Death's Hand (Redux)

I held Death's hand this evening
Can't keep my heart from beating, can't keep my throat from screaming
There has to be another way for me to keep on living
I held Death's hand this evening, closed my eyes, now I'm dreaming
I promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die, I'm fucking screaming
'Cause I've got more life to left to live
I got some promises to keep
To all the hearts that carried me
Out from the ocean deep
I've had to do some searching, to understand the reasons for every selfish feeling
I held Death's hand this evening
Now my lungs are failing, and my heart is fading
My mind is taking me so far away, I'm dreaming
For every selfish reason, I tipped the bottle, drowning
I'll pour my heart out
To stop you from leaving
I held Death's hand this evening, closed my eyes, now I'm dreaming
I promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die, I'm fucking screaming
'Cause I've got more life to left to live
I got some promises to keep
To all the hearts that carried me
Out from the ocean deep
I've had to do some searching, to understand the reasons, for every selfish feeling
I held Death's hand this evening
You're the ones that kept me going, I owe you this much
You gave me the strength to say "Hey Death, get fucked!"
You're the ones that kept me going, I owe you this much
You gave me the strength to say "Hey Death, get fucked!"
Now my lungs have failed me, and my heart is fading
My mind is taking me so far away, I'm dreaming
Now my lungs have failed me, and my heart is fading
My mind is taking me
