What Doesn't Kill You

What doesn’t kill you..  
You will probably most likely try again  
And then…try it again, and..again try, and  
Sins, they just grin. The deadliest of sins  
They suck draw and…they just pull you in  
Serenading; right into your consciousness  
Singing to you promising everything will be fine  
One time…surely that’s enough, but is it?  
These things in essence  
They’re an attempt to replace something  
Some items lost along your way  
Things that you wanted to forever stay and  
Having them flourish along life’s path  
You’re bursting through with ambivalence  
But then comes sin’s wrath  
 
And that’s just the half…Do the math  
 
You know what to do…knowing how it’s played  
Familiar with the bed and knowing exactly how it’s made  
Those comfortable sheets where them sins; an offer to get laid  
Maybe the problem is your fears…NOT being afraid  
Perhaps when you’re falling off; nodding off to sleep  
Those deadening sins; yes..they do creep  
Doing their own thing “keeping it real”  
But you should’ve known, those sins; yes they DO steal  
Encircling you with “Their Bestest of Friends  
Should’ve known right then…it’s all about the sins  
That Deadliest One on the mic; your cool singing buddy  
The roasting of you; you come out looking nutty  
Playing you for keeps; not to be trusted  
Leaving you corrupted; stretched out & busted  
Never the hero... the math says zero...
