The Devil Is In the Details
With every little smile
Hides a spectacular ploy
How this manipulative grown man
Turns into an angelic little boy
Every word carefully sourced
Constructed to bring him treasure
He will stick the knife in
Pretending to love in equal measure
Its hard to tell the mask
Even when it slips he never fails
Always something much darker going on
The devil is in the details
