Any Devil Will Due
When loneliness settled in my bones
Bound by chains formed by tears that turned to stone
Here comes a familiar face
But he's no hero or saving grace
He is charming and dresses to kill
He is proof the devil is real
He knows what my defense are down
He hears my screams, although I make no sound
More times than not I shut down his show
But this time my lonely won't let him go
In deafening silence I long for any song
The need to feel anything I play along
My grief hangs my heart on every lie
Desperation makes me ok with the evil in his eyes
In the brightest pitch black I will play the fool
It's times like these that any devil will be
