I Need The Music

I put my heart
Up on a shelf
There are others to blame
But I only blame myself

I stay in and mingle
With gathering dust
My body is burning
With carnal lust

Giving in for a moment
Only later to find
Loneliness is worse than ever
I'm losing my mind

My lines are drawn
I can't cross them now
I have to live within them
I can do it somehow

I can't gamble now
It's up to chance
I need the music
So I can dance

My body moves
Or I just sway
Music is my escape
From where I don't want to stay
