Drag Me Back To Hell
Drag Me Back to Hell

Drag me back to hell, might as well
See this spirit swell, go ahead and dwell
You’re shocked you say, you didn’t know anyway
Didn’t see the inner me, wait till my smile frays
It’s a story you will write, a boy once so bright
His skin didn’t burn, but he did lose his sight
If you think he fell so far, see through the lies
It became his demise, the demon’s great prize
Regardless the heights his war-torn heart soared
The darkness pulled him down and closed the door
He fought all along, and the entire way down
But he had to please the misery and drown
Its winner takes all for everyone involved
There was hope once before but has since dissolved
Back to the darkness, with crimson comes the knife
When the sentence is read, it is twenty nine to life
