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
