Lyrics John Mark McMillan – Persephone

Persephone
Lord of the dead
Do we all go down for a season?
The creatures that we seek

I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of a dead man, and I
I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of the dead man, I

I dig into the folds of my mind
Scavenging the cracks sometimes for answers
But hope is not as I have come to find
Something that you understand
But I trust, and I

I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of a dead man, and I
I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of the dead man, I

When I was young
I thought I would become
Someone different than who I find myself to be

I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of a dead man, and I
I don’t want to dance anymore
With dark nostalgia
I don’t want to hold hands with the dreams
Of the dead man, I
