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
