The Devil Doesn't Bargain
You're in my head again, it's been awhile since you've stopped in
It would be a lie to say I missed you
There's no point in missing something that keeps you so thin
You always appear at the worst times
It's a familiar knock at the door
And sometimes I think you're here to kill me
Because oftentimes there's nothing left to take from me anymore.
I’m being selfish though, people would murder for my body
I could try and not to answer the door but you always find a way to me
And sometimes ignoring, is a deadly price to pay
I'm quite good at it though, because I always let you stay
Keep a sealed mouth so nobody starts to worry
My weight is dropping, My body's freezing, I fainted twice today
I knew I had a problem when I was just trying to make it through the day
I'm getting awfully tired now, Dancing with the devil
Seeing how long I can make it until my body begins to crumble
Casket or cure?
I won't know until I know
What's worse than losing a game that you never intended to play?
Fighting the devil at another shot to stay
While holding losing cards, knowing I'll never win
It's just the price you pay when you want to be thin
