Passing

My eyes are shut but I can't sleep
That reaper's got his creepers over me
What if he comes to decide
To flick a switch then that's my goodbye

What scares me is his constant breath
His darkness holdin' on my neck
A wound that always heals but returns
I've never been so paranoid of
Something I can't avoid
I feel my life isn't earned
And Death's got a hold on me

My father called to break the news;
"Davey ain't sufferin' like he used to"
A thousand miles apart
Swear I've never heard a man cry so hard

What's killin' me is knowing I've
Only got so much time
I haven't seen my family for months
I'm livin' out so far away
They're growin' older everyday
I've never felt time pass this much
And Death's got a hold on me

Drugs and drinkin' whiskey helps but
Every tale's the same to tell
I'll have to face these facts when I'm next
Honestly, I'm terrified to
See what's on the other side cause
I ain't ready yet
And Death's got a hold on me
