Eat You Alive

he said to me,

child, I’m afraid for your soul

these things that you’re after, they can’t be controlled

this beast that you’re after will eat you alive

and spit out your bones

she’ll string you along and she’ll sell you a lie

but there’s nothing but pain on the edge of a knife

there is no courage in flirting with fear

to prove you’re alive

I’ve seen the true face of the things you call Life

the voice of the siren that holds your desires

but Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell

and she’ll eat you alive

oh, she’ll eat you alive
