Dance With Death

I have went down this road so many times
I've danced with death for way too long
It's a matter of time until I run out of chances
And he takes me on his own

Every time I try I regret it
Every time I fight hard enough
Just to make it back in the nick of time
Then I tell myself it'll never happen again
But he and I both know it's a lie
Deep within

I've done this too many times
He seems to check up on me once a year
Like he has for the last five
He could have me by the touch
Of one single finger
But doctors or fear bring me back
Just before he can touch me

It's the sixth year now
And I've called him again
He says he's tired of my games
But I'm serious this time
I want this pain to end
So goes to touch me one last time
There were no doctors
And there were no fights
He touched me with one finger
And took my life.-
