I'm done, dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it so close to God
That you can taste it, so close to God
That you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
Heavy lies the crown, bear down on me
Heavy lies the crown, eternally
I am king
I am king
I'm done, dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it, so close to God
That you can taste it, so close to God
That you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
Witness me
Eradication of everything
Behold
All of the things that you'll never be
Go
Spiral
Down to the bottom of agony
So close to God that you can taste it
So close to God that you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
I'm done dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it
'Cause I'm done dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it, so close to God
That you can taste it
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it so close to God
That you can taste it, so close to God
That you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
Heavy lies the crown, bear down on me
Heavy lies the crown, eternally
I am king
I am king
I'm done, dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it, so close to God
That you can taste it, so close to God
That you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
Witness me
Eradication of everything
Behold
All of the things that you'll never be
Go
Spiral
Down to the bottom of agony
So close to God that you can taste it
So close to God that you can almost taste it
I'm done dancing with the dead
I'm done dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it
'Cause I'm done dancing with the dead
I can see their faces melt onto the pavement
When I dream, I can see the end
I'm the one who makes it, so close to God
That you can taste it

Lead vocalist Andy Leo commented, “'Dancing with the Dead' came about during the rock bottom phase of quarantine. I’d felt like my purpose had been taken, and I had fully melded into the idea of just letting myself rot. I thought that rock bottom had a definite end but it felt as if I could go as low as I’d let myself. There’s a mural of heaven we put up that covers my entire living room wall and I was thinking about the book Paradise Lost where Lucifer said something like, 'I’d rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven,' and knew that if I was doomed to be stuck in this loop then I may as well make the most of it. I was chasing after an idea of salvation that I could do nothing to reach so I decided to start building myself outward to make myself the king of the shit hole I had put myself in.”
