THERE'S A DEVIL IN MY HOUSE
Underneath the floorboards, right around the corner
There's a devil in my house, he revels in disorder
A sordid merchant peddling portents as false as they're spun
Muttering curses, convinced I am worthless by his serpent tongue
Wicked words flickering like lantern light, my eyes and ears deceived
There's a devil in my house and he will not let me leave
Windows boarded up by memories, what sights I see bring little piece
A leather noose, an iron roulette; I'm tortured by tools of forfeit
There's a devil in my house and he'd sooner **** me than let me forget
There's a devil in my house with nothing more of me left
