Dancing With The Devil

Dancing With The Devil

A Poem by JaushWilson

Surrounded and this darkness stays
Oh I can't make it go away
I drown it but it stays the same
I pray the Sheppard knows my name
Livin' numb but it don't stop pain
I keep waitin' for that 3 o'clock train
But it only takes me where I came
Oh Lord, Come and take my pain awaaaay
Come and take my pain awaaaay

All alone I go, Down this broken road, 
I'm afraid I know it all too well
But I suppose you can't keep dancin' with the devil,
and then wonder why you're still in hell

This life of sin, Many men fall slave
Livin' life, One foot in the grave
The devil whispers it's too late to be saved
One more bottle, Going down in flames
Daily strangled by the guilt and shame
Entangled in my mangled brain
My mistakes don't leave, Don't fade
Oh Lord, Come and take my pain, Awaaay
Lord, Come and take my pain awaaay

All alone I go, Down this broken road, 
I'm afraid I know it all too well
But I suppose you can't keep dancin' with the devil,
and then wonder why you're still in hell

Oh I know I dug this hole by myself,
And Lord knows I didn't need no help
But I suppose you can't keep dancin' with the devil,
And then wonder why you're still in hell
