• Ballerina, ballerina, take out your music box.
    Ballerina, ballerina, your heart is locked.
    Ballerina, ballerina, let your song play.
    Ballerina, ballerina, you'll be taken away.

    A little girl, a Swan Princess.
    Her arms hit the air, her wrists are a mess.
    A silver locket promised around her neck.
    She cuts her wrists in a dance she'll never forget.

    Ballerina, ballerina, see her spin, see her spin.
    Ballerina, ballerina, hear her sing, hear her sing.
    Ballerina, ballerina, watch her dance, watch her dance.
    Ballerina, ballerina, she's in a trance, in a trance.

    Dancing takes her away from this world.
    For this ballerina, life is hell.
    She escapes in the music, it takes her away.
    The lyrics are the words she can't bring herself to say.
    The music a melody to her own life.
    She twirls to the bloody beat of a knife.

    Ballerina, ballerina, hush, just hush.
    Ballerina, ballerina, do not rush, do not rush.
    Ballerina, ballerina, stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding.
    Ballerina, ballerina, spin to the song you are breathing.

    She spins and she twirls.
    She's lost in her world.
    Sense her grace as she glides around.
    See the beauty in her breakdown.
    A dance routine of pain and hurt,
    But the sound of the music can't wash the blood from her skirt.

    Ballerina, ballerina, lose yourself, lose yourself.
    Ballerina, ballerina, free someone else, someone else.
    Ballerina, ballerina, unlock your heart, unlock your heart.
    Ballerina, ballerina, you're falling apart, falling apart.

    Like a moon she is pale, silver against black.
    She's deadly but cunning like a suicidal act.
    A broken masterpiece, she is splintered, misread;
    An innocent wreck, spun with violent thread.
    Invisible, she is a homicidal romance.
    Can you not see the beauty in her melancholic dance?

    Ballerina, ballerina, put on your show, put on your show.
    Ballerina, ballerina, hear your melody blow.
    Ballerina, ballerina, dance a drought, dance a drought.
    Ballerina, ballerina, scream your heart out, scream your heart out.

    Lost in faded memories and still frame collections.
    She looks so broken in a framed mirror reflection.
    The little ballerina girl will put on a show.
    She'll put on her dress, tie her hair in a bow.
    Please do come, you won't regret.
    You're invited to the Blackened Ballet.

    Ballerina, ballerina, I see your smile is fake.
    Ballerina, ballerina, dance until you break.
    Ballerina, ballerina, finish and bow.
    Ballerina, ballerina, the show's over now.
    Ballerina, ballerina, roses are thrown by you to rest.
    Ballerina, ballerina, dance your last breath.

    The Ballerina is gone, she came and she left.
    She was invisble but seen, and bled to her best.
    You watched the Ballerina as she danced her last breath.
    Thank you for attending the Blackened Ballet.
