Entertaining The Devil

Access denied,
how many times I've tried
but no weapon formed against me shall thrive
while I am alive,
cause I, I, I, 
I am alive
Through my eyes
I am alive.

“Hey man,
what happened to that job you were talking about?
They didn't take you?
That sucks man...
I'm sorry to hear that,
I know you've been down on your luck, 
and it sucks man that your music isn't going anywhere
I really wish I could help,
you sure you're ok?
You sure you're alright?
Will you make it through the night?
You'll make it through the night, right?
Just look on the bright side, I know things are rough
I know life has been tough..
I know when we get full we feel like we've had enough
yeah, life is tough man, tough”
I smiled, and nodded, yeah but hey, man
I'm alive...

“Hey man,
what happened with that girl you liked?
Oh, that sucks. Damn son,
Well, you can't win em all, ya know.
What happened to Lil Lee?  You knew him huh?
I heard about that, but not in full detail
I don't wanna gossip or bring it up,
that sucks...
I guess it's just the time we've got, yeah?
Just kind of floating in space,
I'm sorry you keep finding failure
where you should find success..
as a friend it hurts to see that happening
I wish it wasn't this way for you, Brendan..”
I put my hand on his back and smiled, 
hey man, I'm alive...

And I'm alive, I'm still here, after all these years
I won't die, not that easy, not when I'm alive.


Crawl and scrap
Drops of rain 
morsels of grain
live through the pain

Won't give so easy, even if I walk that line.
What I've earned I've earned.
What's mine is mine.
I am alive.  For the rest of my time.
I am alive.
