Always Chasing Me

You know I've always been scared of you
for sneaking up on me.
You're always taking the ones I love
to dark, dreamless sleep.
I always feel you on a night like this,
cold wind in the trees.
I always feel you breathing down my neck,
I hear you grinding your teeth.
You chase me down nearly every night
and every morning I leave you unsatisfied.
You chase me down nearly every night
My blood longs for a poison of any kind.
You know I've always been cheating you,
stacking the deck on me.
I'm always digging that hole I claim
that I pretend not to keep.
You chase me down nearly every night
and every morning I leave you unsatisfied.
You chase me down nearly every night
My blood longs for a poison of any kind.
You chase me down nearly every night
and every morning I leave you unsatisfied.
You chase me down nearly every night
