A Serenade in Purple and Black

(Verse 1) Come down from your gargoyle, friend of the night, You're working so hard for a losing fight. Why carry the weight of a broken town, When you could just let all the armor down? We’re cut from the very same twisted cloth, A flame drawing close to a midnight moth. (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in. (Verse 2) You think that your suffering makes you pure, A solemn devotion that has no cure. I look at your scowl and I have to smile, You’ve been playing the hero a little too while. We both took a tumble, we both hit the floor, So why are you locking yourself behind door? (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in. (Verse 3) It’s heavy to always be taking the blame, To hide underneath a theatrical name. Imagine the freedom of dropping the cowl, Of stopping the brooding, the brooding and prowl. You don't have to save every soul in distress, Sometimes you just need to embrace the mess. (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in. (Verse 4) We’re actors performing a lifelong play, Just keeping our demons at bay day by day. You chose the darkness, I chose the joke, Both of us fading away in the smoke. So why do we pretend that we’re worlds apart, When we share the beat of a shattered heart? (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in. (Verse 5) I’m offering freedom from rules and restraint, Away from the vigilante's tired complaint. We’d paint the town over with laughter and glee, Just two broken spirits finally running free. You’d see that the pressure was all in your head, A ghost story told by the people who bled. (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in. (Verse 6) So what do you say as the sirens wail low? Is it time for a partner, time for a show? I know you won't take it, I know you'll stand tall, Refusing to break and refusing to fall. But even in turning my offer away, You prove you're the light that turns night into day. (Chorus) 'Cause madness and order are two of a kind, Two matching keys to a lock left behind. We’re dancing a waltz on the edge of the glass, So why do you fight what is destined to pass? Oh, take my hand and let the world go spin, There's joy in the chaos if you let it in.
