What doesn’t kill you..
You will probably most likely try again
And then…try it again, and..again try, and
Sins, they just grin. The deadliest of sins
They suck draw and…they just pull you in
Serenading; right into your consciousness
Singing to you promising everything will be fine
One time…surely that’s enough, but is it?
These things in essence
They’re an attempt to replace something
Some items lost along your way
Things that you wanted to forever stay and
Having them flourish along life’s path
You’re bursting through with ambivalence
But then comes sin’s wrath

And that’s just the half…Do the math

You know what to do…knowing how it’s played
Familiar with the bed and knowing exactly how it’s made
Those comfortable sheets where them sins; an offer to get laid
Maybe the problem is your fears…NOT being afraid
Perhaps when you’re falling off; nodding off to sleep
Those deadening sins; yes..they do creep
Doing their own thing “keeping it real”
But you should’ve known, those sins; yes they DO steal
Encircling you with “Their Bestest of Friends
Should’ve known right then…it’s all about the sins
That Deadliest One on the mic; your cool singing buddy
The roasting of you; you come out looking nutty
Playing you for keeps; not to be trusted
Leaving you corrupted; stretched out & busted
Never the hero.. the math says zero
