Devil's Backbone

Its as if you were raised on the devils backbone Strong doesn't begin to cut, especially compared to your knife You don't care if dead or actually alive You bring an abruptness into any form of life You make nothing seem like everything But it comes with a price You sure know how to make it look evil When it comes to playing nice And like an army vice Why do you need the help? Treating no one as you need them, ever Never as how the sea breathes the kelp So many take you for granted But your not even noticing their ignorance You've even found ways to be okay Be comforted by it in your own way of bliss And I wonder if you hold on to anything inside Has another woman made you remember her with just a kiss? I wonder why you act so mad yet don't mind if I follow But your eyes all the same towards me hold this hiss And ill never take you for granted Don't even care if I ever get to hold your hand When it comes to strength and handling loneliness By someone like you, I'm proud to stand
