The hard part is acknowledging
The devil inside
Holding him back is simpler
Than admitting he's there
So I confess
The devil's inside
He's been off to find trouble
Now he's found a place to hide
I have to trust my better angels
To keep him close at bay
Else I know just what he'd do
We'd do exactly what I know we'd do
Would not stop until tears were shed
Hearts broken
No remorse
So I turn on the black metal
And let him dance until he wears himself out
Channel the rage into the noise
Turn it into music
With any luck he'll sleep
For a long, long time
Long enough for me to forget about you
And all the things I want to do
