway
There's so much stress I can't convey
Just do my best with the role I play

Burning out, it's only that much harder
But there's a reason we're known fire starters, babe

Take control
I won't live another life
We put the time in, the grind isn't slowing down
'Til empress takes her crown

Heads will roll
Won't believe another lie
Don't call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell
Dancing past the clock strike twelve

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

We're still hanging on by a thread

My brain is overloaded
Rather take it slow inside
The strain has got me going crazy
Praying I can hide
I got ten million things that I wanna do
But there's only like ten that I might see through
That life of smashing limits I led...
I wanna sleep and dream it instead
We know that it hurts
But put in the work and the fantasy exits your head

Burning out, it's only that much harder
But there's a reason we're known fire starters, babe

Take control
I won't live another life
We put the time in, the grind isn't slowing down
'Til empress takes her crown

Heads will roll
Won't believe another lie
Don't call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell
Dancing past the clock strike twelve

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

We're still hanging on by a thread

We toe the line
Of sparing time
And lacking motivation

We fall behind
Ambition blind
If there's no road yet, guess we'll make one

The sloth got so tempting
Now that story's ending
The cynics better run

Take control
I won't live another life
We put the time in, the grind isn't slowing down
'Til empress takes her crown

Heads will roll
Won't believe another lie
Don't call me lazy, I stay breezing through the hell
Dancing past the clock strike twelve

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

Keep dancing, advancing and get ahead

Here we GO (GO) GO (GO) GO (GO)

We're still hanging on by a thread
