Life and Death

I stand on the verge of life and death
I have looked over the edge
And I have wings
They cannot hurt me
Or bring me down
 

I have danced with the devil
In the dark of the night
In the places in my soul
Where you wake up screaming
From the things you fear the most
 

And I kicked his ass
 

He stood on my throat
Choked me
Until I realized
He can only win
If I let him defeat my mind
 

He may grind my bones
To make his bread
But I’ll be damned
If I ever let him back
In my head
