There's no reason for you to back off
Go ahead and sucker up and throw another punch
Baby
I'm stronger than you think
Blood on my face and blood on my teeth
Had a staring contest with the devil and he couldn't help but blink
Baby
He was the first one to blink

Do you feel that chill running down your spine do you see the fear in your dying eyes
That's hate, oh, that's hate
Do you fear the dark do you run and hide do you see your shadow creep around at night
Just shake, oh, just shake

Cause the night time is scary and death is around the bend
And the good life gets weary so go ahead and win
And if you have a question shut your mouth and keep it in
Cause no one has the answers, has the answers for the end

I met a demon at the end of my road
He offered me eternity dressed in purple robes and I said no
I know how this goes
He got a little angry and said kid you don't know shit
Everybody dies but not everybody lives 
And I said no
I won't sell my soul

Do you feel that chill running down your spine do you see the fear in your dying eyes
That's hate, oh, that's hate
Do you fear the dark do you run and hide do you see your shadow creep around at night
Just shake, oh, just shake

Cause the night time is scary and death is around the bend
And the good life gets weary so go ahead and win
And if you have a question shut your mouth and keep it in
Cause no one has the answers, has the answers for the end

Blood on my face and blood on my teeth
Had a staring contest with the devil and he couldn't help but blink 
Baby
Should've seen the devil blink
