Flirting With Death - Original Version

[Intro] [beautiful haunting piano, soft and melancholic] Death... [Verse 1] [piano and acoustic guitar, intimate and pained] Death, I flirted with her all my life. She's a fickle bitch, Won't let me taste the light. [Pre-Chorus] Worked tandem with hope, Gave me just enough to cope, With a life I despise, Can you see the pain in my eyes? [Chorus] [heavy distorted guitars and pounding drums explode] The cut feels so sweet! Shotgun blasts a better release! I'm screaming through the pain, begging for the end! This torment never stops, just let it fucking end! The cut feels so sweet! Shotgun blasts a better release! [Verse 2] [piano and acoustic guitar return, building quietly] Pills dumped down my throat, chasing the dark. Carbon monoxide filling up the garage. Rope tight around my neck, kicking out the chair. Cliff edge calling me, ready to disappear. [Pre-Chorus] Worked tandem with hope, Gave me just enough to cope, With a life I despise, Can you see the pain in my eyes? [Chorus] [even heavier, full anguish] The cut feels so sweet! Shotgun blasts a better release! I'm screaming through the pain, begging for the end! This torment never stops, just let it fucking end! The cut feels so sweet! Shotgun blasts a better release! [Bridge] [half-time, raw screamed vocals with heavy reverb] Why won’t you take me, you teasing whore? I’ve danced on this edge forevermore. No more pretending I’m okay… Just end it now, take me away. [Final Chorus – biggest and heaviest yet, layered screams] The cut feels so sweet! Shotgun blasts a better release! I'm screaming through the pain, begging for the end! This torment never stops, just let it fucking end! Pills, gas, rope, or the final leap… Death come finish what you’ve begun! [Outro] [drums drop out, back to solo piano and whispered broken male voice] Death… I flirted with her all my life… Come and take me… End this endless night.
