Edge
Saw the world in mommy's eyes
Through the blood and tears she cries
Now I have to sell my soul
To the fingers around her throat
(When no one's around)
The devil's in the walls
The devil's in the walls
The devil's in the walls
Do you wanna be alone?
Point and laugh till you're pushed in
Sins of the father are stories for children
But if you want to live at all
Innocence will take the fall
Daddy was a lesson learned
Rather go away and spread his word
To anyone willing to hear
Ones who love have too much fear
(When no one's around)
The devil's in the walls
The devil's in the walls
The devil's in the walls
Do you wanna be alone?
Point and laugh till you're pushed in
Sins of the father are stories for children
But if you want to live at all
Innocence will take the fall
