The devil is inside us First he crawls in our brains; swims in our veins Hides in the inner workings of your soul Comes out to play at the times where He smells the weakness of another pouring out of their skin The scariest part about him isn’t the plan of attack No It’s how you never know when you’re dealing with him He disguises himself as God His goodness radiates from your pores letting the naive population Become your personal disciples Then it’s too late. He has you in his fiery fists But you don’t know that you’re burning until you’re crumbling out of his hands Into a mound of black dust at his feet Is it he who’s the devil? Or is it me?

we are the devil
The devil is inside us First he crawls in our brains; swims in our veins Hides in the inner workings of your soul Comes out to play at the times where He smells the weakness of another pouring out of their skin The scariest part about him isn’t the plan of attack No It’s how you never know when you’re dealing with him He disguises himself as God His goodness radiates from your pores letting the naive population Become your personal disciples Then it’s too late. He has you in his fiery fists But you don’t know that you’re burning until you’re crumbling out of his hands Into a mound of black dust at his feet Is it he who’s the devil? Or is it me?
we all have a little evil in us...
