Out Chasing Death

Lived life on the edge
Out chasing your lust
By dancing with Death
Depending on luck
You chased Death so long
Drank from the same cup
Then Death turned around
And just scooped you up

Fleeing your demons
And seeking your high
Chasing the dragon
Not wanting to die
You're going for broke
And shooting the moon
You're playing with fire
Not reading the room

Your empty eyes
Your constant lies
Do not protect
Concocted cries
Have no effect
Clever Healers
Even less
Seeking bliss
You made this mess

You followed the wrong crowd
Made a mess of your life
You wandered a dark path
Then your world took a dive
The crash it was brutal
Aftermath it was worse
Your misguided habits
It put you in a hearse

So lived life on the line
Had fun tempting fate
Your need to unwind
That's what you embraced
That devil may care
Belief in your mind
He takes as a dare
With Death you're entwined

You feel immortal
When you're in your high
It helped you live life
By helping you die
They say they are friends
But they tell you lies
They served you poison
With devils you dined

You look ahead
No future seen
Ruin and Death
Pale figurine
Watching you now
Blank empty eyes
Then it turns back
Beckons you die

You try to escape now
And you try to get clean
You want to get better
It's from what you have seen
You lived every day as
This could be your last day
Death once was your future
Death is now your today

You lived on the edge
You're now feeling stuck
You needed to scratch
Once more just for luck
But your luck ran out
You knew you fucked up
When Death turned around
And just scooped you up

But your luck ran out
You knew you fucked up
When Death turned around
And just scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up

You chased Death so long
You breathed the same breath
You knew you could die
By dancing with Death
Then your luck ran out
You knew you fucked up
When Death turned around
And just scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
And Death scooped you up
