The pills help me forget about my past mistakes
It helps me forget about those snakes
The ones who I once embraced
The ones who treated me like a slave
I've obeyed them but in the end
It made me feel numb
So I got out of that place
But I still love them

I don't know what to do with myself anymore
My hearts in pain
It aches to be back inside that cage
I was loyal to those devils
but how they treated me was awful

The light they showed me was out of this world
it was beautiful and It blinded me from the lies
but it was eternal
I didn't feel like myself afterwards
I felt like I was one of them
Just another devil with a hand on the dagger

Those nights in the summer
I loved everything about it
I loved being a sinner
and the dark still lingers
but I can't look in the mirror

They've got my heart
and it will be in the dark
In this life
And the ones after.
