Devil

Right in front of me is the devil 
Yet his eyes aren't screaming "evil".

You block people with your flames 
So you could hide your icy skin 
You have a closet filled with shame
So people would think you're full of sin

Don't pretend you're really mean 
Or that your heart is filled with dope 
When deep inside your rotten gene 
I might have found a little hope

I found a flicker of light 
That used to burn through your vains 
Now it's hidden -seen only at night 
caused from trusting strangers names. 

"It's to late for you to change"
"You'll always remain the same"
No wonder you're the devil,
If people only call you by this name .

You're just a fallen star
Creating chaos everywhere you go
The king of fire and hell 
But your flames will never glow
