grim reaper. Songtext
von Bitter Ends

Why now, why now
I felt the room go cold when you stepped inside
A shadow in the doorway with a lifeless smile
I′ve been fighting every demon just to stay alive

But now you're staring at me like it′s finally time
I'm tired, but I'm not ready to fade
But I′m broken, but I′m still not a grave
If you came here for my last breath, you won't get it

My heart′s still beating even when I regret it
I see your hand reaching out, but I'm not giving in
Not tonight, not like this
Grim Reaper, why are you here now

I′m not dead yet, don't pull me underground
I′ve been crawling through the darkness just to stay alive
I'm barely holding on, but I'm still trying to survive
Why are you here now


I′m not dead yet
Dead yet
You whisper in my ear that it′s easier to fall
That the pain in my head doesn't matter at all

But I′ve seen too many nights where I wanted to quit
And still drag my broken body out of every abyss
I'm bleeding, but that means I′m alive
I'm screaming because I′m terrified

If this is my reckoning, I'm not ready for it
I still have a fight left and I swear I won't quit
Don′t take me now
I′m not done fighting

Grim Reaper, why are you here now
I'm not dead yet, don′t you dare take me down
I'm clinging to the hope that I′ve got something left
You won't steal the last spark inside my chest

Why are you here now
I′m not dead yet, why
I feel the darkness closing in

But I won't let you in
I still want to win
Don't take me from this world
Looked in half a night


And I′m still alive
I′m still alive
I'm still alive
Grim Reaper, why are you here now

I′m not dead yet, I won't follow you down
I′m fighting for my heartbeat like it's all I have left
I swear I′ll keep breathing with my last breath
Why are you here now

I'm not dead yet
