Dance with the Devil
I dance with the devil
Waltzing back and forth
Bringing me down to his level
And killing my self worth
And everything joins us
Dancing this dance
The devil and I coalesce
In an unhealthy romance
I fall for depression as though I’ve been kissed
Always coming back for more
Swiftly the blade dances across my wrist
And the blood across the floor
The fire inside me fades away
The smoke dances around the room
Never again to see the light of day
And the darkness starts to consume
The dance comes close to an end
And the light flickers out
They say that I did condescend
As the devil twirled me about
