Sell Me to the Devil

As the days go on my strength fades and I am weak

Rocked with tremors as tears streak down my cheek

I cannot hide my suffering now, sweetheart

Fuck these goddamn miles keeping us apart

Without your arms around my shaken body

There is nothing to contain this pain inside of me

I’m caught up in this wind storm, I feel torn

The darkness is draining the light inside, I’m worn

I’m wasted and I’m alone without you by my side

The tears fall silently, but not unseen, I cannot hide

All I’ve ever wanted was to be held you

But this distance is a wall you can’t break through

So fuck this world and all the empty souls

My heart is cracked and riddled with holes

I’m falling down the darkest of them all

Tumbling down, helpless and limp as a rag doll

So just tear me up and throw me down

I never expected you to keep me around

I am nothing but a body walking

I am nothing but a wilted carcass rotting

Knock me down and kick me you treasonous asshole

While you’re at it, just sell the devil my fucking soul

All we could do was stand there wa… Watching the bodies downward float… No longer afraid, no longer fighti… We watched the bodies falling We saw their life force fading
