Reaper


just slightly deeper, so you hear the reaper

humming down your neck, there’s a price you pay

when you wanna live and you haven’t paid yet

you cut all day, but the pain just stays

now why do you think that is?

do you think it’s ‘cause you stray

away from all your veins, well that isn’t the same,

you’ll just be under more strain it’s insane

indefinitely, fidelities will occur

your simplistic life will become a blur

and it’s your fault, don’t suffer in thought

you took every step you needed to be here

press down harder, if this is real,

press down harder until you can’t feel

press harder until you can barely see

the reaper you play with in your sleep,

will step out your dreams and become reality
