"How many nights have I lied awake
How many times have I taken this poison
How many ways have I died
Because I walked onto the property of the Devil
You hold the knife to my throat and
I don’t even try to save my life
If I was brave I would just
Cut these threads myself but
You bring me back every time
Tell me to close my eyes
And take my hands and fly me away from here
You smell the stench of fear and say:
“I promise I won’t let go”
And baby I start to believe
That the pain in my bones will leave
Even when you throw me in the fire I
Let you take this heart of mine"

Newbie here! This is the beginning of a song I started working on yesterday. It's called "Property of the Devil" and it's about toxic, abusive relationships (it's based off my history and in general about abusive people). I'm not sure about the genre, but thinking maybe my favorite: alternative rock. ...to be continued!
