Can you, can you,
keep the devils at bay?
You can't, you can't,
they like to play.
Play with the membranes of your tired mind,
and whisper seductive, tentative lies.
They talk to you like they are your friend.
Yet they feed on your insides, they welcome your end.
Wanting nothing more than to see your undoing.
Giddy with power at this mess they are brewing.
You fight, and you claw, and you bleed through your eyes,
but still they persuade you with lustrous chimes.
You stitch up your mouth, and bleed out the truth.
You've wasted away your eternal youth.
And even if you give into their sin,
They'll just find a different way to begin.
If you keep looking, still you will find,
the devils, the devils, the devils inside.
