Dancing with the Devil [6-9-08]

Blood and guts are not my type
Nor blades,
charades,
or getting high.
Taking lives is not my job
But right now I'd like to try
After all, I'm just a blob
That's wrecking all your life.
"Love and dreams are no concern
Just take a blade and rest
Rub it on your gentle skin
You're failing all life's tests."
Useless,
hopeless,
Unwanted all along.
Bleeding,
Pleading,
Failures form my song.
Sing it,
wing it,
Peel away the skin.
"She hates you,
Disgraced you,
What's one more sin?"
Don't push it, you're useless
Just take another chance
Follow me, I'll show you
How the devil likes to dance.
"Here's a swing, slip it on your throat"
He watches as you swing and swell
You're his favorite show.
Swimming in the lake of Hell
Enjoy this burning curse
Satan's carnival rides
Ride smoother than the hearse.
"Take away your wretched life
End your tasteless pain
Come, Dance with me
Here in the senging rain."
